PAST EVENTS
EU Industry Week 2021
FEBRUARY 2021
EU Industry Days, Europe’s flagship annual event on industry, took place from 23 – 26 February.
The European Commission is investing in EU industry for a modern, clean and fair economy launched workshops, seminars, open door sessions and business presentations which demonstrated how European industrial ecosystems are:
- Shaping Europe’s digital future;
- Making Europe’s industry climate-neutral by 2050;
- EU competitiveness in the changing global competitive landscape.
The event serves as a central platform, bringing together a wide range of partners to discuss industry challenges and develop opportunities and policy responses. It also helps to ensure that policies at the European, national, regional and local levels work together to enable European industry to deliver jobs, growth and innovation in Europe.
Nikos Dimitropoulos, from Laboratory for Manufacturing Systems and Automation, one of our partner, presented the challenges & technological solutions developed to accomplish seamless collaboration between humans and robots in industrial environments developed within the SHERLOCK project during a session organised by Comau Group and the European Association of Development Agencies. This presentation shone a light on the work being done by everyone contributing to the SHERLOCK project.
Discussing collaborative human-robot applications @the 8th CIRP CATS
OCTOBER 2020
SHERLOCK had the great opportunity to give three keynote speeches during the 8th CIRP Conference on Assembly Technology and Systems on “Digitalizing Smart Factories”, which took place from the 29 of September to the 1 of October 2020.
On the 1st day, SHERLOCK partners held a keynote speech on “Seamless human-robot interaction”; directly jumping into the topic of novel industrial collaborative robots. New scenarios emerge and evolve where physical barriers no longer separate industrial robots from the human operator.
On the 2nd day, SHERLOCK partners gave a keynote speech on “Advanced soft robotics technologies and smart mechatronics” highlighting how the digital transformation of products and production related to the Industry 4.0 revolution pushes manufacturers to rethink their assembly systems and processes.
Finally, on the 3rd day of the conference, SHERLOCK partners presented one last keynote speech on “Safety and security in collaborative workspaces” raising a crucial aspect: the central place occupied by the human operator.
Co-organisation of the 7th Hybrid Production Workshop @ERF2020
MARCH 2020
For the second time, SHERLOCK attended the most influential meeting of the robotics community: The European Robotics Forum. This year, the event held in Málaga under the main topic of the potential of future robotic applications and AI, to ethics, inclusion and social impact. We had the chance to explore these key topics through a series of multidisciplinary workshops, conferences and presentations. Besides, an exhibition showcasing the most advanced prototypes, products and services of the EU Horizon 2020 research programme took place during the 2 days forum.
For two years in a row, SHERLOCK highlighted its results and human-oriented solutions, as well as to share our experiences with the robotics community during the 7th Hybrid Production Workshop, co-hosted with other robotics-relevant EU projects.
Attending GIZELIS Robotics open house
NOVEMBER 2019
GIZELIS ROBOTICS presented the most complete range of sheet metal, metal and robotic systems processing machines, at its factory in Schimatari, Viotia, for its open house event.
On this occasion, SHERLOCK partners attended the event to present the project to the GIZELIS community and to leverage the visibility and the benefits of future SHERLOCK applications. This open house event also fostered the dialogue with potential prospects customers within the robotic industries in Greece.

Introducing SHERLOCK project at Composites Meetings
NOVEMBER 2019
For two days, SHERLOCK project has been presented at Composites Meetings, a large trade show representing more than 18 countries, bringing together users of composite materials, as well as suppliers and encouraging BtoB meetings for composite materials.
Considering this great opportunity to extend the network, SHERLOCK attended the meeting and more specifically run a stand dedicated to Human-Robot Collaboration. SHERLOCK discussed the future of robotics technology for industries and develop stronger relations within the European robotics community.
SHERLOCK co-hosted its first workshop on the Hybrid Production @ERF2019
MARCH 2019
SHERLOCK had the great opportunity to co-host a workshop focused on Hybrid Production during the most influential meeting of the robotics community: The European Robotics Forum 2019 (#ERF2019).
Held in Bucharest, the event took place under the theme “Robots for Humans: AI for the real world”. The forum brought together over 900 leading scientists, companies, and policymakers for the largest robotics networking event in Europe to discuss and develop visions for the future of robotics for industries.
