The EUROBENCH benchmarking framework has been developed and validated with the help of 57 funded proposals
EUROBENCH has partnered with external entities, known as Third Parties, to develop and validate two benchmarking facilities and a unified benchmarking software for remote testing. This has been accomplished through a cascade funding action called FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO THIRD PARTIES (FSTP). As a result, the EUROBENCH team has organized two…
EUROBENCH Project results
The EUROBENCH team has created the first benchmarking framework for robotic systems in Europe. The framework allows companies and researchers to test the performance of their robots at any stage of development. Throughout these almost five years of the project , the EUROBENCH team has developed two benchmarking facilities and…
The EUROBENCH facilities at the Hospital Los Madroños (Madrid) are ready to test exoskeletons and prosthetics locomotion capabilities
Thanks to the EU-funded EUROBENCH Project, prosthetics and exoskeletons are currently being tested at the wearable robots facilities at the Hospital Los Madroños (HLM), in Madrid, and humanoid robots at the Italian Institute of Technology (ITT), in Genoa. At the Hospital Los Madroños, exoskeletons can be tested under several conditions,…
The EUROBENCH SUMMIT will host robotics and benchmarking experts involved in the EUROBENCH project
The EUROBENCH Summit will be held on 21 & 22 June in Hospital Los Madroños (Madrid) aiming at bringing together all the entities that have participated in the development of the project. Robotics and benchmarking experts will be giving talks about the testbeds and results achieved within the framework of…
The Eurobench platform, a unified benchmarking software for remote testing
The Eurobench platform is the central site where all benchmarking material is brought to the community. We can highlight two key pillars: the access to protocols, and the benchmark of experiments following these protocols. The different protocols gathered in Eurobench are available from the platform, which is a front-end to…
Boosting awareness of wearable robots throughout Europe with our Summer Webinar Series
The Summer Webinar Series organised by EUROBENCH and COST ACTION WEARABLE ROBOTS (CA16116) has finished being a success in terms of attendance and quality. Experts from different organizations have given lectures and then attended to the participants in a subsequent question-and-answer session. Wearable Robots are already integrated into everyday life,…

MADROB and BEaST
Why to participate in the FSTP-2 EUROBENCH open call?: “We are very happy for the great support and participation of the EUROBENCH team in making sure the outcome of each individual FSTP will integrate smoothly in the final EUROBENCH testing facilities”
BENCH
Why to participate in the FSTP-2 EUROBENCH open call?: “EUROBENCH is a great opportunity to access a unique facility, to test one’s hypotheses, and to join the EUROBENCH team in a still relatively early stage. This initiative will gain great momentum over time, and our Consortium is proud to have been given a chance to give our contribution to initiative”
EUROBENCH FSTP-2 Open Call First Cut-off date
There is budget left from the first cut-off date of our FSTP-2 Open Call for oncoming proposals to get funding to test and validate exoskeletons, prosthesis or humanoids at the first benchmarking framework for bipedal robotics in Europe. On the 15th of September the first cut off day for evaluation…
STEPbySTEP
Why to participate in the FSTP-2 EUROBENCH open call? “The great facility, the available software, and the support from the EUROBENCH team will be a great chance for you to increase the knowledge on your device, having feedbacks from its validation to improve/finalize it!”
The EUROBENCH benchmarking framework validation is closer
EUROBENCH FSTP-2 Open Call will Open in September the 1st and we will look for third parties which are developing exoskeletons, prostheses, humanoid robots, and other types of overground robots to test their technologies at the EUROBENCH facilities or from their own laboratory using the unified software. This framework is being built…
Workshop on the Pre Registration process of the FSTP-2
On May 26th we celebrated a workshop to inform and explain the Pre-registration process to benefit of a number of exclusive conditions for our FSTP-2 Open Call.
