In February 2024, JARVIS hosted its first General Assembly at the TOFAS facilities in Bursa, Türkiye. Over two days, our consortium of 16 organizations convened to set actions on how to pioneer human-robot collaboration through AI in a user-centric manner, as part of a 4-year project funded by Horizon Europe.

The assembly was a dynamic blend of formal discussions and informal exchanges, focusing on short and long-term activities across our four key use cases: Aeronautics, Automotive, Nuclear Energy, and Offshore Energy. The primary objective? To develop cutting-edge human-robot interaction interfaces, enhance social skills for user-centric engagement, demonstrate scalable applications, and develop cognitive and intelligent mechatronics. In addition to strategic planning, partners discussed the communication and dissemination strategy to raise awareness of our mission and objectives as well as the forthcoming open calls, for SMEs and startups.

But it wasn’t all business—participants enjoyed an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of TOFAS’s automotive production facilities, gaining invaluable insights into real-world applications. The assembly concluded with a memorable business dinner in Bursa, a historic city of Ottoman Empire heritage.

What to expect?

JARVIS is preparing for two rounds of Open Calls, with the first to kick off to in early 2025, inviting SMEs and start ups to join JARVIS. Keep an eye on our website for updates and subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed about the latest developments!
