TERRINet stands for the European robotics research infrastructure and aims to train a new generation of robotic researchers to develop future robots. The partners offer researchers, entrepreneurs, students and industrial partners high quality infrastructures, robotic platforms, excellent research services and training opportunities to support research and innovation in robotics.

In addition to providing access to high-quality infrastructures and services, TERRINet serves as a multidisciplinary, transnational environment that facilitates cross-fertilization of ideas and the exchange of excellent scientific research. Access to infrastructures, platforms, resources and ideas enables TERRINet to establish test beds and evaluation facilities for innovation and to promote technology transfer in Europe.

Within the framework of TERRINet, KIT provides access to robotics infrastructure to conduct research in the fields of humanoid robotics and attractable robotics. This includes topics such as advanced regulation and control, image- and haptic-based gripping, mobile packaging, learning from human observation and experience, and context-sensitive control of prostheses and orthoses.
