On Monday May 17th, the R3-COP consortium held its kick-off meeting in Munich. R3-COP is a large project from Call 2009 that addresses the needs of autonomous systems (robotics), for land-based systems (industrial robots, autonomous mobile machines and service-robots), aerial and submarine applications (for inspection / surveillance). The 30 partners of the project had sent some 45 delegates to this large meeting. The ARTEMIS-JU Programme Manager was invited, to observe and to present some background on the programme and on the how and why of some of the administrative steps that need to be finalised. The highly interactive meeting has got the project off to a a flying start!
On April 19-20, 2010, the ACROSS (ARTEMIS Cross-Domain Architecture) project held its kick-off meeting in Vienna, Austria.
In a constructive meeting the technical approach was discussed and the detailed workplan for the coming months was elaborated.

The iFEST project was kicked off in Oslo April 1, 2010. iFEST aims to remedy the highly fragmented nature of incompatible tools for embedded systems, with particular emphasis on HW/SW codesign and lifecycle aspects. iFEST will develop a tool integration framework, provide a set of integration technologies, promote standardization, and evaluate the capabilities of the tool-chains in real industrial development settings. The consortium has 21 partners. The total effort in the project is 1460 person months and the budget is €16.104.713.
ABB AS is the project Coordinator.
