What is EuRoC about?Motivation● The European manufacturing industry needs competitive solutions to keep global
leadership in products and services● Collaboration and cross-fertilization between industrial and research community
should be strengthened synergies across these will speed up the process of bringing innovative technologies from research labs to industrial end-users
● EuRoC wants to act as an enabler in this context● Challenges: innovation drivers, as they share the strive for questioning the status quo● Robotics competitions: potential for fostering research and development, as well as supporting
academia-industry tech transfer
Concept● Three industry-relevant challenges launched in April 2014 with open calls for
Challengers, Technology Developers, System Integrators and End Users● Each of the challenges is divided into three stages of increasing complexity● The project will end with one EuRoC winner team

Who is part of EuRoC?● Core Consortium — Research organizations, technology providers
and systems integrators providing: management and organization of challenges, hosting robotic platforms, tools and support
● Research Teams — Research Organizations● End Users — Manufacturing companies providing use cases to the
Challenger Teams● Technology Developers — Companies or research organizations
developing innovative technologies and looking for an application of their technology in the industrial robotics domain
● System Integrators — Companies that specialize in either bringing together robotic components/subsystems or developing and commissioning whole robotic systems (only for Challenge 1)
Challenger Teams

EuRoC Challenges
Reconfigurable InteractiveManufacturing Cell
Shop Floor Logisticsand Manipulation
Plant Inspectionand Servicing
● Each challenge involves whole manufacturing supply chains within their field, while favouring technology transfer from academia to industry
● Registered Challengers had to solve a set of benchmarking exercises in the form of a Simulation Contest during Stage I: Qualifying
● Selected Challengers then team up with partners from the industry and share existing resources at three top European platforms in Stage II: Realistic Labs
● In Stage III: Field Tests, Challenger teams must ensure sustainability and adaptability to end users

Project Lures1. Cumulative sum of € 7 M grant money available to the Challengers
● 9 Teams will receive up to € 375 K each in the two stages● 6 Teams will receive up to € 585 K each in the three stages
2. Added value of the challenge experiments● Benchmark new algorithms on three first-class European hosting platforms● End users, technology developers and system integrators on board from start● Open access to platforms ● Full support from local hosts and end users● Test algorithms at end-user site in the final stage● Financial support available to cover personnel and travel/lodge costs
3. Formation of Challenger Teams ● Gain business experience ● Great networking opportunities
