Abstract

Robotics Innovation Facilities (RIFs) are open to the public labs which provide state-of-the-art robotic hardware and software, as well as scientific and technical support. Anticipating market trends, the RIFs instrument cover a wide range of application areas. Users can come from all areas, regardless of if they already have robotics experience or not. This article details the procedure developed at the three ECHORD++ RIFs—Bristol, UK, Paris-Saclay, France and Peccioli, Italy- and some results and contributions in robotic technoloy.

    Open Innovation refers in the fields of research and development to modes of innovation based on sharing, collaboration between stakeholders. Open Innovation is compatible with a market economy (via patents and licenses) and with Economic Intelligence, and allows alternative ethical or solidarity-based approaches (solidarity economy) to the free sharing of modern or traditional knowledge and know-how, including the use of free licenses. Depending on the case, the approach may therefore appear altruistic or, on the contrary, as a means of distributing (competition) or sharing (partnership) risk and investment outside an organization.
