user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Haptic Signal Processing and Communications'.

assistant: **Innovation**

During the last decade, audio-visual communication has shaped the way humans interact with technical systems or other humans. During the next decade, haptic communication has the potential to further augment human-to-human and human-to-machine interaction. With recent advances in Virtual Reality, Man-Machine Interaction, Telerobotics, Telepresence, and Telemanipulation, the processing and communication of haptic signals are rapidly gaining in relevance and are becoming an enabling technology for many novel fields of application. The objective of this proposal is to investigate fundamental methods and technologies for the efficient processing and communication of haptic signals. We will develop a mathematical model of human haptic perception which will be instrumental in ensuring that introduced distortions stay below human perception thresholds. One of the main goals of this work is to leverage the model of human haptic perception for efficient lossy compression of haptic signal streams. We will study haptic signal processing and communication both from a theoretical point of view but also experimentally by designing, implementing and evaluating haptic interaction testbeds. The performance of the proposed haptic processing and communication methods will be analyzed both objectively and subjectively. With our work plan, we see the opportunity to establish a de facto standard for future haptic data communication.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Structures of membrane transport proteins elucidated by crystallography and protein engineering' under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Research objectives and content The mechanism of solute translocation across biological membranes is a fundamental and unresolved problem of modern biology. I intend to contribute to this field by investigating the structure/functic relationship of the arabinose-H+ symporter from Escherichia cold and the mj1560 multidrug efflux protein from Methanococcus jannaschii. Both proteins are already successfully over expressed in E. cold and canbe purified in satisfactorily amounts necessary for structure determination. Structure elucidation will be performed mainly by crystallization of the proteins in three dimensions followed by X-ray diffraction, but perhaps also in two dimensions followed by electron diffraction. If time permits, structure/function relationships of the arabinose-H+ symporter will be studied using fusions between this protein and the homologous galactose-H+ symporter GalP from E. coli. Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact) With the training in three-dimensional crystallization techniques and the use of other alternative strategic,(e.g. two-dimensional crystallization), the proposed stay in the laboratory of Prof. Henderson will be a natural and very attractive complementation of my existing experimental skills. It will be necessary to have these skills in order to tackle in future the major unresolved problem in the field of membrane biology i.e. the mechanism of solute translocation across biological membranes.

user: Describe how 'The Wood as Time Machine: interdisciplinary approach to study post-medieval human-environment interactions where Atlantic meets the Mediterranean' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Centuries-long societal relations uniting Euro-African territories have modulated the forest history. Grazing and use of wood as an essential material have led to overexploitation of woodlands with lagged environmental problems like deforestation, severe flooding, encroaching deserts and declining ecosystems productivity. These human-environment interactions are well presented in the centre of these linkages, the Strait of Gibraltar, where the legacy of such history has survived in millennial forests and timber in archaeological sites or historical buildings. The project's objectives are: 1) to characterize historical exploitation of forests and its relation with the past forest dynamics using dendrochronology in ancient Andalusian and Moroccan forests 2) to explore the potential of deriving post-medieval ecological and societal changes from archaeological and historical timber 3) to apply emerging proxies (wood traits, DNA, chemical composition) to develop novel tools for identification of timber origin that may explain past human-environment interactions. To achieve these objectives, the project will be implemented in three stages: 1) Collection of ancient trees samples in Baetic mountains and Moroccan Rif and Atlas to analyse the forest history and unlock the wooden archive containing the key for understanding the historical exploitation of resources. Tree-growth chronologies and wood traits will be estimated by wood scanning and measurement of tree-ring widths. 2) The legacy of forest history and wood trade between trans-Mediterranean continents will be analysed through multi-century ring series preserved in archaeological and post-medieval historical wood material. Old buildings will be explored to analyse wood origin in relation to the magnitude of historical use

user: Describe how 'Commercial validation of iPROCELL: a novel modular assembly practice' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

iPROCELL has been developed to meet an identified need to improve for economies of scale within the electric vehicle (EV) production market. The new market we are developing is a world first, sitting between manual manufacturing and full production line assembly. Neither existing solutions are cost effective with the current levels of EVs being produced.Our solution is a fully automated final assembly cell, with 3 autonomous robots situated around a central industry build location. Our main innovation is our method of assembly, the 3 robots work symbiotically to assemble modules into finished products. This design provides a footprint that is 12 times smaller than traditional production lines. We have incorporated our state of the art gripper technology for fully adaptable programmable robotic heads that can accommodate 12 different design options, allowing assembly of small batches in a cost effective manner. Our modular format allows fully flexible manufacturing, appealing to the increasing customer demand for evermore customised products.The high flexibility required to accommodate small series customised products alongside the commercial need to run a cost effective practice is challenging a number of manufacturing industries. When demonstrating the prototype at the Hannover Messe 2015, we received significant interest from a number of industries beyond the EV market including furniture and domestic appliances construction opening further opportunities for us to capitalise on.Forecasted to have a global worth of €184 bn by 2020, the automation solutions industry is growing. During this Phase 2 project we intend to finalised our existing technology ahead of market launch, in order to achieve this we need to: refine the subsystems and software; develop gripper and sen

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Fully automated laser guided inspection robot for weld defect detection on ship hulls' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The European ship fleet counts 23,000 vessels, accounting for the 40% of the global gross tonnage. Marine industry is a major prosperity engine of the EU contributing a total of €147bn to the GDP and supporting more than 1.7m jobs. However, the vessels’ structural integrity verification is a major issue for the shipping industry. Regulations dictate that Non Destructive Testing (NDT) inspections should be performed every 5 years for the first decade of a vessel’s life and every 2.5 years thereafter. Ship hull weld inspection is a challenging process as safety-critical welds length exceeds 120km in large vessels and involves human inspectors on site using scaffolding or cherry-pickers. These procedures require long periods of dry-docking incurring loss of revenue and costs amounting to more than €150k per inspection. Moreover conventional ultrasonic techniques cannot be applied on metal plates of thickness <10mm, which are commonly used nowadays to reduce ship weight. This necessitates the use of dangerous radiographic techniques posing health and safety issues.These challenges give rise to a unique business opportunity which Spectrum Labs and Tecnitest (leading NDT equipment and service providers) along with Innora (dynamic high-tech company specializing in robotics) and TWI (global leader in NDT technology) aspire to seize with the help of Lloyds’ Register, the most reputable shipping service provider with 230 years of experience.We aim to redefine ship NDT inspection by commercializing ShipTest, a laser-guided robotic crawler able to automatically track the weld and inspect the hull while the ship is at sea. Through a combination of bleeding-edge ultrasonic and electromagnetic techniques ShipTest can accurately inspect metal plates of <10mm thickness eliminating the n

user: Draft an impact statement for 'A mathematical approach to the liquid-glass transition: kinetically constrained models, cellular automata and mixed order phase transitions', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

This proposal focuses on the mathematics of three cross-disciplinary, very active and deeply interlaced research themes:  interacting particle systems with kinetic constraints, bootstrap percolation cellular automata and mixed order phase transitions. These topics belong to the fertile area of mathematics at the intersection of probability and mathematical statistical mechanics. They are also extremely important in physics. Indeed they are intimately connected to the fundamental problem of understanding the liquid-glass transition, one of the longstanding open questions in condensed matter physics.The funding of this project will allow the PI to lead a highly qualified team with complementary expertise. Such a diversity  will allow a novel, interdisciplinary and potentially groundbreaking approach. Even if research on each one of the above topics has been lately quite lively, very few exchanges and little cross-fertilization occurred among them. One of our main goals is to overcome the barriers among the three different research communities and to explore the interfaces of these yet unconnected fields. We will open two novel and challenging chapters in the mathematics of interacting particle systems and cellular automata: interacting particle glassy systems and bootstrap percolation models with mixed order critical and discontinuous transitions. In order to achieve our groundbreaking goals we will have to go well beyond the present mathematical knowledge. We believe that the novel concepts and the unconventional  approaches that we will develop will have a deep impact also in other areas including combinatorics, theory of randomized algorithms and complex systems.  The scientific background and expertise of the PI, with original and groundbreaking contributions in each

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'The innovative heat pump boiler to double energy efficiency in heat generation'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Heating today is responsible for 50% of the EU's annual energy consumption. However, a large part of this energy is wasted because almost half of the EU's buildings have boilers installed before 1992, with an efficiency rate of below 60%. Transition has started with the deployment of regulatory measures (Energy Efficiency Directive, Building Energy Efficiency Directive, Energy Labelling Directive, national building codes…) and the prospect of substantial savings in heating and hot water expenses. boostHEAT is positioned right at the front of this transition towards energy efficiency. The company has developed a new generation of boilers, heat pump boilers, that use the heat pump effect to reduce by 50% energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. At the core of this achievement is a novel thermodynamic compressor, which is used to increase the efficiency of the heating cycle. Performance of the Apache boiler can double that of condensing boilers and is competitive with the most efficient electric heat pumpsboostHEAT was founded in 2011 in France. Early on, they received the interest of high profile industry participants. GRDF (main natural gas distribution company in France) and Dalkia (leader in energy services) amongst others. Today boostHEAT employs 32 professionals (of which 22 are engineers), has filled 5 patents all around the word and raised over €4.5 million in private capital. boostHEAT ambition is to progressively become an industrial group. We have reached an agreement with the industrial group Bosch to progressively develop our manufacturing operations at their site in Vénissieux, providing a regeneration opportunity to the declined activity of the factory.The goal of the Apache project is to bring the Apache boilers (20kW) to a state of serial productio

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Hexahedral mesh generation in real time'.

assistant: **Concept**

Over one million finite element analyses are preformed in engineering offices every day and finite elements come with the price of mesh generation. This proposal aims at creating two breakthroughs in the art of mesh generation that will be directly beneficial to the finite element community at large. The first challenge of HEXTREME is to take advantage of the massively multi-threaded nature of modern computers and to parallelize all the aspects of the mesh generation process at a fine grain level. Reducing the meshing time by more than one order of magnitude is an ambitious  objective: if minutes can become seconds, then success in this research would definitively radically change the way in which engineers deal with mesh generation. This project then proposes an innovative approach to overcoming the major difficulty associated with mesh generation: it aims at providing a fast and reliable solution to the problem of conforming hexahedral mesh generation. Quadrilateral meshes in 2D and hexahedral meshes in 3D are usually considered to be superior to triangular/tetrahedral meshes. Even though direct tetrahedral meshing techniques have reached a level of robustness that allow us to treat general 3D domains, there may never exist a direct algorithm for building unstructured hex-meshes in general 3D domains.  In HEXTREME, an indirect approach is envisaged that relies on recent developments in various domains of applied mathematics and computer science such as graph theory, combinatorial optimization or computational geometry. The methodology that is proposed for hex meshing is finally extended to the difficult problem of boundary layer meshing. Mesh generation is one important step of the engineering analysis process. Yet, a mesh is a tool and not an aim. A specific task of

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Applications and Hardware for Photonic Quantum Information Processing' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

AppQInfo will provide a world class training in photonic Quantum Information Processing (pQIP), and prepare an excellent cohort of Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) to become the future R&D staff of Europe’s emerging markets in this area. Quantum Information Processing (QIP) is a key ingredient in Europe’s future Quantum Communication Infrastructure; it underpins quantum communications and quantum simulations, the first two pillars of the H2020 Quantum Flagship. QIP will revolutionise information technology, providing higher quality, speed and unconditional security, not possible with classical technologies. AppQInfo focusses on QIP in state-of-the-art integrated photonics, one of five Key Enabling Technologies for European Industry. Integrated photonics permits the creation, manipulation and readout of photonic quantum states in a highly controlled manner, with high speeds and low losses. The broad objectives of AppQInfo are: to create an excellent training of ESRs in the field of pQIP that is both interdisciplinary and intersectoral; to develop innovative, entrepreneurial ESRs with great career prospects; to maximise the exploitation and dissemination of our research; to engage the public through several outreach activities; to consolidate a wide expertise in the field of pQIP; to create a long-lasting collaboration network of top-class research units and industrial entities. Together, our 15 interdisciplinary research projects will work towards feasible long-distance quantum communications from urban-scale networks to satellite-based systems using various data encoding;  study quantum photonic circuits towards their quantum transport properties and quantum transforms they implement; exploit these platforms for machine learning applications, such as building all-optical

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Fourth Framework proposal for the project 'Developing an instrument for the measurement and study of neighbourhood attachment and the sense of community in European cities'.

assistant: **Objectives**

This research project aims to develop an instrument that can comprehensively measure neighbourhood attachment and sense of community in European cities in different urban situations and different cultural contexts. This will provide a useful tool for all those striving to improve the quality of life and enhance social cohesion in urban areas. Using the methodology of scale development and cross-cultural research, the instrument - a questionnaire - will measure the individuals' subjective feelings about their neighbourhood as a physical space; the residents' social involvement in neighbourhood life; the social and economic commitments that individuals have to their neighbourhood; and the sense of community that exists within the neighbourhood. The instrument will be tested in ten carefully selected neighbourhoods in the United Kingdom and Greece. Following statistical analysis, the findings and implications of the research will be disseminated to a wide audience of academics, practitioners and policy-makers.
