Beyond Robotics New European research initiative Pekka Karp Future and Emerging Technologies DG Information Society Scope & objectives Incorporation of IT into embodied artifacts Three long-term objectives – Cognitive robots – Hybrid bionic systems – Autonomous microrobot groups (‘cognitive companions‘) (‘human augmentation’) (‘robot ecologies’) Scope & objectives Cognitive companions – “Purpose of life”: to serve humans as assistants or ‘companions’ – active and non-predetermined learning of new skills and tasks in the context of embodied systems and beyond fixed domains and environments – evolving perception and reasoning capabilities over years of use – to live and grow in constant interaction and co-operation with humans – to adapt to, to complement and to compensate the master’s skills Scope & objectives Human augmentation – augmenting human capabilities in perception of the environment, motion, interaction with other humans, etc., including new perception-action capabilities going beyond the current physical limitations – smooth integration of robotic and information systems with human perception-action systems using bi-directional interfaces with the human nervous system – flexibility in terms of physical interaction and skill and task adaptation – capability to function as a regular part of the human body – tight coupling between the human and the artifact (e.g. intelligent prosthetics such as artificial sensory organs, limbs) – not in scope: artificial organs outside the conscious control (artificial pancreas, kidneys, liver, etc. Scope & objectives Robot ecologies – autonomous microrobot groups – many heterogeneous members exhibiting collective behaviour and intelligence – able to self-organise, adapt, co-operate and evolve in real-world unstructured environments in order to attain a global objective – parallel systems in terms of perception, reasoning and action generation – related to the Complex Systems Research initiative Implementation Advisory Board European Commission Reviewing Experts Stakeholders Instruments National programmes IP-2 IP-1 NoE IP-3 Complementary (?) IPs Instruments & Budgets (1) Integrated Projects EXAMPLE: • Common core Task-2 – System issues (architectures, integration, evaluation) Task-1 Task-3 Core Task-n Task-4 ... • Tasks – Study what underlies the collective behaviour in animals (birds, bees, wolves, fish,…) – Design – Build – ... Additional Issues IP Indicative Budget & Duration • Links to national initiatives • EC funding: 5 - 8 m EUR • International co-operation • Duration: 4 - 5 years Instruments & Budgets (2) Networks of Excellence - Strategy development - Shared experimental facilities - Joint research projects, e. g. exploratory R&D projects - Exchange of researchers & sites for hosting excellence Additional Issues • International Co-operation Indicative Budget & Duration - Training of researchers • EC funding: 3 - 5 m EUR - Dissemination of results • Duration: 4 - 5 years
