RICAP at ADRF2024

Join us for the second edition of AI, Data and Robotics Forum (ADRF) on 4-5 November 2025 in the Evoluon, Eindhoven (the Netherlands). Immerse yourself in visionary keynotes, thought-provoking panels, and parallel sessions with industry leaders, researchers, and policymakers covering critical industrial and societal topics. This must-attend event will be organised by the AI, Data and Robotics Association (Adra) in collaboration with the European Commission and local host AiNed with the support of the Adra-e project.

In terms of intense scientific networking and building new relationships, as the Gold Sponsor, RICAIP is delighted to be in Eindhoven to take part in the rich programme of this key event that brings together the diverse AI, Data and Robotics community across Europe.

Day 2: Tuesday 5 November 2024

2nd adra-e cross-project workshop “ADR Convergence in Advanced Industrial Production

Joint workshop aimed at raising awareness of RTD initiatives in the ADR domains with the aim to discuss joint research priorities.
Date: 05 Nov 2024 | 10.45 – 12.15
Location: Venus room

Organiser: Andrey Girenko – DFKI GmbH
Speakers:

• Tilman Becker | RICAIP Director, Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics and Cybernetics;
• Kosmas Alexopoulos | Laboratory for Manufacturing Systems and Automation LMS, University of Patras;
• Sergio Gusmeroli | Politecnico di Milano, MADE – Competence Center Industria 4.0

The goal of the workshop is to contribute towards the dialogue between the ADR research communities and to discuss the joint research priorities in the area of Advanced Industrial Production technologies. This application area is in focus of 4 existing ADRA Topic groups and represents the societal challenge where the convergence of AI, Big Data and Robotics is a reality today and a promise of tomorrow.

The workshop will include orientation presentations from the areas of AI (provisionally, by ADRA Topic group “Generative AI for Manufacturing), Data (BDVA Smart Manufacturing Industries Working Group) and Robotics (euRobotics), continued with brainstorming on joint research priorities. Feedback will be provided to ADRA.

Exhibition Area

RICAIP exhibition booth with Human-Robot Collaboration demonstration

A RICAIP demonstrator developed by Deutsches Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz (DFKI) and the teams of our collaborating testbed in Saarbrücken.
Our DFKI colleagues will showcase how remote control of a robot arm via a digital twin using mixed-reality technology, robot training via neural network, and learning by demonstration works.

The theme of the 2024 edition of ADRF will be European Sovereignty in AI, Data and Robotics. Innovation and competitiveness are drivers for Europe’s growth as a thought-leader, a global collaborator and progressive player in developing responsible ADR technologies. European sovereignty relies on a robust digital economy where Europe leads globally in technological standards and practices, while derisking its digital infrastructure from external dependencies.

The program contains visionary keynotes and thought-provoking panels on European sovereignty in ADR, as well as a series of parallel sessions on key industrial and societal topics. It also provides the AI, Data, Robotics community with the opportunity to highlight emerging topics and gather critical mass to drive them forward. Furthermore, the event is about sharing and connecting through an exhibition and poster displays throughout the event, and there will be opportunities for businesses and projects to present themselves.

Connect and Innovate

ADRF24 facilitates the convergence and synergies between stakeholder communities to move the European AI, Data and Robotics agenda forward. We aim to jointly identify opportunities for Europe to globally position itself as a competitive player, by bringing ADR communities together and discussing opportunities, strategies, research and deployment of these technologies for European industry and society. Participation will provide numerous opportunities for networking, and showcasing businesses and projects through exhibitions and poster displays. Connect with like-minded professionals, share insights, and explore potential collaborations to drive the future of AI, Data, and Robotics.

Join the ADR Forum: empowering a sustainable European ecosystem

Join us at the ADR Forum to connect with like-minded professionals, discover emerging trends, and contribute to shaping a sustainable, effective, and coherent European AI, Data, and Robotics ecosystem. Together, we will pave the way for responsible AI-powered digital transformation, aligned with European values, and aimed at creating a prosperous, secure, and resilient multicultural society.

Be part of this transformative journey. We look forward to welcoming you to the ADR Forum as we collectively explore the endless possibilities of AI, Data, and Robotics and their potential to shape a brighter future for all.
