Descrizione del progetto
Formare i ricercatori in fase iniziale di carriera sulla tecnologia dei robot personalizzati
Il campo della robotica personale sta sollevando nuove sfide riguardanti la necessità di un alto livello di personalizzazione del comportamento del robot rispetto alle esigenze e alle preferenze di ogni utente. L’obiettivo è disporre di un archivio dei comportamenti dei robot su cloud che consenta un facile approccio di configurazione personalizzato. Ciò richiede lo studio delle diverse capacità del robot per comprendere e modellare adeguatamente l’interazione uomo-robot e adattare il comportamento dello stesso al contesto. Il progetto PERSEO, finanziato dall’UE, formerà ricercatori in fase iniziale di carriera provenienti dai campi dell’informatica, della filosofia e della psicologia in merito a come poter personalizzare la tecnologia robotica a livello fisico, cognitivo e sociale. Ciò li aiuterà a capire come affrontare le questioni sociali, legali ed etiche che emergono con la diffusione di robot personali.
Obiettivo
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.
