PROTEUS and the Robotic community --------------------------------- **PROTEUS** being a French Project was backed up and is directed towards the Robotic community as represented by its associated :term:`GDR Robotique`\ . In this scope one of its study group (`David Andreu `_ from :term:`LIRMM` and `Cyril Novales `_ from :term:`PRISME`\ , Cyril Novales is participating to the project) is doing the link between the project and the French community. Contacts were taken with the European Robotic community through the :term:`EUROP / EURON` group and more specifically discussions exists between PROTEUS project and `Herman Bruynincks `_ in order to correlate work doen on modelling tools in Europe and in PROTEUS. This action should lead at some point to an European initiative towards promotion of a standardised modelling language and its associated tooling.
