The aim of this PEPR is to carry out an in-depth review of the hardware design and software implementation of robots, incorporating from the outset a reflection on the conditions for robotics adapted to interaction with users.
The current design of robots, strongly linked to industrial use, leads to difficulties and even failures in interactions with humans. This observation has prompted the creation of the O2R Priority Research Programme and Equipment (PEPR), co-sponsored by Inria, CNRS and CEA. The aim of this PEPR is to carry out an in-depth review of the hardware design and software implementation of robots, incorporating from the outset a reflection on the conditions for robotics adapted to interaction with users.
