Humanoid robots from a human and societal perspective
Humanoid robots are rapidly emerging as an important development within Physical/Embodied AI, with potential applications across industry, workplaces and society. However, it remains unclear where humanoid robots provide real value compared with other automation technologies and existing work practices, and what their wider implications will be.
The pre-study aims to identify and analyse promising use cases where humanoid robots could complement and augment human capabilities rather than replace them. Based on these use cases, the study will further identify key knowledge gaps and research needs. These may include technological challenges as well as questions related to human–robot collaboration, trust, safety, occupational health and safety, learning, inclusion, competence needs and broader impacts on work and society.
The study will also explore how competencies across RISE can be combined to address these knowledge gaps and identify relevant external partners from industry, academia and the public sector. The aim is to establish a foundation for cross-disciplinary research initiatives and future collaborations on how humanoid robots can be developed and introduced in a human-centred, sustainable and resilient way.
The prestudy is a seed project of Extended Reality ICT Forum.
