TERRINet is an EU H2020 infrastructure project. It represents the effort made by Europe to maintain its leadership in Robotics, by focusing on research. The project is also committed to grow and educate a new generation of researchers in Robotics able to design, develop and manage future robots.
Harmonised access, use and sharing of platforms, knowledge, technologies and resources (both human and technical) to different groups of users, irrespective of location, will sustain a Starting Community leveraging on a common World-Class Networked Infrastructure. The joint infrastructure, with simplified and standardised procedures based on the best practices of the involved institutions, will contribute to steeply accelerate the advancement of Robotics Research, by boosting its potential for innovation through the capitalisation of wherewithal and expertise across Europe.
Partners
The network consists of 13 excellent European universities and research institutes, all offering different facilities and robotic platforms. The main goal is to provide easy access to various platforms that users otherwise wouldn't have access to. The UT is participating with Space53, SmartXP, the KUKA and Franka robots of RaM, HMI, LOPES, and TechMed.
How does it work
Through a series of calls for project proposals, TERRINet provides access to the network's infrastructures. The network consists of 13 excellent European universities and research institutes, all offering different facilities and robotic platforms. The main goal is to provide easy access to various platforms that users otherwise wouldn't have access to.
Who can apply
Applicants considered range from academic and industrial researchers to students from school level up to PhD, as well as business entrepreneurs. Project proposals will be evaluated by a committee to decide which proposals get a grant covering access costs to the infrastructure as well as a budget contribution for travel and subsistence expenses.
