At Automatica 2014 in Munich this year, the ECHORD++ project asked roboticists like Vijay Kumar, Uwe Haass, Pere Homs, and Christian Schlegel one simple question: “What do you think is the future of robotics?” Find out just how bright they think the future of robotics will be in this video.

Project ECHORD++

The aim of ECHORD++ is to strengthen knowledge transfer between scientific research and industry in robotics and to stimulate their cooperation. ECHORD++ is a joint project of Technische Universität München (project coordinator), Blue Ocean Robotics, Bristol Robotics Laboratory, Commissariat à lÉnergie Atomique et aux Énergies Alternatives, R.U. Robots, Scuola Superiore SantAnna and Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya.
