The ERL will pit a host of international teams against each other in three vibrant fields of robotics: industrial, service and emergency robotics. Competitors will engage in local matches and major tournaments distributed across Europe and organised by Europe’s most prestigious research institutes. “The European Robotics League will spur innovation and entrepreneurship and both maintain and extend European leadership in robotics”, says Dr. Rainer Bischoff, Vice-President Industry of euRobotics aisbl and Head of Corporate Research at KUKA. “It is a unique opportunity to break down real-world challenges into a competition format, similar to the UEFA Champions League in football, which is exciting for robotics scientists, the robotics industry and the general public alike.” Dr Anne Bajart, Programme Officer, DG CONNECT – Robotics, European Commission – adds: “The EU has been funding research in robotics since 2004, helping Europe to become a world leader in this field. Amongst those projects and initiatives, competition and benchmarking are recognised as key leading to Europe's excellence and competitiveness. Those efforts are now cumulating in the launch of the European Robotics League.”</span><span lang="EN-GB" class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span lang="EN-GB" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><b class=""><span lang="EN-GB" class="">Competitions and benchmarking in three industrially and socially relevant fields</span></b><span lang="EN-GB" class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span lang="EN-GB" class="">The European Robotics League is a common framework for three competitions in the fields of Industrial Robots (ERL-IR), Service Robots (ERL-SR) and Emergency Robots (ERL-ER).
