ROBOTICS MAP - Collaborative catalogue 2015 Release v.20151005 ROBOTICS MAP 2015: LET'S COLLABORATE! the first robotics community catalogue Madeeli Promotes this robotics community catalogue Join us! put your competences on the map and your name on the directory 100% shared, 100% free How does the community work: A contributor puts its competences on the map. A partner disseminates the catalogue twice a year, in its network. On the 23rd November 2015, next release during the euRobotics week More informations: http://euroboticsmap.madeeli.fr ROBOTICS MAP - Collaborative catalogue 2015 Release v.20151005 INTRODUCTION THE ROBOTICS MAP IS YOURS! Becoming a member is free of charge, all you have to do is register and contribute. The idea of a map was first initiated by the workshop on “The role of Regions in Supporting Robotics” organised in Brussels on October 30th 2013 by the European Commission, DG CONNECT, the Tuscany Region and the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna – BioRobotics Institute. The collaborative “Robotics Map” project was later launched during the euRobotics week 2014 in Toulouse. This initial version of the catalogue results from a partnership between Madeeli, Robotics Place and LAAS-CNRS (Midi-Pyrenees, France), Thésame and Innoecho (Rhone Alpes, France). The “Robotics Map 2015”’s community based ambition is to identify key stakeholders and individuals to build a map of competences and trigger smart collaboration… resulting in a coherent team structured for international competition in robotics. To enhance partnerships among members of the community, every contributor is to identify key contacts, competences, inputs and expectations. The purpose is not to be exhaustive but to give key information to be easily identified and reached. Every member of the community can create or modify a form at any time. This first release aggregates data entered by members to generate a catalogue. Subsequently, twice a year an updated version will be released that will integrate newcomers and modifications that will have taken place in the meantime. Community insight The RoCKIn Competition 2015 rockinrobotchallenge.eu/rockin2015 will take place in Lisbon between 21 and 23 November 2015, bringing 15 teams from 6 countries to compete and to benchmark their robots in domestic (RoCKIn@Home) and industrial (RoCKIn@Work) environments, showing the most recent progresses of their R&D. Similarly to what was done last year in Toulouse during RoCKIn 2014, we will also include a Workshop on EU Robotics Cluster Regions, organized by Madeeli, with its main focus on bringing together innovative Portuguese companies in this area, together with end-users and investors, so as to look towards creating a Robotics Cluster in Portugal and promoting opportunities for technology transfer from academic research to industrial products. Lisbon is promoting its worldwide image of Startup City and its Town Hall is nurturing this initiative. Come to see the RoCKIn Competition 2015 and take the opportunity to meet some of the best Portuguese entrepreneurs in robotics, creating bonds and opportunities for future joint work and business. Looking forward to meeting you in Lisbon! RoCKIn team.

Most of its research matches the main objectives and the research plan of this national research laboratory. Such objectives and plan embody in their structure a strategy that hinges upon three main lines of action: science, technology, and interaction with society and industry, all sharing a systems approach to research using tools that borrow from solid mathematical theory. This tripartite structure stimulates the cross-fertilization of ideas, motivates challenging problems, and creates further motivation for inter-disciplinary work with scientists from other complementary areas such as natural and/or social sciences. ISR is composed of about 30 university professors, plus more than 10 post-doctoral researchers, more than 50 PhD students and several administrative and technical staff. MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS The application themes of our research address grand challenges which solutions have strong societal and economic potential impacts, and raise scientific and technological issues of major magnitude. In particular, ISR research focuses on technological solutions for problems within the scope of the open oceans and the deep sea, sustainable urban systems, and biomedicine. TECHNOLOGIES AND SYSTEM ABILITIES This diversity of applications, the range of research topics covered, and the relevance given to human capital, are distinguishing features of ISR that constitute its hallmark. Some common problems are easily identified. One such example concerns sensor and actuator networks, used to monitor the oceans or urban spaces for a myriad of environmental variables. The complexity of such networks raises optimization problems that require new mathematical results and algorithms. The inclusion of robots as actuators brings to the scene fascinating problems faced by robotic system designers today, from navigation to task planning and execution, interaction and cooperation with humans and other robots. These capabilities turn the networks into active aerial, land, and sea entities where monitoring and surveillance performance can be dynamically improved by moving the robots to adjust the network geometry. Solving these problems requires the ability to blend harmonically contributions from signal, systems and control theories, engineering and computer science fields such as computer vision, artificial intelligence, or the theory of computation, often resorting to inspiration drawn from the natural and social sciences. Another example lies in the bilateral relationship of robotics with the biological and biomedical sciences, where robot assistants and robot swarms are used to study models of human and non-human animal behavior, while exploiting bio-inspired methods to improve their natural interaction with humans and advance the state-of-the-art of complex robot systems. COOPERATION PROFILE: SOMETHING TO OFFER? A REQUEST? We have several land, marine and aerial robots, as well as facilities – including test beds for domestic robotics, cognitive robotics and marine robotics – where researchers from all over Europe may come to work on challenging research projects.

TECHNOLOGIES AND SYSTEM ABILITIES Smart Product & Consumption Research Institute aims at testing several smart technologies to assess their acceptance towards several types of customers (old people, students, companies, etc.). FURTHER DETAILS This institute was launched in 2012 as the expression of the intention of NEOMA Business School and of our local authorities to invest in this area before searching for private corporate funding. Given the rising importance of smart products or SP (products that can communicate autonomously) in everyday and business life, the goal of the research centre is to develop knowledge on the consumption and marketing of these smart products, with a focus on two key topics: the sensory design and consumer appropriation of SP. In recent years, several research fields have been launched and the first articles have already been published by conferences or scholarly journals. Research results and data have been used in class to enrich the teaching of several courses (Marketing of Hi-tech Products, Marketing and Design, Marketing and Innovation). The same approach has been used for executive education (IBM, Econocom, e-mba). Several firms involved in the development of smart-products have been involved in teaching (Ubisoft, Aldebaran, Microsoft, Adobe, Cisco, HTC, SFR, Renault). COOPERATION PROFILE: SOMETHING TO OFFER? A REQUEST? The aim of the de Smart Product & Consumption Institute is to develop appropriate analytical frameworks to help current and future company heads and marketing directors in every sector of the economy to take up the challenge of smart products. More precisely, the scientific project of the institute is to identify and understand : Expressions of the change from object to smart product ; The design, and in particular the sensorial design, of smart-products ; How consumers appropriate smart-products, and the consequences of these products on consumer practices ; How companies appropriate smart-products, and the consequences of these products on marketing practices The knowledge produced by the Smart-Product and Consumption Institute will be communicated to all the stakeholders concerned, and more particularly to marketing managers in technological and non-technological companies, to management students and to researchers interested in technological environments.

Our main focus adresses the design and nonlinear modelling and control of wearable robotic systems with the human in the loop while considering different sources of uncertainties that exist in such systems. MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS Assistive robotics Robot with human in the loop Human robots interaction Next generation robotic systems TECHNOLOGIES AND SYSTEM ABILITIES The SARChI chair at TUT with the different CITSI (Centres, Institutions, Technology Stations and Incubators). TUT developed the technology capacity for prototyping innovative systems as the wearables robots under development within the Chair. The main research themes include the following: Modelling and design of Wearable Robotics systems (Exoskeletons) for assistance. Modelling and control of non-linear networked systems with uncertainties. Design and control of autonomic and polymorphic wheelchairs that adapt to the disability situation. Development of pattern recognition and behavioural analysis for human intention, detection to predict the human interaction in the control loop. To handle different levels of uncertainties in the system, a higher order fuzzy logic strategy will be developed. FURTHER DETAILS The Enabled Environment for Assisted Living is a multidisciplinary research area. The main objective of this domain concerns the development of tools and methods that can respond to the needs of the user anywhere and at any time. A wide range of applications may be considered which include, but are not limited to, Public Transport Systems, Tourism, Educational Environments (Smart Campus), Public Spaces and/or any application that is smart enough to assist the user based on the context or need. The Enabled Environment for Assisted Living forms part of this emerging area of research. The objective is to develop innovative solutions for persons with varying levels of disabilities so that the objectives of integrating such persons into mainstream society can be achieved. The notion of the ‘handicapped’ situation integrates most classical deficiencies related to physical, sensorial, or cerebral deficiencies that lead to the inability of an individual to function effectively. It also relates to situations in which aging contributes to light handicaps such as visual or auditory impairment. A need therefore arises for the development of various technologies that cater for various aspects (mobility, education, services, etc.) adapted to each individual case. The major difficulty in this domain is the definition of a generic device that is suitable to a large category of users while at the same time can be adapted to each individual case.
