The FORTIS project is set to launch two rounds of Open Calls, with a total budget of around 5 million euros. The project invites SMEs and startups, including robotic developers, technology providers, and robotic end-users, among others, to propose new solutions for HRI (human-robot interaction) that incorporate multi-modality in terms of human-robot communication, as well as multi-aspect in terms of human-robot non-physical interaction.
