Collaborative Network for Training in Electronic Skin Technology (CONTEST)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
"Future electronic systems will be bendable and conformable. They will be wearable, disposable, and ubiquitous. CONTEST will train young researchers in the fast expanding field of flexible and large area electronics with emphasis on “wearable” devices.Training will be implemented through well-defined work packages covering critical aspects of flexible electronics, converging towards an electronica ...

Developmental pathway towards autonomy and dexterity in robot in-hand manipulation (HANDLE)
Start date: Feb 2, 2009, End date: Jan 31, 2013,
Description
Handling with the efficiency of humans
Today’s robots are unable to achieve a high level of dexterous and fine manipulation, especially when this requires in-hand manipulation. The HANDLE project aims at understanding how humans perform the manipulation of objects in order to replicate ...

Autonomous cleaning robot for large scale photovoltaic power plants in Europe resulting in 5% cost reduction of electricity (PV-Servitor)
Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2011,
The PV-Servitor project focuses on concepts for a fully autonomous cleaning robot for ground mounted large scale photovoltaic power plants consisting of several 100 kW units. The PV-Servitor shall be able to automatically clean glass surfaces of solar modules in several areas of up to 2,500 square meters in an unrestricted way. Its application will increase the electricity output of the PV plant b ...
