Anotation
Teaching robots to exchange knowledge with other robots
The world of robotics is destined to become remarkable. Robots are entering a large number of sectors – from collaborative robots (cobots) working alongside human workers to medical robots. To support us in our daily life, robots are entering unstructured environments which require that the exchange of skills and software with other robots. In this context, the EU-funded euROBIN will propose a strategy for a European ecosystem of robots that share their data and knowledge and jointly learn to perform an endless variety of tasks in human environments. The project will bring together leading experts from the European robotics and AI research community to share their algorithms and data.
Objectives
Cognition-enabled transferable embodied AI is the main goal of the euROBIN research agenda and the network of excellence that emerges from it. Scientifically, euROBIN will take a new and integrated perspective in designing the future ecosystem of heterogeneous intelligent machines interacting with humans. Therefore, euROBIN will substantially advance four core scientific topics:
- InterAct
- Learning transfer
- Transferable knowledge
- Human-center transfer
