Project cluster relation: Yes: Adra, Adra-e, AI4Europe, euRobin
Areas mainly addressed: Robotics and AI/Big Data Value
Main questions to be answered:
· What are the (grand/inspiring) challenges at the cross-roads of AI, Data and Robotics Europe should invest in
WS Description: An effective European AI, Data and Robotics ecosystem is a necessity to provide a powerful response to many of the challenges Europe and the world are facing, and valorize the opportunities it presents . Much of this power comes through synergies and collaboration between disciplines and communities. A powerful mechanism to achieve convergence are shared challenges and objectives. Due to the omnipresence of AI, Data and Robotics technologies, and the complexity of the value-chains involved, defining such challenges is easy and difficult at the same time. Easy in the sense that technological advancements in ADR promise new opportunities when applied in nearly all sectors and application domains. Difficult in the sense that prioritization isn’t obvious. In this workshop we explore 4 (grand) – challenges (archetypes) and investigate their potential and what implementing these challenges would require in terms of ecosystem and support.
Intended outcome: List of inspiring challenges at the cross-roads of AI, Data and Robotics
Draft Agenda (90 minutes)
Presentation 10-pager + Qs (30 mins)
Break-out groups (45 mins – 15 min per question)
Restitution (15 mins – 4 min per group)
Break-out groups (topic / chairs)
Break-out groups are focused around an archetype challenge. They have a chair that minimally prepares the contours of the challenges, and animates the discussion in the break-out group. The break-out groups are composed of the people that attend the session. Around 7 persons per group is advisable. The break-out groups are populated randomly with participants to the session. The objective of the session is get a dialogue going between the various stakeholders and their interests (i.e. the challenge in that sense is secondary, but input to the challenge at hand is valuable and will be taken into account in the development of the SRIDA)
- Socio-economic – zero carbon emissions (Christophe Leroux/Nabil Belbachir)
- Application/sector oriented – to be defined e.g automotive (David Bisset)
- Infrastructure – AI on demand platform (Barry O’Sullivan/Gabriel Gonzales)
- Scientific/technological Challenge – to be defined (Fredrik Heintz/Jean-Baptiste Mouret)
