Robotics is increasingly playing an important role in industry and in society in general. It is essentially a cross-sectional topic, offering solutions for a number of domains, from healthcare to manufacturing to infrastructure, and is itself the science of integration, drawing upon a wide range of disciplines, from mechanical and electrical engineering to computer science and artificial intelligence. In this session we will focus on the following issues:

• What is robotics and how does it relate to AI?
• Why is robotics beneficial to Europe and important for society?
• What role do RTOs play in the context of robotics? How are they supporting the development of next generation systems and pushing their deployment in the real world?
• What topics are important for robotics from the perspective of FP9?

We will hear perspectives on these topics from 2 robotics experts from leading RTOs and through a panel Q&A session with members of industry working with robotics, from SMEs developing robotics components, robotics manufacturers, and end-users of robotics.
