Healthcare robotics networked across Europe
"Robotics is central to Europe’s Digital Strategy and 196 of the registered DIHs have identified robotics as an area of expertise.
In addition, the European Commission awarded 80M € since 2018 to 5 DIH
networks with a robotics focus. Each of these brings together one or two
dozen DIHs, with the aim of expanding to even more during the project.
The Horizon 2020 projects Trinity and DIH² focus on Agile production, RIMA promotes the uptake of robotics for inspection and maintenance applications, DIH-HERO facilitates the healthcare robotics sector, and agROBOfood
enables the adoption of robotics technologies in the agri-food sector.
To coordinate these projects, the Coordination and Support Action (CSA) RODIN started
last November with funding of 2M € over five years to cover the whole
life-cycle of the network projects. The aim is to present a harmonised
interface to the overall landscape of robotics DIHs, coordinate events
and calls, share best practice, and connect with similar networks in
other areas, such as DIHNET.EU (Next Generation European DIH Network)."
DIH-HERO is an independent platform which connects Digital Innovation Hubs across Europe to create a sustaining network for all those who are active in the healthcare robotics sector. The project consortium consists of 17 core partners spread across 11 pan-European countries.
DIH-HERO focuses on healthcare
robotics. DIH HERO provides SMEs with 200 travel vouchers for
cross-border traveling up to a maximum amount of €2,000 per voucher.
Following the ambition to build a sustainable platform for all the stakeholders active in the healthcare ecosystem, the different digital innovation hubs within the DIH-HERO network the various partners will offer a variety of services to the actors within the healthcare robotics domains.
The main service categories are: - Technology
- Incubation & capital
- Infrastructure
- Certification
- Education & Training"
