ROBOT@CWE

The aim of ROBOT@ is to establish a concept and develop prototypes of a collaborative working environment that include robots and thus to improve productivity and safety. We are part of a consortium of 10 partners in Europe and Japan, coordinated by CNRS/AIST Joint French-Japanese Robotics Laboratory, France. The project is funded by FP6-2005-IST-5 Collaborative Working Environments and lasts from November 2006 to October 2009. During this time our focus is on usability and user experience issues in human-robot collaboration and tele-operation interfaces. Furthermore we investigate social issues of robots in working environments such as acceptance and social appliance, which underlines the interdisciplinary nature of the ICT&S Center.
