Zusammenfassung

Mit dem Programm Horizon 2020 verfügt die Europäische Kommission über das größte zivile Forschungsprogramm der Welt. Robotik und die eng verbundene Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologie (IKT) bilden einen Schwerpunkt des Programms. Das, für die gesellschaftliche und ökonomische Entwicklung Europas wichtige, Thema Robotik optimal in diesem Programm zu repräsentieren, ist Aufgabe des Public-Private Partnership euRobotics. Diese Organisation bildet die Schnittstelle zwischen der Europäischen Kommission und den Forschern, der Industrie und den Nutzern der Robotik. Um das Marktpotential der Robotik zu heben und die damit verbundenen zukünftigen Forschungs- und Entwicklungsfragen zu identifizieren, wurde eine Strategic Research Agenda für Robotik in Europa für die Jahre 2014–2020 entwickelt. In diesem Artikel werden Forschungsinstitutionen und Projekte in Österreich vorgestellt, die bereits an der Umsetzung dieser Roadmap arbeiten. Weiters wird aufgezeigt, wo Österreich noch Bedarf an Forschung und Entwicklung hat. Diese Bestandsaufnahme wird in die Entwicklung einer österreichischen Robotics Research Roadmap einfließen. Diese Roadmap wird von der Arbeitsgruppe Robotik der Gesellschaft für Mess-, Automatisierungs- und Robotertechnik (GMAR) entwickelt werden und sowohl Forschern und der Industrie als auch der öffentlichen Hand als Leitfaden dienen, um das Potential der Robotik in Österreich zu stimulieren und auszubauen.

Abstract

With the program Horizon 2020 the European commission has the largest civilian research program worldwide. Robotics and the closely related field information and communication technology (ICT) form core areas of the program. The optimal representation of this topic is immensely important for the social and economic development in Europe within the program is the mission of the public-private partnership euRobotics. This organization acts as an interface between the European commission, researcher, industry and end-user in the area of robotics. In order to lift the market potential of robotics and to identify the related research and development questions a Robotics Strategic Research Agenda for Europe for the year 2014–2020 was developed. In this article we present Austrian research institutions and projects that already work on the realization of that roadmap. Moreover, we will pinpoint areas where Austria has a need for research and development. This assessment will be integrated in the development of an Austrian Robotics Research Roadmap. This roadmap will be developed by the robotics working group within society for measurement, automation and robot technology (GMAR) and should serve research, industry and public stakeholder as a guideline to stimulate and extend the potential of robotics in Austria.
