VOJEXT APRIL

Areas mainly addressed: Regulation and Standardization for Robotics and AI 

Main questions to be answered: 

· Evolving standards and gaps regarding the EU Regulations 

· Needs of SMEs and robots certification 

· AI EU draft regulation and robotics industry: issue and gaps, need of standards 

WS Description: Scope: to understand which problems, hindrances and issues the audience (companies and researchers) has with regards to standards and EU regulations providing practical answers and solutions and collecting the stakeholders inputs and critics for gaps analysis . 

Expected output :minutes containing questions and answers, hints and practical solutions, gap analysis 

Format: 

After 30 minutes of questions and answers the assembly will be subdivided in 4 groups on specific topics/domains as emerged from previous phase. The panel experts will act as facilitators. 

Possible subgroups are : 

– Standards related to AI and AI EU Regulation Proposal impact on robotics industry 

– Robots using AI , regulations and standards, gap analysis 

Each subgroup will provide minutes to be written down from minute 65 to 70. 

from minute 70 to 80 each subgroup will present its minutes to the full audience. 

Intended outcome: Workshop covering material new to ERF that the Robotics community should engage with, Workshops engaging non-roboticists to understand needs/goals (policy, commercial, technical) 

Approach: 80 minutes slot
