PART B: VALORISATION PLAN
SECTION I: Testing
|
1 |
Has the R & D result been tested? | |
|
YES |
||
|
NO |
X | |
The following question is replied according to the reply in question 1
If yes
|
1a |
In what mode has the result been tested?• Prototype
• Pilot Application • Alpha/BETA testing
|
|
|
|
||
| 1b. | Please describe and discuss the testing results | |
If no:
|
1c |
Describe what type of testing does the R&D result need? | |
| The R&D result needs to fully developed both in its software and hardware components. Currently some laboratory tests have been performed on relevant algorithms but a full scale experimentation with a real prototype is still needed.
|
||
| 1d. | What is the time needed for testing? | |
| Given the tight hardware and software coupling required, at least two-three years for implementation and testing are required. | ||
| 1e. | What is the cost needed for testing? | |
| Personnel costs and hardware costs for product development and testing can be estimated around 300-400K€ | ||
SECTION 2: Current Stage of Development
|
2a |
To what extent does the development team have technical resources for supporting the production of a new product? (Researchers, human resources, hardware, etc. ) |
| At least one software developer and a robotics engineer are required to carry on development and experimentation of the prototype.
|
|
|
2b |
What are the technical issues that need to be tackled for full deployment, if needed? |
| The feasibility of the idea has to be demonstrated by a prototype which still needs to be developed.
|
|
|
2c |
What additional technical resources are needed for the production of this new product? |
| Technical support from the robotic arm provided will be needed. | |
|
2d |
Overall assessment of the current stage of technical development. |
| The idea hinges on several algorithms and techniques that have been designed in a laboratory environment. Coupling with a real robotic arm and real experimentation with a prototype in real conditions are still to be done.
