Description du projet
Former les chercheurs en début de carrière à la technologie des robots personnalisés
Le domaine de la robotique personnelle soulève de nouveaux défis concernant le besoin d’un comportement robotique caractérisé par un haut niveau de personnalisation en fonction des besoins et des préférences de chaque utilisateur. L’objectif consiste à disposer d’un référentiel des comportements des robots dans le cloud qui permette une approche facile de la configuration personnalisée. Cela implique d’étudier les différentes capacités des robots afin de comprendre et de modéliser correctement l’interaction homme-robot et d’adapter le comportement du robot au contexte. Le projet PERSEO, financé par l’UE, formera des chercheurs en début de carrière (CDC) dans les domaines de l’informatique, de la philosophie et de la psychologie, à la manière dont la technologie robotique peut être personnalisée aux niveaux physique, cognitif et social. Cela permettra aux CDC de comprendre la façon d’aborder les questions sociales, juridiques et éthiques qui se posent lors de l’adoption de robots personnels.
Objectif
The ETN on PErsonalized Robotics as SErvice Oriented applications - PERSEO - aims at training a new generation of research and professional figures able to face the research challenges of the market of personal robots. The personal robotics domain presents several research challenges mainly related to the need for a high degree of personalization of the robot behaviour with respect to the specific user’s needs and preferences. Companies need to build solutions rooted in a deeper analysis of humans’ specificities before developing products for people. At the same time, academia needs to nurture the development of an extended research community with a set of interdisciplinary skills to investigate different robot’s capabilities for understanding and modelling the interaction with human beings, for adapting the robot’s behaviour to the context, and software integration mechanisms that allow an easy personalized configuration approach to limit the static and costly customization processes of a novel robotic system. The PERSEO’s research program is organized into three Research Themes aimed at investigating personalization of robot capabilities at different levels of possible human-robot interaction, namely “Physical”, “Cognitive”, and “Social”. This requires a set of research skills ranging from computer science and AI to automation, ethics, and psychology. Fellows will deepen their knowledge in projects covering a specific research theme but, through training events, secondments, and peer collaborations will gain extensive knowledge in other areas so leading to a multidisciplinary research programme and the integration with other projects to achieve the proposed Integration Milestones. The project also aims at training Early Stage Researchers to address social, legal, and ethical issues that arise by the uptake of personal robots, as such skills are fundamental to achieve technological innovation which aligns with European social, ethical al legal values.
