The JARVIS project, as an Innovation Action, aspires to bring together a team of “Best in Class” experts that can combine all the aforementioned technological enablers to:
“develop a reusable set of tools that enable AI driven multimodal means of interaction: a) involving interfaces for physical and remote information exchange, robot control and programming, b) providing social skills to a variety of robots to achieve seamless user-centric interaction that extends human ability for complex tasks and c) demonstrating scalability of application and ability to achieve economies at scale.”
The proposed technologies will be tested for flexibility, scalability, trustworthiness and user acceptance in four use cases, aiming to demonstrate production line and cross sector applicability: Pillar 1 - Agile Manufacturing: a) Aeronautics production (COLLINS-BE), b) Automotive production (TOFAS) ii) Pillar 2 - Inspection and Maintenance (I&M): c) Energy – Nuclear plants decommissioning (EDF), d) Energy – offshore energy production (EQUINOR).
The workplan of JARVIS has as a target to comply with the following 6 objectives:
Objective O1: Development of AI enhanced means of interaction for seamless human-robot communication, control and programming
Objective O2: Development of socially interactive robots
Objective O3: Security, privacy and safety towards trustworthy AI
Objective O4: Development of cognitive and intelligent mechatronics for advanced HRI, dynamic scene modeling and understanding
Objective O5: Application of HRI in large scale pilots
Objective O6: Boosting companies, in particular SMEs and start-ups, to adopt industrial HRI solutions
