Challenge 2: Cognitive Sytems, Interaction, Robotics

Providing the next generations of ICTs with more intelligence will create many new opportunities in a range of sectors.

Research here will focus on developing ICT systems that are more aware of what is going on around them, and will be able to learn, reason and interact with people more naturally. These robots and "smart artefacts" will thus better serve our needs in the real world.

Instead of forcing users to learn how to use the machines, the machines will learn how best to work with us. Applications in areas as diverse as manufacturing, education, healthcare, public safety, environmental protection
and service robotics are expected.
