The European EARASHI (Embodied AI/Robotics Applications for a Safe, Human-oriented Industry) project wrapped up in February 2026 after three and a half years, funded by Horizon Europe under grant agreement 101069994. Coordinated by the CEA, the consortium of 12 European partners—including the digital and deep-tech cluster Minalogic—set out to strengthen the continent’s AI and robotics ecosystem, particularly for human-centered industrial applications.

A core outcome was direct funding for 10 SME-led projects, each receiving €200,000 to develop innovative AI and robotics solutions with an eye toward experimentation, cross-border collaboration, and market readiness. This financial stream aimed to accelerate real-world deployment and interregional synergies.

As a partner, Minalogic took the lead on community-building activities. It produced a detailed stakeholder map capturing skills and complementary expertise across Europe’s AI and robotics landscape. It also organized and hosted workshops, networking sessions, and exchanges among industrial players, research labs, and institutional bodies. These efforts not only boosted visibility for European actors but also sparked fresh collaborative ventures.

The project’s focus on converging AI and robotics directly mirrors Minalogic’s own technology roadmap, which prioritizes resilient industrial systems that use real-time big data to improve human-machine interaction. EARASHI has reinforced the cluster’s European ties in embedded systems, deep tech, and smart industry, and opens additional avenues for its members to engage in transnational innovation.

Beyond EARASHI, Minalogic actively helps its members tap into European funding and build consortia for collaborative projects. The cluster’s experience in Horizon Europe and other strategic programs enables it to bridge industrial, academic, and institutional stakeholders, nurturing emerging value chains and keeping European AI and robotics at the forefront of safe, human-oriented industry.

The EARASHI* European project concluded in February 2026, following three and a half years of collaboration between 12 partners, including Minalogic. Focused on artificial intelligence and robotics, the project helped shape the European ecosystem, strengthen synergies between regions, and foster new opportunities for cooperation and innovation.

As part of its innovation support program, EARASHI has led to the funding of 10 projects led by European SMEs (article in French only), with each project receiving 200,000 euros. These projects have contributed to the development of innovative solutions in artificial intelligence and robotics for industrial applications, while promoting experimentation, European collaboration, and market access for the beneficiary companies.

As a project partner, Minalogic played a central role in community engagement activities aimed at bringing European communities together around AI and robotics technologies. This commitment notably resulted in the creation of a map of industry stakeholders, which helped identify the existing skills, expertise, and complementary strengths within the European ecosystem.

Minalogic also contributed to the project’s network expansion strategy by organizing and facilitating several dedicated events, including workshops, networking sessions, and exchanges among industry representatives, laboratories, and institutional stakeholders. These initiatives fostered the development of new collaborations and enhanced the visibility of European stakeholders in the sector.

AI and robotics: strategic fields for Minalogic

The convergence of artificial intelligence and robotics at the heart of EARASHI aligns perfectly with Minalogic’s technology roadmap. We aim to support our members in developing resilient industrial systems capable of leveraging big data in real time to optimize human-machine interaction.

Through its initiatives in community building, project support, and networking, Minalogic actively contributes to the development of innovative solutions integrating AI, robotics, embedded systems, and deep tech. The EARASHI project has thus strengthened the cluster’s European connections in these strategic areas and opened up new opportunities for collaboration within its ecosystem.

A European commitment to innovation

As a partner and coordinator of numerous European projects, such as EARASHI and other strategic European programs, the cluster helps strengthen cooperation among industrial, academic, and institutional stakeholders at the European level, while fostering the emergence of new technological value chains.

Beyond its direct participation in European projects, Minalogic also assists its members in identifying European funding opportunities and setting up collaborative projects. Thanks to its expertise in European programs and its network of international partners, the cluster supports companies and laboratories in forming consortia, finding partners, and developing innovative projects with a strong European dimension.

*About EARASHI

The EARASHI project (Embodied AI/Robotics Applications for a Safe, Human-oriented Industry) was funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe program, under grant agreement No. 101069994.

Coordinated by the CEA (The French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission), the consortium brought together 12 European partners from research, industry, clusters, and innovation support organizations, including Minalogic, to strengthen the European ecosystem around artificial intelligence, robotics, and human-centered technologies.
