F. Stulp: Collaboration: with Olivier Sigaud of the Institut des Systèmes Intelligents (ISIR) et de Robotique of Université Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC) [37] .

F. Stulp: Collaboration: with Xavier Lamy of Laboratoire d'Intégration de Systèmes et des Technologies of the Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA-LIST) and Pedro Rodriguez-Ayerbe and Sami Tliba of Supélec [57] , [58] . Funded by Digiteo, project “PrActIx”.

PY Oudeyer and M Lopes collaborated with Aymar de Rugy, Daniel Cattaert and Florent Paclet (INCIA, CNRS/Univ. Bordeaux) about the design of myoelectric robotic prostheses based on the Poppy platform, and on the design of algorithms for co-adaptation learning between the human user and the prosthesis. This was funded by a PEPS CNRS grant.

A collaboration with the national InMediats project was organized around the Poppy project. InMediats is a national project gathering 6 science museums (Bordeaux, Rennes, Grenoble, Caen, Toulouse, Paris) that aims at setting large popular science actions allowing the general public to access the latest research and development http://inmediats.fr/le-programme/ . In this context, the collaboration with the Flowers team consisted in setting up a network of educational activities around robotics and the use of the Poppy platform in the six towns, with the target to foster the discovery of robotics technologies and their societal dimensions: http://inmediats.fr/poppy-lhistoire-dune-collaboration-inter-centre/ . In this context several successful workshops with the general public were organized.
