PAL Robotics’ CEO Francesco Ferro appointed to the Board of Director of Adra

We’re proud to announce that PAL Robotics’ CEO Francesco Ferro has been appointed to the brand new Board of Administrators of the Adra – AI-Knowledge-Robotics-Affiliation (AI, Knowledge, Robotics Affiliation) within the Normal Meeting election representing PAL Robotics by way of euRobotics. In a public-private partnership with the European Fee, Adra drives innovation and acceptance of recent applied sciences. Below the management of President Marina Invoice (Group Vice President of ABB), Adra covers three areas of competence – Robotics (euRobotics aisbl) , Huge Knowledge (BDVA – Huge Knowledge Worth Affiliation), and Synthetic Intelligence ( CLAIRE, ELLIS – European Laboratory for Studying and Clever Programs and European Synthetic Intelligence Affiliation).

The administrators for business, alongside our CEO Francesco Ferro, are Wealthy Walker, Director of Shadow Robotic, and Anne Waltenberger, International Head of CX Advertising at ABB, Konstantina Bereta, Senior Researcher at MarineTraffic, Nozha Boujemaa, International VP, Digital Ethics & Accountable AI at IKEA, and Seppo Tikkanen, Senior Ecosystem Lead at DIMECC Oy, Emanuela Girardi, CEO at AI Worth CA Group, Stefan Leijnen, Senior Advisor for Analysis, Innovation and Worldwide Affairs at Nederlandse AI Coalitie | NL AIC, and Clemens Wasner, CEO at EnliteAI GmbH.

For the administrators for analysis, the Normal Meeting elected as administrators Jon Agirre Ibarbia, Head of Strategic Analysis Programmes for Manufacturing and Robotics at Tecnalia, Christophe Leroux, Supervisor European Affairs at CEA Paris-Saclay, and Juha Röning, Professor on the College of Oulu, Freek Bomhof, Senior Advisor at TNO, Edward Curry, Professor of Knowledge Science on the College of Galway, and Director at Perception SFI Analysis Centre for Knowledge Analytics, and Stefan Van Baelen, Senior Supervisor Public Funding at Imec, Fredrik Heintz, Professor at Linköping College, Morten Irgens, Vice President of Analysis at Kristiania College School, and Petri Myllymäki, Professor on the College of Helsinki

About Adra (The AI, Knowledge and Robotics Affiliation)

The AI, Knowledge, and Robotics Affiliation (Adra, asbl) was based on Could 21, 2021, by 5 European organisations: BDVA, CLAIRE, ELLIS, EurAI and euRobotics .

Adra was created because the personal aspect of the European Partnership on AI, Knowledge and Robotics, one of many European Partnerships in Cluster 4 (digital, business, and area) in Horizon Europe. The Partnership was formally launched when Adra signed an MoU with the European Fee on June 23, 2021.

To ship the best profit to Europe from AI, Knowledge and Robotics, this Partnership goals to drive innovation, acceptance and uptake of those applied sciences.

By 2030, European sovereignty is anticipated within the growth and deployment of reliable, secure and strong AI, Knowledge and Robotics, appropriate with EU values and rules.

Each of the Horizon 2020 partnerships, Huge Knowledge Worth PPP and SPARC PPP, achieved excessive affect by enhancing cohesion and engagement throughout the Knowledge and Robotics ecosystems and communities. This Partnership builds on the work of those prior partnerships and the broader European AI group.

This Partnership is the European point of interest for AI, Knowledge and Robotics, and the entry level for organisations keen to collaborate and form straight with the European Fee the path these three domains of software will take.

PAL Robotics’ AI, information and robotics associated actions

AI

At PAL Robotics we develop varied AI functions in our robots along with our companions, a lot of that are inside EU analysis initiatives to foster new use instances in robotics. Our robots present embodiment to totally different AI options to permit them to go additional and work together with customers in real-world eventualities, resembling in healthcare and ambient assisted residing. Our problem is to have increasingly service robots in the true world collaborating and interacting with people in every day duties.

Knowledge

At PAL Robotics, our options combine with the atmosphere of our customers and clients, creating varied ecosystems that generate massive quantities of information – and connect with – our varied robotic platforms. For example, our social humanoid robotic ARI is appropriate for Good Cities and IoT – this will embrace information evaluation and gathering biometric information and environmental information. One other instance is our StockBot stock monitoring and data-collection robotic to be used in retail that handles information for enhancing the effectivity that helps contribute to price financial savings for retailers. 

Robotics

PAL Robotics’ analysis has led to the creation of a number of biped and wheeled humanoid robots. At present the staff at PAL Robotics is targeted on: bipedal legged robots for R&D – resembling TALOS and Kangaroo (torque management robots), impartial cell robots for logistics and stock monitoring – resembling TIAGo Base and StockBot, cell manipulators for assistive and industrial functions – resembling TIAGo, and social humanoid robotics, resembling ARI, for interplay with individuals and use in public areas.

About PAL Robotics: enhancing individuals’s high quality of life by way of service robotics 

Our mission is to reinforce individuals’s high quality of life by way of service robotics and automation applied sciences. Since 2004, we’ve designed and manufactured extremely built-in and dependable options for service industries and analysis establishments worldwide.

We assist our shoppers incorporate robotics into their organisations, absolutely tailored to their undertaking and or enterprise wants. We’re additionally concerned in quite a few collaborative initiatives and we offer professional options for business, logistics, healthcare and retail. We’re a pacesetter in humanoid robotics developments in Europe and we’re one of many founding members of the euRobotics Affiliation.
