  1. Business Finland – CERN collaborationRobotics & AI Roel Pieters (AsstProf., Automation Technology and Mechanical Engineering) Esa Rahtu (AsstProf., Information Technology and Communication) 25.1.2019

  2. Background • Roel Pieters (Assistant Professor), roel.pieters@tuni.fi+358 50 447 8347, @pieters_roelAutomation Technology and Mechanical EngineeringCognitive Robotics GroupTampere Universityhttps://research.tuni.fi/cogrob/ • Esa Rahtu (Assistant Professor), esa.rahtu@tuni.fi+358 40 7628898Artificial Intelligence and Vision GroupInformation Technology and CommunicationTampere Universityhttp://esa.rahtu.fi BIC Collaboration – Robotics & AI

  3. CERN: Current and future problems CERN-bot Virtual LHC tunnel + robot • My perspective, based on discussion, current R&D and state-of-the-art • Video linkPresentation link • Current LHC: • Remote intervention: maintenance, inspection, handling • Robot tele-operation: object manipulation, localization/mapping • Perception: tele-presence, detection/recognition, AR/VR, • Future: • LHC/FCC: maintenance, inspection of future infrastructures • Conclusion: • CERN can serve as test-bed, facilitator, knowledge resource • Long-term commitment is key BIC Collaboration – Robotics & AI

  4. CERN tunnel environment Targeted topics/needs: Remote, enhanced tele-operation Virtual Reality interaction • Robotics: mobile base + arm • AI: virtual/augmented reality interaction • Augmented Man: human assistance and training Towards inspection and maintenance of infrastructure/objects BIC Collaboration – Robotics & AI

  5. Current TAU-CERN activities • Research with CERN robotics group (Engineering Department (EN))1 researcher + 2 in future • Intent to participate in CERN EP R&D 5 year plan • ATTRACT proposal • Co-Creation  Co-Innovation BIC Collaboration – Robotics & AI

  6. BF Co-Innovation: Current state and potential • Discussion with multiple companies: • Clear interest in: • Robotic tele-operation + Augmented/Virtual Reality • Remote object handling • Object/infrastructure inspection, personnel training • Core competence of companies does not necessarily relate to CERN,but their problems and needs do! • Companies cannot do R&D without BIC! • Common interests are these problems, and CERN as potential business facilitator/motivator BIC Collaboration – Robotics & AI

  7. BF Co-Innovation: Next steps • Get company commitment • Refine and narrow down on topics • Ensure that CERN benefits as well • Coordinate among other BIC collaboration projects/proposals BIC Collaboration – Robotics & AI

  8. Thank You!
