The robotics research project ECHORD++ (The European Coordination Hub for Open Robotics Development) will promote the interaction between robot manufacturers, researchers and users. It is the follow-up project of ECHORD (European Clearing House for Open Robotics Development, 2009 – 2013), which was installed as an incubator to drive innovation by facilitating the cooperation between academia and industry. ECHORD++ will achieve its goal by implementing three different instruments: the Experiments, Public end-user Driven Technological Innovation (PDTI), and the Robotics Innovation Facilities (RIFs). With the Experiments and PDTI, ECHORD++ offers research consortia funding to develop robotics technology for real use-cases. The RIFs provide a unique chance to try out new business ideas and make field tests at zero risk.
