About Partnership
Discover what it means to be a partner of ICHR — the Interdisciplinary Centre for Humanoid Robotics at CIIRC CTU.
Why Partner with Us?
The Interdisciplinary Centre for Humanoid Robotics (ICHR) at CIIRC CTU is a unique platform at the intersection of cutting-edge research and real-world application. As a partner, you gain privileged access to one of the most dynamic communities in advanced robotics in Central Europe.
What Partnership Means
Partnership with ICHR is more than a logo on a webpage. It is an active collaboration built on shared goals: advancing responsible, safe, and societally beneficial robotics. We work with partners from industry, the public sector, and academia to co-create knowledge, test ideas, and shape the future of humanoid robotics in the Czech Republic and beyond.
Benefits of Partnership
Access to Expertise
Partners gain direct access to ICHR's interdisciplinary network of researchers across robotics, AI, cyber-security, interaction design, ergonomics, law, ethics, and social sciences. This breadth of expertise is unmatched in the region.
Joint Research & Development
We actively seek co-development opportunities — from early-stage research to applied projects. Partners can co-fund focused studies, participate in working groups, or commission technical evaluations relevant to their field.
Events & Visibility
Partners are featured at ICHR events — conferences, workshops, and public demonstrations — as well as in our publications and online presence. This positions your organisation at the forefront of the humanoid robotics conversation.
Education & Talent Pipeline
Through our connection to CTU, partners benefit from early access to the next generation of robotics engineers, scientists, and policy-thinkers. We facilitate internships, thesis collaborations, and talent recruitment.
Policy & Standards Input
ICHR actively engages with regulatory and standards development around autonomous systems and humanoid robots. As a partner, your voice is part of that conversation at both national and European levels.
