Abstract

Focussed on application-oriented research and development, ECHORD++ (E++) is being funded by the European Comission in the 7PM for five years to improve and increase the innovation in robotic technology. Activities include small-scale projects and a “structured dialogue” incorporating public entities and citizens. Three instruments and processes are being developed under the ECHORD++ project: experiments (EXP), Research Innovation Facilities (RIF) and Public end-user Driven Technological Innovation (PDTI), all of them aimed at improving and increasing the innovation in robotic technology within SMEs companies and addressing answers to societal and industrial needs in different scenarios. This paper describes the outcomes and results of the project, the tasks of communication and dissemination and the structured dialogue between all the involved stakeholders.
