Deliverable D7.4


Executive Summary The act of targeted distribution of information is of extreme importance in research and development projects, as it is a necessary step in enforcing a successful utilization of the developed technologies.

Moreover, the dissemination of scientific information can act as a way of fostering the path to a well accomplished market introduction and exploitation of the project results, in the sense that the innovation introduced at a project such as this is a significant push to a multitude of scientific areas.

During the duration of the ScalABLE4.0 project, several measures are being taken to promote the dissemination of the scientific results, not only to the academic community, through the publication of important advancements over the state of the art in peer reviewed publications, but also with the awareness generated by the presence of the project developments in scientific workshops and conferences.

Also, due to the intrinsic industrial character of the project, a considerable effort is being put into the dissemination of the results and practices to industrial partners and potential end-users.

The goal of this document is to provide an initial overview of the dissemination of scientific material towards academia and industry.

Introduction

2.1. Scope and objectives

This document aims to report the developments regarding task 7.3: “Dissemination of Results” towards academia and industry. The main objectives of this task are:

to ensure dissemination of results towards research, education/training and industry;

to create visibility for the proposed project and advance dissemination in coherent fashion beyond the level of individual publication and presentation;

to promote the results developed within the project and;

to support the exploitation of IPR.

2.2. Document Organization

The document is divided as follows:

Chapter 3 presents the dissemination activities performed towards academia, not only in the form of scientific publications in peer reviewed journals, but also in presentations and workshops conducted in international scientific conferences and events such as competitions.

Chapter 4 gives an overview of the efforts performed in terms of dissemination of project results to the industry, in the form of press articles, presence in trade fairs, and also conferences and workshops with an industrial related audience.

Chapter 5 describes some communication material and activities that support the dissemination of the results.

ARIAC Competition

The Agile Robotics for Industrial Automation Competition (ARIAC) addresses a critical limitation of robots used in industrial environments like factory floors: they are not as agile as they need to be. Many robots are not able to quickly detect failures or recover from those failures. They aren’t able to sense changes in their environment and modify their actions accordingly. Programming these robots for even the simplest tasks takes time and effort. The ARIAC is a simulation-based competition designed to promote agility in industrial robot systems by utilizing the latest advances in artificial intelligence and robot planning. The goal is to enable industrial robots on the shop floors to be more productive, more autonomous, and more responsive to the needs of shop floor workers. Since the competition is held virtually, there is no need to travel to compete. The competition uses the Gazebo simulation tool.

The SkiROS system, further developed in this project by AAU, was used in the ARIAC competition. The partners reach 3rd place in the final competition. To reach this result, three days were spent for qualification, and 7 days were spent during the finals.

Communication Activities In order to support the dissemination, the consortium also improved the communication tools and activities.

The ScalABLE4.0 project already has a website and is present at some social media, such as Twitter and LinkedIn, as described in the deliverable 8.1.

In the meantime, a flyer (Figure 6) was created, as well as a roll-up (Figure 7) to be disseminated during conferences, workshops or trade fairs as seen in Figure 2 and Figure 3, for example.

A youtube channel of the project has also been created to publish some results of the project and also the video explaining the concept of the project that is being designed.

6.1. Website Numbers

The ScalABLE4.0 website is online since April 2017. Since then the website had 6271 sessions where 86% where from new visitors and 14% from returning visitors. As seen in Figure 8, the visitors are concentrated in Europe.

Six news were published in our website and some events related to the project, such as meetings and workshops, have be updated. These pages accounted 176 visits.

6.2. Social Media Numbers

Table 5 and Table 6 show the Twitter and LinkedIn activity of the ScalABLE4.0 profiles. The LinkedIn page was changed due to some internal problems, so the official page is only online since the beginning of 2018.

Conclusions The dissemination activities carried out by the partners are an important mean to increase the impact of research. In the first year and a half of projected, the partners had opportunity to present project results through scientific presentations and publications. Moreover, the partners had a considerably active in industrial fairs, accounting 14 presences in different types of trade fairs.

The ScalABLE4.0 partners are committed to continue the dissemination of results whether towards academia or industry and expect to create a greater impact with the demonstration of the final project results at automatica 2020.

In addition, more communication tools and activities will boost these dissemination activities, such as the video explaining the vision of the project that is being created.
