FFG Project Grant – MUTAVIA

Our proposal, Multi-modal, tactile-visual robotic gripping system for industrial applications (German: “Multi-modale, taktile-visuelle Robotergreifsysteme für industrielle Anwendungen”), has been accepted for funding! Over the next three years, CPS will receive approximately half a million euros to develop cutting-edge robotic manipulation and grasping solutions, advancing innovation in industrial applications.
