As of this year, Horizon Europe is the new Research and Development (R&D) program of the European Union, succeeding Horizon 2020 (2014-2020). Despite the end of Horizon 2020, some projects still seek to perfect the objectives of this program. It is in this context that the Robotics4EU project is part of, which launched last week a survey to improve the use of robotics in specific areas.

Robotics4EU is a three-year project that aims to ensure a more widespread adoption of robots (based on artificial intelligence). The programme focuses on four application areas: agile production (or agile method), infrastructure inspection and maintenance, healthcare and agri-food. Each of these four areas is subject to further use of robotics to perfect its methods of manufacture, use, execution, etc.

Robotics4EU aims to create an EU-wide responsible robotics community. This community should eventually represent robotics specialists from companies and universities as well as citizen users and politicians. The aim is threefold: to raise awareness of the non-technological aspects of robotics, to advocate responsible robotics and finally to develop a method to assess the knowledge and maturity of these actors in terms of responsible robotics.

In this context, a survey has been put online. It is addressed to any person likely to be impacted or not by robotics and responsible robotics. The survey takes about fifteen minutes and addresses the ways in which the respondent perceives robotics, how it is present in his daily life, but also addresses more advanced issues such as ethics or legislation. All the results will be used to answer the first two criteria of the community that Robotics4EU wants to create.
