Full description and objectives

How can Europe move robotics and AI systems from research prototypes to certified, trusted industrial deployment? This workshop compares technology transfer and validation pathways across three EU-funded initiatives spanning construction, agriculture, and cross-domain robotics research.

• AMALTEA's collaborative robots for façade installation scale via a structured EDIH and TEF roadshow programme, providing a live benchmarking and adoption infrastructure for the construction sector.

• O-CEI's edge-computing-enabled autonomous tractors demonstrate decentralised validation for safety-critical field operations without cloud dependency, addressing agriculture's connectivity-limited environments.

• euROBIN, a Network of Excellence, transfers robotics and AI software through its EuroCore repository and a coopetition model rewarding shared, reusable modules across academic and industrial teams — a structural answer to fragmentation in European robotics R&D.

Together, these initiatives illustrate distinct transfer mechanisms — structured roadshows, edge validation, and open shared-IP networks — and the qualification hurdles each imposes. Using a pain-point mapping exercise, participants will identify where SMEs and research teams get stuck moving from pilot to certified deployment, and which actor (EDIH, TEF, or project network) is best placed to unblock them.

This workshop directly addresses Theme 3 by using three EU-funded projects as concrete, contrasting case studies of the lab-to-deployment journey. AMALTEA illustrates a structured adoption pathway, where collaborative construction robots are transferred into real-world deployment through a train-the-trainers programme delivered via (E)DIHs and TEFs — demonstrating how regional innovation infrastructure can serve as a validation and scale-up mechanism. O-CEI illustrates a technical validation pathway, where decentralised edge computing replaces cloud dependency to enable autonomous agricultural robots to operate safely in unstructured, connectivity-limited field conditions — a model for how architecture choices at the research stage directly shape certification feasibility later. euROBIN illustrates a shared-IP and reusability pathway, where the EuroCore repository and coopetition model are specifically designed to prevent research fragmentation and make robotics and AI software transferable across academic and industrial teams from the outset. Together, the three projects map onto the theme's core question — what transfer mechanisms and validation pathways actually lead to certified, safe industrial impact — while the pain-point mapping exercise invites participants to test these models against their own experience, identifying where the journey breaks down and which actor (EDIH, TEF, or project network) is best placed to intervene.
