Paulo Gonçalves

Description of Activities

In the proposed activity the gaps related to standards will be tackled within three working groups (WG) where I am contributing to: IEEE P1872.3, IEEE P1955 and IEEE P1872.1.1, related to multiple robots, reasoning, 6G for robotics and task representation and planning.

Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)
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.
Impact on society (6th Open Call)
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.

Impact on SMEs (5th Open Call)
My contributions in JTC22/WG3 are mostly related to quantum software, i.e., software that is executed on quantum computers but also software that is executed on classical computers for enabling/supporting quantum computations. In Europe, new SMEs are growing around the quantum software topic. Therefore, I feel that the activity I am carrying out in the context of JTC22/WG3 will be beneficial for those companies.
Impact on society (5th Open Call)
Quantum application benchmarking will benefit industrial end-users, quantum computing manufacturers (hardware and software) and Governments. The general intent is to fulfil their needs for objective performance comparison of emerging quantum processors, providing application benchmarks with specific metrics and methodologies.

Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)
The work of the IETF ROLL WG significantly impacts European SMEs by developing internationally recognised open standards, such as RPL. RPL presents multiple open-source implementations has been tested through extensive simulations and continuous evaluations. Also, RPL meets all their required capabilities, such as energy-efficient mechanisms, which are pivotal for sustainable growth.
Moreover, the continuous enhancements by the ROLL WG are vital for the evolution and adaptation of new use cases pertinent to the European context. These improvements ensure robust interoperability and adherence to security standards, both critical for SMEs operating in the dynamic European market. This commitment to excellence and relevance is applied in the standard reviews carried out within the IETF Directorates, such as IoT, Routing, and General-Area sectors. Such endeavours underscore our dedication to supporting European SMEs' technological advancement and operational efficiency.
