Next Figure 3‑5 shows the ESROCOS Consortium where ADS/DLR/VTT will act as end-users, DFKI plays a major role as robotics advisor and all other partners are the most important actors across Europe within its corresponding area of expertise.
Figure 3 5: ESROCOS Consortium.
Each partner of the consortium will play a specific role within the project, with well-established responsibilities and objectives. In the frame of the project, each consortium partner will collaborate focusing on their respective areas and technologies of expertise where they are European References. The result is a complete, consolidated and well-balanced consortium covering all market know-how; technological expertise and scientific knowledge required in order to efficiently develop the proposed project. In addition, the competence of the proposed consortium is supported by the technical and managerial capacity of the group; more specifically the highly qualified proposed key personnel that reflect the consortium commitment and motivation to this project. The following table depicts the roles in the project for each participant.
