* Industries 4.0
* Smart Homes
* Field Robotics

From 2017, the notion of hosting a turning event in Europe desired by Innoecho, the organizing company of Innorobo, gives a greater dimension to it – Innorobo, the most important European event in world robotics. It answers to the needs of visitors and local specificities that matter in the world of robotics.

 

 

 

A EUROPEAN SUMMIT OF ROBOTICS 2016 EVENT

Innorobo is a European summit of the world robotics community. The last’s year’s edition, was held in Lyon, France and gathered together over 200 exhibitors from all around the globe, 350 speakers, world experts and CEOs and senior managers from companies that design or use today’s and tomorrow’s robotics technologies.

For this year’s edition, the 6th Innorobo is taking on a new dimension, as for the first time, it will be held in Paris. “We will now be changing host cities on a regular basis in order to get even closer to industry professionals, local companies and European decision-makers. This is why Innorobo 2016 will be held at the Docks de Paris from 24 to 26 May 2016.” says Catherine Simon, Innorobo founder.

The three-day exhibition realizes a state of the art of robotics technologies from around the world, with a large exhibition hall, conferences featuring renowned specialists in the field and a number of workshops and demonstration areas.

Robotic technologies and systems offer solutions for the major challenges our society is facing and help to improve our quality of life.

Innorobo showcases robotics technologies to a wide range of industries, promoting cross-innovation and providing players in a number of sectors with new opportunities for growth and diversification. Like Internet, robotics technologies are nearly boundless, helping to shape innovation throughout society as a whole.

Innorobo 2016 brings together all of these sectors in 6 core themes rolled out for the 2015 edition:

* Smart Cities;
* Technologies & Foresight;
* Medical & Health;
* Factories of the Future;
* Smart Homes;
* Field Robotics.

“Innorobo 2015 was 30% bigger than the 2014 edition, illustrating the 12% growth in the industrial robotics sector and 28% expansion of the personal service robotics market in 2014,” said Catherine Simon, CEO of Innoecho, during her presentation of the results of this year’s event. “In 2015, Innorobo exhibitors displayed a host of robotics innovations for the first time in France, or even in Europe, proving just how dynamic this sector is.”

PARIS: Pepper, a friendly service robot who can read people's emotions, was the star of this year's Innorobo robotics expo in Paris, following an announcement that the humanoid robot would hit European markets this year.

Standing at 120 cm (47 inches) tall, Pepper looks like a small child, and is designed to perform services and interact with humans.

The robot was developed by robotics company SoftBank and has already made waves in Japan, as an innovative new take on customer service.

In France, Pepper has been tested in various roles, including working at French supermarket Carrefour, helping travellers in train stations and on cruise ships.

"People are more and more curious, slowly but surely ... We've noticed the public really likes Pepper, there's a lot of interaction with her, much more than with an interactive drone for example," said Softbank Robotics Communications Director Aurore Chicot.

Pepper uses visual and aural cues to assess the emotions of people it interacts with, as visitors of the Innorobo expo saw on a digital tablet displayed on the robot's front side.

Payments company MasterCard on Wednesday also announced a partnership with Pizza Hut Restaurants Asia to bring the humaoid to its restaurants by the end of 2016.

Visitors said they have accepted the pace at which robotics is advancing, and that it's gradual enough to not cause panic.

"The panic comes from the fact that we imagine fully developed robots today. But the problem is that robots will evolve at the same time as we do, so it will happen slowly. We don't realize anything now, we will evolve with them. There won't be this kind of break, where all of a sudden there are robots immersed in our day to day lives," said Yves Gellie, an artist who was visiting the expo.

Innorobo is an annual European expo dedicated to robotics and tech innovations.

More than 19 different countries were represented at the sixth installment, with 200 exhibitors presenting novelties from toys to educational companions and medical apparatuses.

Rules & Criteria
Application form



The 2017 edition of Innorobo, Europe’s leading summit of the global robotics ecosystem, is launching its new “Call for Robotics Innovation”, which aims to promote advances in robotics technology that make a concrete contribution to sustainable humankind. This new competition is inspired by and based on the principles of the Millennium Project and the Nesta Standards of Evidence, two non-profit initiatives that share Innorobo’s philosophy of fostering innovation that generates not only economic value, but also benefits society by addressing today’s key global challenges head-on.

“We are convinced that any economic player can develop great business, make healthy profits and at the same time, do good for the world, thus creating a more sustainable world through international business development,” explains Catherine Simon, Innorobo’s founder and CEO. “This applies particularly well to robotics, a General Purpose Technology that offers nearly unprecedented power to transform our society in beneficial ways.”

Organizations of all types and sizes wishing to take part in the Call for Robotics Innovations can apply between 15 December 2016 and 17 February 2017 at midnight. The application form can be downloaded here. The selected finalists will present their innovation during a special session at the Innorobo 2017 event, to be held in Paris, France from 16 to 18 May 2017.

“We originally held a ‘Call for Start-ups’, as these new ventures had a hard time getting their share of voice and support from the financial and economic communities,” points out Catherine Simon. “Today, times have changed, and start-ups are widely accepted as playing a major role in the economy. Our event and services are constantly evolving to keep in step with value in use, across real market needs and applications. The time has come for Innorobo to support robotics as a means to alleviate or even solve some of the biggest challenges our society is facing and act upon its tagline: a human approach to disruptive technologies.”

World challenges for humans on planet earth

 

 

MILLENIUM PROJECT - CHALLENGES

The 15 Global Challenges provide a framework to assess the global and local prospects for humanity. Their description, with a range of views and actions to addressed each, enriched with regional views and progress assessments are updated each year, since 1996. A short overview is published in the annual State of the Future,while continuous updates and details are available on the Global Futures Intelligence System website: https://themp.org. The 15 Global Challenges are a result of continuous research, Delphi studies, interviews, and participantion of over 4,000 experts from around the world, since 1996 -- see a short history.

The Global Challenges are transnational in nature and trans-institutional in solution. They cannot be addressed by any government or institution acting alone. They require collaborative action among governments, international organizations, corporations, universities, NGOs, and creative individuals. Although listed in sequence, Challenge 1 on sustainable development and climate change is no more or less important than Challenge 15 on global ethics. There is greater consensus about the global situation as expressed in these Challenges and the actions to address them than is evident in the news media.

The 15 Global Challenges:

1. How can sustainable development be achieved for all while addressing global climate change?

2. How can everyone have sufficient clean water without conflict?

3. How can population growth and resources be brought into balance?

4. How can genuine democracy emerge from authoritarian regimes?

5. How can decisionmaking be enhanced by integrating improved global foresight during unprecedented accelerating change?

6. How can the global convergence of information and communications technologies work for everyone?

7. How can ethical market economies be encouraged to help reduce the gap between rich and poor?

8. How can the threat of new and reemerging diseases and immune micro-organisms be reduced?

9. How can education make humanity more intelligent, knowledgeable, and wise enough to address its global challenges?

10. How can shared values and new security strategies reduce ethnic conflicts, terrorism, and the use of weapons of mass destruction?

11. How can the changing status of women help improve the human condition?

12. How can transnational organized crime networks be stopped from becoming more powerful and sophisticated global enterprises?

13. How can growing energy demands be met safely and efficiently?

14. How can scientific and technological breakthroughs be accelerated to improve the human condition?

15. How can ethical considerations become more routinely incorporated into global decisions?

SVEDKA - A robot used for advertising, unashamedly employing the female form alluredly. There is nothing new about that, advertising agencies have been doing that for years using men and women to appeal to targeted audiences - as long as the robots do not become too clever.

 

 

 

ACCREA - Medical procedures might one day be more complex than they are at present, given the laser eye surgery and other surgery is already commonplace.

EXHIBITION STAND No 115 - Side view of what is likely to be the world's largest ocean going vacuum cleaner when it is launched. This stand was visited by hundreds of delegates in the two days of the Innovate 2015 event in London. Where this is a workboat with a huge mouth to scoop up debris, more efficient hulls that use the same energy harvesting platform may achieve up to 10 knots continuous cruising speeds in theory, which would be an improvement on PlanetSolar that managed almost 5 knots across the Atlantic in ideal conditions.

Innovation for Innovate 2015, our display stand

 

SEAVAX SHOWCASE 2015 -  This is a photo of the display on November 10th 2015 at the Innovate 2015 event. The vehicle and project were not featured at the Robotic Centre opening, though several of those in attendance are potential partners to the project. A road show may be on the cards for 2016, if sponsors are found that are interested in cleaning up our oceans and rivers - maybe as part of their corporate responsibility drive. This vessel may also clean up oil spills, apart from the toxic plastic that is presently choking blue growth. As a company without a trading track record, Bluebird Marine Systems do not qualify for funding under any of the schemes presently run by the Dti and European Commission (Horizon 2020).
