Descripción del proyecto
Formar a investigadores noveles en tecnología de robots personalizada
El personal en el ámbito de la robótica está afrontando nuevos desafíos relativos a la necesidad de un comportamiento robótico con un alto nivel de personalización en lo que respecta a las preferencias y necesidades de cada usuario. El objetivo es tener un repositorio en la nube de comportamientos robóticos que permita un sencillo enfoque de configuración personalizado. Eso requiere investigar diferentes capacidades robóticas para entender y modelizar adecuadamente la interacción entre humanos y robots, así como para adaptar el comportamiento del robot al contexto. El proyecto PERSEO, financiado con fondos europeos, formará a investigadores noveles de los ámbitos de la informática, la filosofía y la psicología en cómo la tecnología robótica se puede personalizar a nivel social, cognitivo y físico. Eso ayudará a los investigadores noveles a comprender cómo abordar cuestiones éticas, jurídicas y sociales que surgen con la adopción de los robots personales.
Objetivo
The ETN on PErsonalized Robotics as SErvice Oriented applications - PERSEO - aims at training a new generation of research and professional figures able to face the research challenges of the market of personal robots. The personal robotics domain presents several research challenges mainly related to the need for a high degree of personalization of the robot behaviour with respect to the specific user’s needs and preferences. Companies need to build solutions rooted in a deeper analysis of humans’ specificities before developing products for people. At the same time, academia needs to nurture the development of an extended research community with a set of interdisciplinary skills to investigate different robot’s capabilities for understanding and modelling the interaction with human beings, for adapting the robot’s behaviour to the context, and software integration mechanisms that allow an easy personalized configuration approach to limit the static and costly customization processes of a novel robotic system. The PERSEO’s research program is organized into three Research Themes aimed at investigating personalization of robot capabilities at different levels of possible human-robot interaction, namely “Physical”, “Cognitive”, and “Social”. This requires a set of research skills ranging from computer science and AI to automation, ethics, and psychology. Fellows will deepen their knowledge in projects covering a specific research theme but, through training events, secondments, and peer collaborations will gain extensive knowledge in other areas so leading to a multidisciplinary research programme and the integration with other projects to achieve the proposed Integration Milestones. The project also aims at training Early Stage Researchers to address social, legal, and ethical issues that arise by the uptake of personal robots, as such skills are fundamental to achieve technological innovation which aligns with European social, ethical al legal values.
