    The current robot systems are mostly capable of sensory verification and update of static configurations of the environment. In most cases, the validation is performed on a static snapshot of the scene since the approaches assume that the changes in the scene are resulting from robot’s actions or known from a process description in industrial environments.

    The current robot systems are mostly capable of sensory verification and update of static configurations of the environment. In most cases, the validation is performed on a static snapshot of the scene since the approaches assume that the changes in the scene are resulting from robot’s actions or known from a process description in industrial environments. While such process information exists for industrial environments, the transition of robotic systems into unstructured every-day life with direct interaction with people requires an anticipation of actions and autonomous generation of action models to ensure safety in the operation. Examples of current ability levels are robots operating indoors in companies, like Baxter from Rethink Robotics, Care-O-bot from Fraunhofer IPA, Justin from DLR or PR2 from Willow Garage. All systems reached already a TRL level that allows them to be deployed into industrial environments or to perform simple transport task in the households yet much of it achieved with tele-operation and/or shared autonomy.
    The existing ability of the current systems to grasp the current configuration of a scene needs to be extended to the analysis of the temporal evolution of sensor data in order to understand the actions in the scene. This will allow robotic systems to be deployed for tasks that go beyond simple transport tasks. The main motivation for this topic group is summarized in the following statement:
    “Robots must be enabled to “leave” the labs with increased awareness and autonomy and operate in real-life scenarios to bring value to society.”

    Principal Investigator: Robotics-enabled Logistics and Assistive Services for the Transformable Factory of the Future (TAPAS) is a project funded by the European Commission within FP7. The goal of TAPAS is to pave the ground for a new generation of transformable solutions to automation and logistics for small and large series production, economic viable and flexible, regardless of changes in volumes and product type. TAPAS pioneers and validates key components to realize this vision: mobile robots with manipulation arms will automate logistic tasks more flexible and more complete by not only transporting, but also collecting needed parts and delivering them right to the place where needed. TAPAS robots will even go beyond moving parts around the shop floor to create additional value: they will automate assistive tasks that naturally extend the logistic tasks, such as preparatory and post-processing works, e.g., pre-assembly or machine tending with inherent quality control. TAPAS robots might initially be more expensive than other solutions, but through this additional creation of value and by a faster adaptation to changes with new levels of robustness, availability, and completeness of jobs TAPAS robots promise to yield an earlier return of investment
