ARISE at ERF 2026

The European Robotics Forum (ERF) is the leading event for the European robotics and AI community, bringing together over 1,000 participants from industry, academia, and the public sector. Held annually in a different European city, ERF is the go-to platform to explore cutting-edge technologies, foster collaboration, and address the latest challenges and trends shaping the future of robotics in Europe.

ARISE partners will be present at the event and participate in the workshop “Human-Robot Collaboration in Industry: Open-Source Middleware, Modular AI, and Safe Heavy-Duty Interaction”

• Date and time: 24th March at 16:00pm
• Room: Mastrafjorden B

Human–Robot Collaboration is moving from pilots to real industrial deployment. This workshop explores how to scale HRC safely and efficiently by combining human-centric system design, modular AI, and open-source middleware. We will address interoperability, safety assurance in heavy-duty environments, and integration challenges across diverse real scenarios. Bringing together research, SMEs, and industry, the session aims to identify practical frameworks, standardisation needs, and deployment pathways that enable trustworthy and scalable collaborative robotics in Europe.

Join us at ERF 2026 to exchange ideas, experiences, and shape the next steps for industrial HRC!
