The EU has funded a U.S. $ 2.16 million project called Phriends ( "Physical Human-Robot Interaction: Dependability and Safety"). The technology being developed in this project will be used both for the development of industrial robots to help people (physical, sport, attendance, ...). Phriends is the goal of creating a new generation of robots that are safe and versatile for interacting with humans.The project coordinator Antonio Bicchi commented "we are still far from what we see in science fiction films, most robots today can only operate safely in various environments of humans. [...] The traditional approach of robotics is to design and build robots with a specific task in mind. Phriends developed robots will be safe because the security is guaranteed by its own physical structure and not by external sensors or algorithms that can fail. "
