Common use of Scenarios Clause in Contracts

Scenarios. Three scenarioswere identified which are both scientifically challenging and com- mercially relevant. They represent comprehensive sets of challenges in an illus- trative way, so that robotics experts can easily relate their own research to them. The scenarios build on each other. – The first scenario of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is the human-robot co-worker. In this scenario, the traditional idea of pre-programmed robots was dropped, and the robot interacts with a human towards achieving a common goal. This scenario is especially relevant for future industrial applications, where the (physical or sensor-based) fences between robots and humans disappear. – The second scenario is the hyper-flexible cells scenario. This scenario envisages not only one or more highly dexterous and cooperative robots, but also the hardware and software integration of the robots with an automatic warehouse system and the other devices present in the cell. – The third scenario is the cognitive factory. This scenario aimed at taking the classical concept of the flexible manufacturing systems to a new level. The final goal is to create environments which configure themselves and are fault-tolerant, and which contain autonomous robots jointly participating in the production process with their human counterparts.
