Description
Robotics is a technology that encompasses the design, building, implementation, and operation of robots. Robotics includes applications designed to conduct a specific task or series of tasks for commercial purposes. These robots may be stationary or mobile but are limited in function as defined by the intended application. Multipurpose robots are capable of performing a variety of functions and movements determined by a user that programs the robot for tasks, movement, range, and other functions and that may change the effector based on the required task. These robots function autonomously within the parameters of their programming to conduct tasks for commercial applications and may be fixed, "moveable," or mobile. Cognitive robots are capable of decision making and reason, which allows them to function within a complex environment.
agROBOfood is an EU funded four-years project aiming to build a pan-European network of Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs) that stimulates the effective adoption of robotic technologies in the agri-food sector, which in turn will become more efficient and competitive.
This report focuses on analysing the consequences of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics-based automation on industry and work, the related human-machine systems and human-computer interaction, and the need for policy to support a positive transition and mitigate the potential risks. Automa
The ICT manufacturing sector and electronics in general play a strategically important role for the EU’s economy and society.
As the food industry faces an array of challenges such as changing diets, climate change, resource depletion, demographics and globalisation, food robotics could help mastering some of those, e.g.
The manufacturing industry is a strong asset of the European economy, whose competitiveness is highly dependent on the ability of this sector to deliver high-quality innovative products using the latest advances in ICT.
The way of working has drastically changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Working from home instead of the office or other places has triggered the need for technology to fill the gaps that arise from working remotely.
