Last week, the HARTU consortium gathered for the 4th General Assembly, hosted by our partner PCL in Drachten, Netherlands. It was a pleasure to see again all the partners in person, providing a valuable opportunity to review the progress of ongoing tasks and plan the work for the final year of the project.

What made the meeting even more impactful was the chance to collaborate face-to-face during focused discussions and hands-on workshops. Over the course of two intense days, we organised 10 workshops covering a wide range of project aspects, including:

• Perception
• Human roles and skills development
• Use of sensory data from grippers and fingers
• Application development and control
• And much more.

Despite the tight schedule, the workshops allowed us to dive deep into these critical topics, ensuring that every element of the project received the attention it deserved.

To wrap up the event, we were treated to a tour of PCL’s laboratories. This visit provided an opportunity to witness live demonstrations of cutting-edge technologies and research areas that are integral to the HARTU project.

This General Assembly was a proof of the power of collaboration and the shared commitment of all partners to advance the project. As we move into the final stretch, we are energised and ready to tackle the challenges ahead.
