In these presentations all the work packages (WP) were explained and discussed and in the end of this event the members decided which will be the next actions for the development of PILOTING.

PILOTING is a H2020 project which proposes the adaptation, integration, and demonstration of robotic solutions, in an integrated platform, which will be tested and evaluated in three large-scale pilots: refineries, bridges/viaducts and tunnels with the involvement of all the actors that conform the full value chain.
