Follow-up of Advanced Robotics Infoday
Date: March 7th, 2006
Place: Brussels
This meeting had the aim to disseminate the Call, provide a more in depth view of the needs related to robotics, and enable EU and non-EU potential partners to engage in networking activities.
Objectives of the call: The objective is to address some of the key challenges for the paradigm shift of robotic equipments in their evolution from a specific industrial technology to a broad enabler for a wide range of products and services that are entering the consumer, home and entertainment markets. The work will address the development of more intelligent, flexible, cost-effective, modular, safe, dependable, robust and user-driven robot systems. This will pave the way to the future massive introduction of robots in everyday human environments and their close cooperation with people.
As robots are moving out of the shop-floor, robot technologies should be able to couple further the world of information and communication with the world of physical interaction. This will make them the interface of choice for a new variety of services in the professional and private sector.
instruments STREP; CA ; SSA. Indicative budget: € 37 Mio

IST-EC2 attended this Infoday
The IST-EC2 Coordinator Sandrine Roche from GET in Paris attended this Infoday, she reports on the following feed-back from the EC:
- “robots should be moved outside the factory” means than the emphasis of the call will be on natural interfaces and on seamless physical interaction with human and objects around them.
- No application area is specified in the call, the focus will be on the impact on every days’ human environment
- User participation is strongly recommended but not compulsory
- No Virtual Robot!
For more information, please have a look at the presentation made by Keppa Karp, coordinator of the call: Robotics- Pekka-Karp.pdf
