1 Shaping the future Robots Leaving the Production Halls Opportunities and Challenges Prof. Dr. Roland Siegwart APAC INNOVATION SUMMIT 17 Hong Kong Science Park Science, June 5, 2017 Roland Siegwart

2 Technologies disrupting services digitalization / industry Personal Computer Internet information sharing Smart Phones permanent connectivity IoT / Cyber-Physical Systems / Robots Data World is connecting with physically exponential increase of complexity Roland Siegwart

3 Robotics today Industrial Robots (Changan-Ford China ) Roland Siegwart industrial robots sold in in China

4 Robotics tomorrow Service Robots outside the production halls Roland Siegwart SpotMini electic quadruped, Boston Dynamics

5 Service Robots Key Challenges Robots that can dealing with uncertain and partially available information Robots that see, feel and understand their environment Robots with torque and force control for tactile interaction ( soft robots ) 50x speed Robots with intuitive human-machine interfaces Robots that learn and adapt every day Roland Siegwart

6 @ ETH Institute of Robotics and Intelligent Systems Prof. Dr. Roland Siegwart Mission and Dedication To create intelligent robots and systems that operate autonomously in complex and dynamic environments. Research Focus Body Design Brain Navigation Novel robot concepts that are best adapted for ground, air, or water based applications. New algorithms for perception, localization, abstraction, mapping, and path planning that will enable autonomous operation in challenging environments. Roland Siegwart
