EuROBIN is a network of excellence that brings together European expertise in robotics and artificial intelligence and establishes a single pan-European platform for research and development. For the first time, a large number of leading research labs across Europe, including the Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics and Cybernetics of the Czech Technical University in Prague (CIIRC CTU), are coming together to jointly develop AI-based robotics. The objectives of the project include both making significant scientific advances in key issues of intelligent robotics and strengthening the scientific robotics community in Europe by providing an integrative community platform. The network is open to the entire robotics community and provides cascading funding mechanisms to increase the number of members in the coming years.
