Opportunities for Knowledge Transfer

UK has many strengths in this industry World class academic research 30 academic institutions

Some 60 companies, half SMEs

Innovation strength across many sectors, software,hardware, design, mechanics, materials, sensors,

Disparate industry defence, industrial, medical, socialdomestic, cognition, artificial intelligence

Aim to bring disparate communities together

FP7 2009-10 (Call 4 and ICT Call 6)

Cognitive systems and robotics

Continuity and progress: the long term focus on artificial systems which are: More robust More adaptive More effective More natural , cooperative etc Dealing with unconstrained , real world situations

Important research questions: How pro-active or autonomous can / should a robot be? Can we categorise real world behaviour unambiguously through

sensors ?

How can a robot recognise and deal with critical safety problems? How can we endow robots with high level cognitive skills ? How can we make sense of raw data streams in environments not

known to the sensors / robots?
