Workshop at ADRF26: Multimodal perception – from mature technologies to industrial deployment

This workshop strongly contributes to ADRF’s real-world deployment and value-creation objectives by demonstrating the convergence of AI, Data, and Robotics in real industrial deployments. Five EU-funded projects are involved in this workshop:

COGNIMAN advances European manufacturing autonomy and Industry 5.0 through human-in-the-loop AI and multimodal sensors for cognitive manufacturing and zero-defect production. iBot4CRMs integrates AI perception and robotic manipulation to recover critical raw materials, strengthening European strategic sovereignty under the Critical Raw Materials Act. MUPSIS and AeroNex leverage advanced perception systems for power grid and infrastructure monitoring, directly enhancing grid infrastructure resilience and energy security across Europe. Across the four projects, the workshop explicitly addresses AI, data, and robotics dimensions of technology uptake, including multimodal sensor data pipelines, annotation scarcity, and sim-to-real transfer gaps, deployment and integration, and operation and maintenance perspectives. The interactive format is designed to extract transferable knowledge from these deployments and engage the broader ADR community in identifying scalable pathways, directly serving the Forum’s mission of advancing industrial translation of ADR technologies. Workshop details: Date and time: 13 October at 17:00 CEST Location: Arrábida room, ADRF, Porto, Portugal
