The INTERREG 4A project Intelligent Robots for Handling of
Flexible Objects (IRFO) is hosting a workshop to present the
scientific results of the two first project years and to
demonstrate the robot demonstrator.
The project's aim is to analyze and handle deformable and
flexible objects, such as meat, by using robots. The workshop is
aimed at scientists and end-users, who will be employed in the
automatic handling of such objects. The workshop will focus on
the tasks in the project titled as above, where focus is to bundle
3d-vision, grasping, sensing & modeling of flexible
objects using information extracted by 3d-vision.
The partners in the project Intelligent Robots for Handling of
flexible objects have the intension of showing the scientific
outcome of their work and bring it to public use in the future.
Hopefully, this technology can create more workplaces and better
work environment in European industry. Visitors should participate,
because this workshop are integrating so many difficult tasks, that
it is by any means a very progressive project aiming to be a
frontend technology to be used in the industry in the future

Planned follow-up
The outcome of the workshop can be strengthened by collecting
information about the industrial need for handling of flexible
objects and in which business areas this could be applied. This
information will be made available to attendants of the
workshop.
Further information
Visiting the website www.interreg-robot.eu -
which contains articles, videos, and other scientific work within
the area of the workshop - will help clarify the problems
investigated by speakers and give a more detailed overview to
flexible object handling.
A demonstrator from an actual project, which bundles various
parts of the above technology, will be on display at the Forum. The
technologies, such as vision, modelling and grasping together with
handling of flexible objects can be investigated in a real
application. The demonstrator intends to show state-of-the-art for
such technologies, and will in the future be transferred to system
integrators working on high-level robotic platforms.

The European Robotics Forum, organized by the European
robotic networks EURON, EUROP, the euRobotics Coordination Action
and hosted by The Danish Technological Institute, is in the
field of robotics the meeting point for engineers, scientists and
business people from all over Europe. The event will take
place from 5-7 March 2012 in Odense, Denmark.
More than 300 robotics researchers from industry and academia,
as well as entrepreneurs and public investors, are expected to
discuss the latest developments, research challenges and business
opportunities for European robotics.
This year's theme of the European Robotics Forum is "European
Robotics towards new horizons".
