Title	Bioinspired soft robotic systems for cognitive production
Summary	The objective of the BIOIC project is to setup a framework for a long-lasting strategic research collaboration between Fraunhofer and University of Naples Federico II in the field of bioinspired soft robotic technologies, with a focus on cognitive production systems and biological transformation. The project will develop multiple core technology platforms to be used in different scenarios and different application areas. Two research directions have been established, one on soft articulated robots and one on soft-bodied robots. The first research direction aims at developing technologies which imitate the human behavior, the second aims at developing technologies for better human-robot interaction and safe collaborations. Industrial companies from Germany and Italy have also been involved in the BIOIC project as part of an advisor group that accompanies the project from an industrial perspective.
