1. What are you looking for?
ICT 24.a Research & Innovation Actions (RIA) to advance key technologies relevant for industrial and service robotics

Advance robotics abilities + key technologies and their combination

Market domains: healthcare, consumer, transport.

Demonstrate increased TRL (Technology Readiness Level) relevant for the market domains Research results will have to be validated in real‐world setting, demonstrating progress in abilities/technologies RELEVANT to these market domains
100% funding ‐> Focus on RTD, not innovation
From basic research to more applied research (depending on TRL)
REFER TO Strategic Research Agenda and Multi‐Annual Roadmap (MAR)
‐ Detailed definition of Market domains and Technology Combinations
‐ Technology/ability gaps for specific applications –> need for TRL steps


Demonstrate increased TRL (Technology Readiness Level) relevant for the market domains Research results will have to be validated in real‐world setting, demonstrating progress in abilities/technologies RELEVANT to these market domains
100% funding ‐> Focus on RTD, not innovation
From basic research to more applied research (depending on TRL)
REFER TO Strategic Research Agenda and Multi‐Annual Roadmap
ICT 24 – 2015: ROBOTICS
1. What are you looking for?
ICT 24.b INNOVATION ACTIONS (IA): Technology transfer – Industry‐
academia cross‐fertilisation
1 or 2 Large project (s) may include open calls for small scale Industry‐Academia experiments with industrial platforms
Share infrastructure, define joint industrially relevant scenarios, cluster activities
ICT 24 – 2015: ROBOTICS
1. What are you looking for?
ICT 24.c INNOVATION ACTIONS (IA): Technology transfer – Robotics use cases Proposals focusing on transferring latest research results from the lab to the industry/users
the expertise covering the complete lifecycle must be present in proposal (from research to integration to users). concrete plan to reach impact carefully explained
business case made user driven proposals and not technology push
ICT 24 – 2015: ROBOTICS
1. What are you looking for?
ICT 24.d Pre‐Commercial procurement (PcP) in robotics

Application Areas: Healthcare
Gathering public procurers with common needs One large project (up to 5m€) including 2 major components
‐
Refining requirements; organizing the selection of suppliers and evaluation of progress
‐ RTD work to be procured More specific information on PCP: http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/wp/2014_2015/annexes/h2020‐wp1415‐
annex‐e‐inproc_en.pdf ICT 24 – 2015: ROBOTICS
1. What are you looking for?
ICT 24.e Coordination Actions (CSA): Community building and Robotic competitions
 Supporting the European robotics community: ‐ Networking, education, outreach, public awareness, technology watch, standardisation, and industry‐academia collaboration, links to national programmes and initiatives. ‐ Ethical, legal, societal and economical aspects  International cooperation
 Coordinating on the next generation of cognitive systems and robotics
 Robotic Competitions: towards smarter robots

2. Is this new or has it been called before?
ICT 24.a: While the robotics technologies and abilities that still are to be advanced are not very different from the previous research efforts, they now have to be advanced in the context of some market domains prioritized in the call and progress have to be demonstrated in real‐life setup relevant for these market ICT CT 24.b: Technology transfer ‐ Industry‐academia cross‐fertilisation
– similar to ECHORD http://www.echord.info/ and ECHORD ++, however, with a different administrative mechanism ‐ possibility to include third parties as opposed to add partners
ICT 24 – 2015: ROBOTICS
2. Is this new or has it been called before?
ICT 24.c: use‐cases – similar to CALL10 /ICT 23.b – but relatively recent –
proposers must understand the focus on technology transfer as opposed to R&D ICT 24.d: PcP in Healthcare – second time called in robotics (first time in ICT23 for a different domain)
– a concept of PcP (PcP Pilot) exists in ECHORD++ – relevant projects: SMART@FIRE http://www.smartatfire.eu/, SILVER
http://www.silverpcp.eu/

4. What do you NOT want?
‐ ICT 24 a) Research not connected to the prioritised
market domains
‐ ICT 24 c) ‐
Major research components in the tech transfer projects
‐
Use cases without users: Pure technology push use cases
ICT 24 – 2015: ROBOTICS ‐ Key actors
5. Who are the leading players?
PPP in Robotics – SPARC, represented by the euRobotics AISBL ‐ http://www.eu‐robotics.net/ppp ‐ involves major stakeholders
‐ open: strongly encourage participation of robotics stakeholders
Note that the PPP is not exhaustive and end users are typically not highly represented
System integrators are not present either
Public body/ procurers for the PcP not (yet) in the PPP
‐ the PPP partners are not favored in the selection process
6. Is there a key group of actors or ETP driving this?
European Robotics PPP – SPARC ‐ http://sparc‐robotics.eu/about/ ICT 24 – 2015: ROBOTICS
