Ongoing Projects

Document Actions

One of the principal tasks in RoboCluster is to identify and support the development of innovative ideas and technologies, who lead to new products and companies in the robotics and automation industry. This is done through innovative projects which combine know-how from the scientific sector with that of the commercial sector. This approach helps to ensure that research results from universities are used in the private sector.

RoboCluster Project Exchange


RoboCluster Project Exchange is trade and industry’s entrance to RoboCluster. The exchange offers assistance to enterprises in terms of robotic innovation; and they get access to research and growth-oriented competencies acquired by the knowledge institutions. Projects are evaluated by a panel of experts from the knowledge institutions, and by technology developers from the network.
