GreenBotAI- Frugal and Adaptive AI for Flexible Industrial Robotics
A Franco-German collaboration focuses on developing industrial robotics with sustainable AI solutions and strengthening supply chain resilience. The GreenBotAI project is one of five initiatives selected under the “Franco-German Innovation Projects on Artificial Intelligence Technologies for Risk Prevention, Crisis Management, and Resilience,” jointly supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) and the French Ministère de l’Économie, des Finances et de la Souveraineté industrielle et numérique. The goal of these funded projects is to enhance crisis resilience using AI, develop sustainable solutions, detect potential epidemics early, and make industries more robust against supply chain disruptions. This collaboration is rooted in the Aachen Treaty (2019), which committed Germany and France to intensify their cooperation in artificial intelligence. In February 2021, the two countries issued a joint funding call for research and development projects, and the five winning initiatives are now being supported with a total funding of €17.9 million.
