Project expansion

In order to widen the commercialisation path of REHAROB, the manufacturer of the purchased robots will be subcontracted in the 6th project month in value of 100 kEuro.
For this reason a preference will be given a large scale robot manufacturer.
Design and installation of the REHAROB cell as well as the development of the control algorithm can be more efficient if the manufacturer of the selected robot is “in-house”.
Main contribution of this partner will however be the reinforced exploitation potential of the consortium.
