Project description
AI-augmented engineering for smart robotics software
The rise of AI in robotics presents new challenges, including complex operations and safety concerns, underscoring the need for advanced engineering tools and methods for intelligent robots. The European Commission’s Digital Strategy emphasises software’s critical role in driving digital transformation and sustainable growth. With this in mind, the EU-funded ASTIR project will develop an AI-augmented engineering workbench for smart robotics software. This workbench will support all phases of the software lifecycle, from requirements engineering to system maintenance, seamlessly integrating with current engineering practices. By leveraging trustworthy generative AI, the project seeks to enhance collaboration and productivity. ASTIR will validate its technological solutions through three innovative, open-access use cases targeting key robotics markets: service, manufacturing and drones.
Objective
In today's Europe, software is pivotal for societal progress, deeply ingrained in our lives, and essential for the EU's competitiveness. The European Commission's Digital Strategy positions software at the heart of digital transformation, targeting a sustainable economy and broad digital tech benefits. This era underlines software engineering's crucial role in creating functional, reliable, and efficient software systems. The advent of AI, especially in robotics, poses new challenges, demanding a rethink of traditional software engineering.
The engineering of robotics faces ongoing issues such as complex operational states, environmental unpredictabilities, and critical safety needs. These are amplified by the diversity in robots, use cases, AI technologies, and development settings, calling for a significant evolution in robotics software engineering. The rise of intelligent robots, with their ability to learn, adapt, and make independent decisions, highlights the need for improved engineering tools and methods.
ASTIR aims to address these challenges by developing an AI-augmented engineering workbench for intelligent robotics software, supporting all lifecycle phases from requirements engineering to system maintenance. This workbench, leveraging trustworthy generative AI, aims to integrate with current engineering practices, enhancing collaboration and productivity.
ASTIR will validate the technological offering in 3 novel and open-access use cases targeting diverse robotics markets, namely service robotics, manufacturing robotics, and drones.
