The workshop intends to reflect the impact of cognitive robotics research on industrial applications by showing successful transfer examples from research to industry and discussing lessons learnt in previous EU funded research projects in cognitive systems. The goal is to analyse the actual transfer process in the light of today’s needs of robotic industry, formulate open problems in terms of industrial requirements and fundamental research questions. In particular, the speakers will address the following questions 1) What technologies that can be attributed to cognitive robotics research were successfully introduced into industrial applications 2) what technologies does the industry expect to get from cognitive robotics research in the next three years. The material presented at the workshop will be made available on the web. A short report will be prepared by the organisers and made available for the related TGs: “AI and Cognition in Robotics”, “Perception” and “Robot Companions for Assisted Living”.
