The document discusses the HORSE project, which aims to foster the deployment of robotics technology in manufacturing industries. The project will establish Centers of Competence in four European countries to simplify access to robotics for SMEs and facilitate the integration of robots with existing machines and workflows. The Centers will offer expert support and advice on deploying robotic solutions for manufacturing applications in a way that allows safe human-robot interaction and reduces health risks for workers.

• Foster robotics technology deployment in
manufacturing industries
Objectives
• Framework enabling the deployment of robotics
solutions
• Competence Centres acting as clustering points
for manufacturing
• Open Call to deploy and assess the HORSE
solution
Approach
• interactions between humans, robots and
machines with no fences
• Integration with pre-existing machines and
workflows.
• Safety of the worker & reduction of health risks
Focuses

3. Centres of Competence, Robotics Innovation Hubs in HORSE
What are they?
• Four settings representative of
manufacturing installations: DE, FR, NL, SL
• Robot and supplies used in production lines.
Their role?
• Simplify usage and facilitate access to
robotics by European industry and especially
first users SME.
• Offer expert support for advising on
deployment and fast assessment of robotics
solutions in manufacturing.
• Capitalise lessons learnt and best practices.
Their scope?
• Aim at capturing the industrial ecosystem in
each region where they are implemented.
