Robotics and autonomous systems

The contributions will make significant impact for the description of the robotics requirements on an industrial intralogistics scenario, where robots and humans operate. This will impact robot communication services that will use 6G. Moreover, the fellowship strongly focuses on ontologies, to achieve a better interoperability of concepts to enhance robot to robot and robot to humans’ communications. The use of the standardizes DOLCE upper ontology makes a significant difference. Also, EU have within its borders numerous renowned robotics companies. An increasing number of cutting-edge robotics and autonomous systems now rely on AI-driven reasoning to handle their growing complexity. Today, global regulations are shaping how knowledge is represented for robotics services and tasks, and EU SMEs must comply with these standards. As a result, these knowledge representation standards will significantly influence the development of future robotic and autonomous systems.

The outcomes of this activity are very important for the robotics industry because it tackles concepts very close to real world deployment of robots to perform tasks, autonomously, within a robot group, and/or cooperating and/or collaborating with humans. This is a clear evolution of the IEEE RAS standards portfolio (previously focused on high-level concepts and definitions) and a valuable contribution to the robotics standards landscape in Europe and worldwide.
