Industry has a good disposition to integrate the techologies developed and applied in COROMA: we must continue approaching final applications of robots in manufacturing environment.
Even though we've not reached TRL 9, it is clear from our industrial prototypes, that the results are good compared with those of manual operations.
Even though the final system application substitutes manual operations, new high level tasks are created, so job loss is not a direct outcome from robotisation.
In fact, high level Robotics and automation in European industry is a must in order to avoid manufacturing operations to migrate to low cost countries.
There is a need of standards (safety/ risk assessment) for mobile robots in industrial environments.
