Project Summary

Robots – especially humanoid robots – are and will be used in future as service robots, guides, companions and many more applications. The demand for intelligent humanoid robots is exploding.
These robots will play an increasing role in our society and therefore in industry as well.
In order to take part in the international competition in industry with success, there is a demand of qualified and international experienced skilled workers in the industries of the EU, all member countries, all regions and especially in all firms. A better competition can be achieved through an increase of productivity and quality at less costs with automised processes. This can easily be done with computer-based methods of production like mechanical engineering, electronics and information technology. Besides the technical qualifications the so called „soft“ factors are getting more important. These „soft“ factors are for example language-skills and social, methodical and personal competences. This project is interdisciplinary and is covering all the before mentioned requirements.

The project actively brings together students from very different parts of Europe and encourages communication in all project languages. We will also include students with low study skills in our project.

Our project will achieve the following results:
* Every partner will plan and build at least one humanoid robot according to their own results of their field studies. Our french partner is responsible for technical expertise and overall coordination and knowledge transfer.
In our project consortium we try to build robots of different types. Each partner will find his proper type of robot and we will help each other in order to exchange good practices.
* ready to use, well prepared school lessons in the field of robotics. This will attract eduction instituions all over the world to enter the robotic domain. Especially in areas with low or no budget challenges – inside or outside of Europe – this is a unique chance to improve ICT and robotic skills of students.
* multilingual participant presentations with detailed Information about the participating countries/schools including general information, school system, history, music and arts, social life, etc. We will also produce a dictionary in all four Project languages of the 100 most useful words for this project.
* run a project website, using e-Twinning: The Austrian coordinator, Anton Edl, already coordinated 4 Erasmus+ projects successfully. He will set up and maintain this website for the public as well as for the project participants.
* concept of encouraging students with low study skills
The project will be available for students with learning disabilities and/or social and emotional problems. Students who have never been abroad because of a migration background or lower income will be able to be important project members. Integration of students with special needs is something every school does, but inclusion has to be the new way of working together.

Our objectives support our selected priorities:
Especially students with low study skills are in danger of leaving School (too) early. Our Concept will help us to better support these special students in future.
Using modern ICT-Tools in a multinational project in a real environment is the best way to really understand the meaning and use of innovative practices in a digital era.
All project participants will be suported to learn basic skills during the project. From technical to social, even language skills will be aquiring and developed.
