Welcome to Hybrid Production Systems cluster
-HPS-
HPS is coming to ERF 2024!

For 11th time HPS will be part of the European Robotics Forum (ERF). This year, HPS will participate in the ERF2024 in Rimini, Italy with 2 workshops! Our workshops will feature a series of targeted presentations on the following topics:
We’re committed to making our workshops an interactive experience promoting open dialogue between our presenters and the audience on key advancements and challenges. So, we are looking forward to meeting you at our workshops during the ERF, discussing new ideas and broadening our horizons in the context of HRC!

VISION
Efficient and Sustainable manufacturing through Hybrid Production

MISSION
Definition of roadmap for Hybrid Production Systems

PARTICIPANTS
Over 31 innovative FP7, H2020 and Horizon Europe funded projects

Who we are
Hybrid Productions System (HPS) cluster consists of over 40 EU-funded projects (FP7, H2020, Horizon Europe) dealing with hybrid production. It promotes knowledge and experience sharing, aiming to define the roadmap for Hybrid Production Systems.
Thematic areas
Each year, under the HPS activities, we bring to the spotlight various thematic areas dealing with hybrid production. In 2023 the thematic areas of interest, as presented during the 10th HPS Workshop in ERF 2023, are the following:
- Intelligent work piece handling
- Handling systems for flexible materials
- AI for Human-Robot Collaboration
- Seamless Human-Robot Collaboration


Activities
Cluster activities involve a number of community workshops, common newsletters, press releases and white papers, aiming to define the roadmap for Hybrid Production Systems.
“We need to keep human in the loop, we cannot isolate her/him.”
