IntelliMan at the ERF 2026

IntelliMan is joining the European Robotics Forum 2026 (ERF2026), taking place from 23 to 27 March 2026 in Stavanger, Norway, together with the sister projects MOZART and PILLAR-Robots.

ERF is the leading annual event for the European robotics and AI community, bringing together researchers, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and policy makers. This year’s edition revolves around the theme “Robotics for the Blue Economy and Growth in Space” a great opportunity to explore how robotics innovation can drive sustainable development across sectors.

IntelliMan will feature an exhibition booth at stand 77, presenting alongside its sister projects a shared vision for the future of intelligent robotic manipulation.

ERF2026 will be an occasion to share our latest results, connect with the wider robotics community, and explore new synergies.

Location: Stavanger, Norway

Organizer: European Robotics Forum (ERF)

Sweat is one of the most underestimated “biosignals”. Not because it’s hard to measure in a lab, but because it’s hard to measure continuously, with good time resolution, on real skin.

Telehealth doesn’t need “more wearables”. It needs wearables we can trust: stable on skin, accurate under motion, and meaningful enough to trigger action.

Wearables don’t fail because they can’t measure. They fail because they don’t close the loop.

More surgery isn’t always the answer. Sometimes you just need a cleaner signal.

Sensory feedback is not a “nice-to-have”. If it doesn’t stay on the skin, it doesn’t exist.

The future of wearables won’t be “more sensors”. It will be closed-loop: sensing + meaningful feedback… on real skin.

Most wearable haptics still fail on the same two constraints: weight and believable force.

Restoring movement is only half the story. Without sensation, even the most advanced robotic hand can still feel “outside” the body.

Touch is not just a sense; it is a continuous negotiation between skin, muscles, and the world around us.

Can artificial skin learn to recognize textures the way human skin does, and even speak the language of nerves?
