Topic Group Name:<\/strong> \u201cRobotics for Sustainability and Environmental Aspects\u201d<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Motivation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There is a lack of understanding, active research and definition on the aspect of Sustainability (social, ecological and economic) and the role of robotics. The EU commission is very much interested in pursuing the topics of Sustainable Development Goals<\/a><\/u> and the European Green Deal<\/a><\/u>, which is reflected in the Horizon Europe<\/a><\/u> programme.<\/p>\n

Exploiting robotics for sustainability can be done by making\u00a0 robots\u00a0 themselves\u00a0 more\u00a0 sustainable. Additionally, robots have skills such as strength, precision and sensing often surpassing those of humans. Combining the physical endurance of the robots with the cognitive flexibility of humans in a collaborative fashion is advantageous in different applications that enable sustainability and support environmental aspects.<\/p>\n

With this as motivation, we would like to explore the interest of euRobotic member institutions in contributing to the topic group.<\/p>\n
