1 FET FLAGSHIPS Preparatory Actions Proposal "RoboCom: Robot Companions for Citizens"

2 RoboCom Proposal Main Concept Abilities that robots haven t reached yet Lessons from Nature: simplifying principles for a complex world

3 WHAT MAKES IT A FLAGSHIP S&T fundamental research New principles Robot abilities Applications and economic growth in Europe Unifying goal, Grand S&T challenge and Vision to progress robot abilities to understand the strategies that make living beings effective and efficient and the simplifying principles that allow them to cope with a complex world filling the gap of robot abilities would break the thin barrier that still keeps robotics apart from its huge potential for application and its related impact on economy and citizens quality of life Grand Challenge and main game-changer concept The envisaged progress of robotics will have a game-changing impact because it will enable scenarios for robot applications that are not possible today. Goals and Objectives, new technologies (including digital technologies) Science: new principles for robot abilities, based on a bioinspired approach and simplifying principles for a complex world, like simplexity, embodied intelligence, morphological computation, smart and self-healing materials, learning-based behaviours, neuromorphic control, and more; Technology: using new principles for new devices and systems, new materials and fabrication techniques for robot bodyware, new sensing and actuation, new energy forms, new cognitive capabilities, new forms of interaction with people, new ways for operating in a connected world; Society: a new generation of robots that increases the quality of life of citizens, a sustainable model for robotics, responding to the ethical questions and going beyond the concerns about robots & jobs; Economy: developing technologies and systems and enabling applications of robots that promote economic growth, by the growth of European industry and access to markets like the domestic one.

4 PREPARATORY ACTIONS IMPACT Science & Technology EU at the forefront with other regions of the world EU Publications in robotics top countries Publications in robotics top EU countries "Robotics" in Title, Abstract, Keywords, Scopus, Nov. 17, 2017 "Robotics" in Title, Abstract, Keywords, Scopus, Nov. 17, 2017

5 PREPARATORY ACTIONS IMPACT Economy & Society EU Industry and innovation potential 1.4 million industrial robots will be installed in the factories to increase productivity 333,000 service robots for professional use will be sold to nonmanufacturing and to manufacturing sectors 42 million service robots for personal and domestic use (consumer robots) will be used in our private life

6 Integration & EU added Value large-scale integration across disciplines: Robotics, biology, materials science, AI, neuroscience, ICT Large communities, already in contact critical mass & involvement of academia, industry and society at large Scientific communities (1000+ scientists involved), strong European companies, huge mass communication topic estimated effort scale and how long will it take to do so Ten-year perspective, for transforming science in technology Relevant Transnational, National & Regional ongoing initiative EU: SPARC, eurobotics, HBP FET-Flagship, eucog, ESNAM, Terrinet, RoboCom++, RoboSoft Associate: Swiss NCCR Robotics International: IEEE-RAS, AAAS, Harvard Wyss Institute (soft robotics), Soft Robotics Research Centre of Korea FET CA (Flagship Pilot) FET-Flagship proposal Flag-ERA project

7 RoboCom++ Project: Rethinking Robotics for the Robot Companion of the Future RoboCom++ is gathering the community and organisign the knowledge necessary to rethink the design principles and fabrication technologies of future robots. RoboCom++ aims at developing the Robot Companions of the year 2030, by fostering a deeply multidisciplinary, transnational and federated effort. RoboCom++ pursues a radically new design paradigm, grounded in the scientific studies of intelligence in nature. Simplification mechanisms will be based on the concepts of embodied intelligence, morphological computation, simplexity, and evolutionary and developmental approaches. Initiative details: FLAG-ERA JTC 2016 Project Coordinator: Partners: Paolo Dario, The BioRobotics Institute (Scuola Superiore Sant Anna) 24 partners (13 funded; 11 in-kind) Start of the Project: 01/03/2017 End of the Project: 29/02/2020 Funding: ,05 Cost: ,90 THREE MAIN LINES OF ACTION to pursue the ambitious objectives of RoboCom++: Building an interdisciplinary community. RoboCom++ will involve a wider community of roboticists and non-roboticists, including material scientists, mathematicians, AI experts, biologists, physicists, neuroscientists, economists, sociologists, philosophers and others. Defining the long-term S&T roadmap, competitiveness strategy, governing and financing structure, and the ethical, legal, economic and social framework of a future FET Flagship like initiative on Robotics Targeting five exploratory pilots: Computational Foundations of Actions; Morphological Computation and Soft Robotics; Soft Technologies for Wearable and Mobile Robots; Bio-Inspired Self-Healing Materials; Biomimetic Cognitive Architecture for Human-Robot interaction. SEVEN Working Groups are active in the RoboCom++ Community: Embodied Intelligence in Natural and Artificial Physical Agents Soft Robotics and Bodyware Energy Management in Natural and Artificial Agents Embodied Cooperative and Communication Processes Impact on Robotic System Technologies Ethical, Legal, Societal and Economical Issues Science Platform Tools The WGs are the building blocks of the RoboCom++ Project The activities of the WG will be important to define the roadmap for the future FET-Flagships. Their contribution will be fundamental for the definition of the objectives, the identification of the most important topics and of the priorities to include in the flagship proposal. The roadmapping activity will be carried out in collaboration with the responsible partner of the RoboCom++ exploratory research Pilots.

8 Stakeholders to engage RoboCom++ consortium Flag-ERA partners, supporting RoboCom++: 39 funding agencies from 26 countries in Europe and beyond Local administrations: Regione Toscana and other participants regions European companies collaborating with the BioRobotics Institute and with other participants, which declared support to RoboCom FET-Flagship proposal and/or to RoboCom++ 30 coordinators of relevant projects (ERC and others), sending endorsement letters for RoboCom++
