TALOS solutions will demonstrate the added value of robotics & AI in the PV and agricultural sectors.
Adapting to different scenarios and users, these solutions prioritize high reactivity and responsiveness for effective collaboration between robots and humans.
Robotics deployment tools and human-robot collaborative environment
Multi-agent environments with the human-in the-loop*
An advanced system that oversees groups of robots in intricate scenarios to manage tasks such as strategic planning, movement coordination, and interoperability within multi-robot human-centric systems.
Digital twins (DT) and topological scene understanding
A scalable system that uses virtual representations and maps created by robots and drones to give a clear picture of large areas.
HUMAN IN THE LOOP
In TALOS, the “human-in-the-loop” concept refers to the human-robot interactions that will take place through the innovative solutions developed in the project.
TALOS draws on a human-centred approach based on:
- the collection of human requirements that will impact on the technical development;
- end-users participations through a social innovation roadmap, their involvement in test campaigns and in training sessions;
- a comprehensive social impact analysis for each of three demonstration cases
This approach will ensure that the “human-in-the-loop” won’t be overlooked.
