Questions to be answered

The workshop will introduce the RoX ecosystem, use cases and technological challenges with focus on perception and manipulation. The attendees will get a high-level overview on the ecosystem, challenges and use cases in presentations. The interaction with the speakers will be done online and in the panel. The outcome is an assessment of the current ecosystem approach and the current limitations and risks. End-users and SMEs will get an insight into how and when to use the technology.

Description

The digital transformation of industry requires innovative solutions that synergistically combine technologies such as robotics, artificial intelligence and cloud computing. The RoX project addresses this challenge by developing a decentralized data and service ecosystem that enables the integration of AI into robotic systems and their efficient use in industrial applications. The workshop will give an overview on specific challenges that arise from the use cases and the integration in a robust data space that enables secure and efficient collaboration between all players in the robotics and automation sector. Exemplary use cases from the RoX ecosystem will be introduced.

A Slido interactive session will assess questions, user needs and expectations on the RoX ecosystem approach. A panel session with the speakers will elaborate in detail the use case requirements, common challenges and implementations with focus on their industrial applicability for integrators and end-users.
