The JARVIS project has launched its first Open Call for Proposals, and we are now looking for external experts to evaluate applications submitted under this call.

About the JARVIS Project

JARVIS is a Horizon Europe-funded project focused on accelerating the adoption of AI-powered human-robot collaboration (HRC) within the European manufacturing sector. By integrating advanced technologies in robotics, artificial intelligence, and automation, the project supports the development of intelligent, adaptable, and user-friendly solutions for industrial environments. JARVIS aims to boost productivity, flexibility, and safety on the factory floor by enabling seamless interaction between humans and machines.

Through its Open Calls, the project provides funding and support to third parties developing and validating cutting-edge HRC use cases. In doing so, JARVIS is building a dynamic ecosystem of technology providers, adopters, and experts working together to drive the future of European industry.
