Project:
Networking for Research and Development of Human Interactive and Sensitive Robotics Taking Advantage of Additive Manufacturing
Registration number:857061
Realization period:01.01. 2020 – 30.06. 2023
Leader at TUL:prof. Ing. Aleš Richter, CSc.
The strategic objective of the project is to step up the development of the excellent research in the field of
interactive, sensible autonomous robotic systems based on Additive manufacturing and using smart materials
based on nanopolymers at the TECHNICKA UNIVERZITA V LIBERCI, Czech Republic (hereinafter referred
to as TUL) by creating partnerships with four leading foreign research institutions from France (INSTITUT
NATIONAL POLYTECHNIQUE DE TOULOUSE and UNIVERSITE PAUL SABATIER TOULOUSE III), Spain
(MONDRAGON GOI ESKOLA POLITEKNIKOA JOSE MARIA ARIZMENDIARRIETA S COOP) and Denmark
(AALBORG UNIVERSITET). TUL will significantly enhance the quality and competitiveness of research in this
area through staff and student exchanges, expert visits and participation at conferences. The purpose of the mobility
of scientists and administrative support staff will be to acquire new knowledge and experience in the given field of
research, and also to prepare and implement international scientific projects or contacts at the level of the planned
research collaboration with leading research organizations. Business trips will lead to the creation of new project
ideas, with the most promising being submitted to international calls. The project will also include the organization of
expert seminars, workshops, PhD forums and international conferences. The main focus of these activities will be the
intensive transfer of knowledge from leading research centres to the specialist workplaces at TUL.The main benefit
of the project will be to bring the quality of research at TUL significantly closer to that of internationally recognized
counterparts from the EU, whereby facilitating TUL’s access to funding from European Commission. In terms of
personnel capacities, the project will increase the scientific and technical capacities in the institutions involved and
will support the professional growth of the staff involved in the project.
