Project description Cognitive Systems and RoboticsImprovement of cooperation between all robotics stakeholders and domains.euRobotics targets two main objectives: the improvement of cooperation between industry and academia and the enhancement of public perception of European robotics. In an ideal world, academia finds solutions required by industry to develop products which fulfil a market need. Both communities benefit from this cooperation because academia receives funds through technology transfers and industry can enhance their market position through innovative products. This project will give European robotics an advantage by kick-starting several of the stimulations required for this ideal world to be realised. The strategic impact of euRobotics lies in defining and implementing activities involving all relevant stakeholders and to thereby allowing European robotics to maintain its strong position and to gain worldwide leadership. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Over the last few years successful coordination activities have been undertaken within the academic and industrial roboticscommunities (EURON and EUROP), but both communities still struggle with overcoming some remaining gaps: thecommunity-internal gaps of confusion about terminology, suboptimally coordinated transfer of research visions, technologyand people, and the limited coordinated communication with both the general public and professional audiences. Thisincludes the popular science media, European Commission, national funding bodies, and representatives from neighbouringtechnology and market domains, such as cognitive science, mechatronics, automotive, aerospace, security, computer vision,embedded control systems.This projects ambition is to create sustainable solutions to all of the above-mentioned gaps, following a policy of targetedstimulation of relevant grass-roots initiatives that both communities have already experimented with during the last couple ofyears, but that have previously seen little success because of a lack of committed, professional and coordinated support. Thedriver behind these stimulations will always be the robotics industry (since its needs for innovation and strong positioning inthe worldwide robotics market are greatest), but the academic research community will be heavily involved via a system offlexible, targeted expert contributions whose short-term benefits are easy to identify and communicate.The following activities are planned: improved industry-academia cooperation by giving more structure to commonlyorganised events (administration, annual meetings, web portal on Robotics in Europe, advanced training, roadmapping,and entrepreneurship advocacy) and by coordinated communication to the general public (press releases, visibility at majorrobotics events worldwide, robotics competitions related to the shared research and development roadmap, laymansexplanation of robotics technology in combination with semantic search support on the web portal).
