The conference aims at providing a proper space for discussing soft robotics challenges in research and applications, at international level. Given the young area and the lively interdisciplinary community that grew around soft robotics, an international conference on this topic is extremely timely and important for further developments in this field, for producing new science, new technologies and new opportunities for applications. The conference would be very suitable to young researchers and students, too. The interdisciplinary nature of soft robotics gives the conference the potential for attracting attendees from more disciplines and the current expectations around soft robotics provide the potential for attracting attendees from companies.

During the European Robotics Forum, the TERRINet members took the occasion for having a Consortium meeting.

During the meeting, details about accesses procedures and open call have been discussed as well as the definition of the database containing the robotics platforms of the 15 infrastructures.

The European Robotics Forum (ERF2018), the most influential meeting of the robotics community in Europe, will be held in Tampere, Finland, on 13-15 March 2018.

The TERRINet project was presented by its coordinator Prof. Paolo Dario, on 13^th and 14th March, in sessions organized by Dr. Cecile Huet about the new H2020 robotics projects in the SPARC strategy and EU Projects offering  services.

Over 800 European robotics top experts are expected to attend the conference. Under the theme “Robots and Us”, ERF2018 covers current societal and technical themes related to the field of robotics. Interesting subjects will be discussed, including human-robot-collaboration and how robotics can improve industrial productivity and service sector operations. Researchers, engineers, managers, and a growing number of entrepreneurs, business people, and public funding officers from all over Europe come together to discuss technology push and market pull and how innovation in robotics can be accelerated.
