In less than ten years, our society may experience a leap in technology within the robotics sector, converting Europe into a world robot supplier and user.

In 2010, a group of ten research institutions and universities within the European Union put forward to the European Commission a science-driven proposal titled RCC, Robots Companions for Citizens, with the acronym CA-Robocom, to participate in the FET flagship initiative.

With certainty, the RCC project will bring many of our readers deep memories of the famous writer Isaac Asimov's masterpiece “I, Robot” published in 1941 (it was converted into a film in 2004), as its main goal is as in Asimov’s novel, to provide our society with interactive robots that will become assistants of humans in many fields.

I will write my essay based on the approved pilot presented to the Commission in 2011 and explains the main goals that professionals involved in the development of RCC need to make a reality in order to achieve the final completion of this project.

ICRT, Information Communications and Robotics Technology

Professionals in the disciplines of science, life sciences, engineering, robotics, and ethics will play a central role in transforming the actual ICT platform into what is known as ICRT, Information Communications and Robotics Technology and at the same time their target will be to place Europe in the lead of Robotics in a period of ten years..
