H2020 I.AM. project

I.AM. (acronym for "Impact-Aware Manipulation by Dexterous Robot Control and Learning in Dynamic Semi-Structured Logistic Environments") is a research project coordinated by the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). The project aims at improve the ability of robots of performing dynamic contact tasks in logistics environments, by exploiting robot-object collisions instead of fearing them. The project started in January 2020 and will last four years, co-funded by the European Union with about € 4.4 million under the program Horizon 2020. It involves research institutes and international companies in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, France, and Sweden. The consortium of I.AM. project consists of: TU/e -- Eindhoven University of Technology (as coordinator), EPFL -- Ecolé Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, TUM -- Technische Universität München, CNRS -- Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Algoryx Simulation , Franka Emika, Smart Robotics, Vanderlande Industries.
