We are happy to announce that the midterm review on the 12th of September 2022 was completed successfully. After a full integration week, where all the partner universities collaborated intensely to prepare for the demonstrations, we were very excited to present our progress to the three expert reviewers as well as to our EU project officer.

We would like to thank everyone who was involved in the demonstrations and the presentations, who helped in the planning and the hosting of the event. We also wish to thank the reviewers and the EU project officer for travelling all the way to Leuven or making time to meet us online.

The entire event was highly satisfactory for all participants. Taking the reviewers’ feedback into account, we are already working on the next steps in our research and eagerly look forward to the next integration weeks where we will combine our developments and progress further in building functionally accurate robots.
