- The novelty of 2020 for CMS is to apply the experience acquired in industrial automation to the field of collaborative robots (cobots). This initiative stems from an invitation made to CMS to collaborate on a patent for a new type of robot and then from the interest that the patent has received from European partners, with the result that CMS is part of a team that has submitted a proposal for research, regarding a cobot for assistance to elderly people, to the call H2020 “ICT-47- 2020: Research and Innovation boosting promising robotics applications”. CMS also intends to operate in this sector of mechatronics which has great development opportunities and is open to other new collaborations.
