2- For our organization in France, it means the obligation and responsibility to establish robotics integration as an industry within the French landscape, to ensure that our country excels in the field at European level.
WHAT DOES THE DIH BRING TO THE MEMBERS OF OUR NETWORK?
1- Access to the European market, and to the entire structure, with a focus on robotics issues.
2- The ability to acquire resources that will be made available to players in the various national clusters.

METRICS PROJECT, EVALUATE IN ORDER TO NORMALIZE
A competition programm
PROXINNOV is one of the winners of METRICS, H2020 European project.
Competitions aim at making metrological evaluations, that are strict and objective. Results are fundamental for conception, production, deployment and evolution of robotic systems.
Through METRICS project, PROXINNOV will enable manufacturers to have normalized measure methods, as well as evaluation results of robotic solutions, according to their degree of adequacy with uses.
Criteria are both technological and economical. Moreover, legal, ethic and social aspects are integrated in evaluations, in order to maximize relevant results for different markets.
At last, in order to secure comparative studies, PROXINNOV and its partners will put forward innovation actors’ know-how.
