Today, I see the ERC Starting Grant as providing recognition for the work carried out collectively by the Willow joint project team on this theme, because robotics is not a subject for solitary study, but rather the fruit of genuine team-based reflection. This initial recognition of our collective success will also serve as a catalyst: the research made possible by the ERC will enable us to become a high-profile, and even a pivotal player in free and open software for the robotics of tomorrow.”
