About European Robotics Week
European Robotics Week is an initiative of the European euRobotics research project. The aim of the project is to spread the word about the diversity and quality of European robotics when it comes to research and development, as well as manufacturing and service. European Robotics Week thus serves mainly to strengthen the acceptance of robotics among the public at large and make people more familiar with robotics technology. Over 125 institutions, universities and companies from seventeen European countries hosted over 340 events during European Robotics Week 2011.
