site.btaCobots to Solve Qualified Workforce Shortage

Acute shortage of qualified workforce seems to be solvable. The new 'colleagues' are cobots and so far they are mainly in manufacturing and construction thanks to the Value Of Joint EXperimentation in Digital Technologies for Manufacturing and Construction (VOJEXT) project, which is implemented under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. A total of 19 partner organisations from 11 countries, including Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, Italy, Spain, France and Turkiye, are working on the project to deploy mobile collaborative robots (the so-called cobots).
