Abstract
ECHORD++ funds small-scale research projects called experiments with a maximum duration of 18 months. Cooperative research is done in academia-industry consortia, based on actual used cases. This article describes the procedure, the phases and the results reached under ECHORD++ Experiments instrument, encouraging and supporting robotic academia and industry in Europe, working together in tailor made solutions for their technological challenges. As the authors say, thanks to the effort spent in the first ECHORD and in the current ECHORD++, the Experiments instrument is now solid and ready to be seen as an example of good practice in cascade funding.
