The Robotics4EU project aims the design of a model for the assessment of robotics maturity. We expect the model to facilitate estimating to what extent a robot is ready to be accepted by society at large. This video introduces the basic principles of the model.

The Robotics4EU project has convened a 10-member Expert Group consisting of representatives from previously funded EU projects, the robotics industry, citizens, and policy/decision-makers in robotics. This group will have at least two formal meetings during the duration of the project. One digital meeting by Month 12 (December 2021) and one physical meeting by Month 28 (April 2023). This document reports on the first of these meetings.
This factsheet is based on research conducted for the Robotics EU reports “Societal Readiness Plan of Robotics4EU project” (D1.1).
Societal Readiness Plan includes:
• Strategy and guidelines for the consortium on how to implement the principles of responsible research and innovation.
• Strategy for assessing the societal readiness throughout the project activities.
The report summarises the needs analyses of the robotics community and users. It includes the results of the desktop analyses, robotics community and policy consultation.
This report proposes a methodology (guide) to the consortium partners on how to organise in each priority area of the Robotics4EU project 4 online workshops and 1 physical workshop as well as the final event. The methodology ensures that similar approach is used for all workshops.
LNE proposes a maturity assessment model to evaluate the maturity of non-technological aspects of robotics in the focus areas of the project: health, agri-food, agile production, inspection and maintenance of infrastructure. Deliverable 1.3 presents the initial version of the model.
This document presents the results from a global citizen consultation on robotics, “GlobalSay on Robotics”, which took place in October and November 2021 across 12 different countries. The consultation focused on getting insights into what citizens think about the non-technological issues regarding robotics, the potential benefits and risks, and which barriers there might be to the wide adoption of robotics in society.

The virtual reality exhibition is part of the Robotics4EU European project.
The vision of the exhibition was to make all innovations and robotics available to everyone in a virtual reality format, as it provides a great opportunity to bring together many companies on one platform and offer the most immersive experience. As we know, there are no similar exhibitions done before By participating in the project exhibition, companies will have the opportunity to market themselves and gain new business partners. The next step will be to showcase the exhibition at various innovation, technology and robotics events across Europe.
The R4EU virtual reality exhibition will also be available with or without 3D glasses in a two-dimensional format. Visitors can access websites, videos, presentations and 3D models of robots during the exhibition to explore. In addition, the exhibition aims to have partner companies from different disciplines so that different virtual exhibition spaces can be created by category. For example, categorise them as “Smart city”, “Education” and “Industry”.
The virtual exhibition has been created and developed in collaboration with specialists from the XR Centre at TalTech, a top Estonian university. During the development of the exhibition idea, a number of service providers were contacted in advance to develop the concepts. Different service providers had different visions and strategies, but the selected service provider had ideas that overlapped with our visions, which fit well with the project.
To get an idea of the potential of the exhibition and how visitors would view it, we created a rudimentary virtual version of the exhibition. After some changes, we started the project. As a first step, we contacted a number of European robotics and technology companies that had an actual physical product. Initially, only a few of them gave positive feedback and some of them agreed to participate in the future.
If you are interested in bringing your product or company to the exhibition, please get in touch with us!
