The strict intent of this project is to enhance the flexibility of real robotic systems with very high dexterous manipulation capabilities. Therefore it is seen as absolutely essential to have a running prototype system at almost any stage of the project. The research foci of all work packages are oriented towards the ongoing progress of the integration of the real robotic systems.
