HISTORY

    The EUROBOT initiative was born in 1997 when a groupe of European researchers wondered of the possibilities to do research in the new testbed.  The very interdisciplinary subject implies to join efforts from all countries of the European Union and related countries to participate in high standards in this project. 
 
    We hope in Paris '98 in July 1998 consolidate the co-operation of the European Researchers.
