PEPR Accélération Robotique (2025-2033)

This national initiative brings together major French robotics laboratories. Its objective is to support academic research at low TRL levels (1–3) to establish the foundations of high-performance, frugal, and responsible robotics capable of accompanying societal and industrial transformations. The program integrates energy and environmental challenges while seeking to improve the productivity and sustainability of human activities. Three scientific themes are emphasized: perception and adaptation; mobility and control; and frugality. DEFROST contributes through the targeted project “Dexterous Robotic Manipulation for Industry.”
