Advanced robotic systems in future collaborative working environments
The objective of this STREP is to research integrative concepts of advanced robotic systems to be seen as collaborative agents in various environments working together with humans by design suitable architectures and technologies to achieve this goal.
The main objective of this STREP is to research and demonstrate integrative concepts of advanced robotic systems, to be seen as collaborative agents, in various environments working together with humans. We will integrate collaborative robotic systems as active agent operated through various control paradigms within working environment clusters. ROBOT@CWE will design suitable architectures and technologies to achieve this goal. Current developments in robotics tend toward human-centred design raising issues in:
human-machine interface, human-robot interaction, working robots, assistive robots, ubiquitous robotics,humanitarian robotics for disaster support and rescue mission, European security, etc.
We will propose evolution strategies toward ?collaborative-working-centred? design of robotic systems and ?IST robotics? concepts on the basis of sound collaborative practices, new technologies such as virtualized mixed environments, multimedia communication, ubiquitous environments, teleworking schemes, etc. This project
will propose objectives that will enable the take up and use of robotics to increase in existing areas and enter new areas where robotics can support human endeavours. Hence, one of the aims of this STREP is to redefine the whole notion of robotic ?work? as agent contributions including advanced robotic systems through different collaborative schemes.
The consortium of the project is formed by:
- CNRS (F) - coordinator
- University Carlos III of Madrid (E)
- Technical University of Munich (D)
- University of Salzburg (A)
- EPFL (CH)
- Dragados (E)
- Hewlett Packard (I)
- Space Applications Services (B)
- AIST (J)
