user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Clearing Clutter Bit by Bit' (SQUIRREL).

assistant: **Innovation**

Clutter in an open world is a challenge for many aspects of robotic systems, especially for autonomous robots deployed in unstructured domestic settings, affecting navigation, manipulation, vision, human robot interaction and planning.<br/>SQUIRREL addresses these issues by actively controlling clutter and incrementally learning to extend the robot's capabilities while doing so. We term this the B3 (bit by bit) approach, as the robot tackles clutter one bit at a time and also extends its knowledge continuously as new bits of information become available.SQUIRREL is inspired by a user driven scenario, that exhibits all the rich complexity required to convincingly drive research, but allows tractable solutions with high potential for exploitation. We propose a toy cleaning scenario, where a robot learns to collect toys scattered in loose clumps or tangled heaps on the floor in a child's room, and to stow them in designated target locations.<br/>We will advance science w.r.t. manipulation, where we will incrementally learn grasp affordances with a dexterous hand; segmenting and learning objects and object category models from a cluttered scene; localisation and navigation in a crowded and changing scene based on incrementally built 3D environment models; iterative task planning in an open world; and engaging with multiple users in a dynamic collaborative task.<br/>Progress will be measured in scenarios of increasing complexity, starting with known object classes, via incremental learning of objects and grasp affordances to the full system with failure recovery and active control of clutter, instantiated on two different robot platforms.Systems will be evaluated at an end user site where children in nurseries teach the robot how to clean up, and will be exploited by an indu

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Novel Lifesaving Magnetic Tentacles' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The aim of this project is to characterize fundamental principles at the intersection of robotics, magnetics, manufacturing and medicine, which will enable intelligent tentacle-like robots to augment the capabilities of surgeons in reaching deep into the human anatomy through complex winding pathways and treat inoperable diseases.Magnetic tentacle robots, proposed here for the first time, have the potential to be thin, extremely soft and scalable, and to conform to curvilinear trajectories by leveraging magnetic control over their entire length. The surgeon needing to access difficult to reach targets such as peripheral nodules in the lungs, small diseased blood vessels and regions deep inside the brain, will be able to design personalised tentacles and fabricate them on demand.My world-leading research team in surgical robotics–to be further consolidated by this grant–will define and explore new robotic architectures, as well as the design and fabrication processes integral to this novel concept. Proprioceptive sensing, combined with mathematical models, will enable intelligent robotic control. Robotic assistance will be context dependent, ranging from joystick-based operation to autonomous control along pre-planned trajectories. An integrated design environment will help systematise and streamline implementation.The research programme consists of four work packages: 1) Robotic architectures and models; 2) Intelligence and control; 3) Rapid design, simulation and synthesis; and 4) Multi-scale experimental evaluation, embracing different scenarios where control over the entire body of the robot is crucial: lung biopsy, cardiovascular interventions and neurosurgery.This interdisciplinary research will strengthen Europe’s position in medical robotics and improve public he

user: Describe how 'Towards On-Chip Plasmonic Amplifiers of THz Radiation' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Thirty years ago Dyakonov and Shur opened a new field in solid-state physics and electronics - plasma-wave electronics. They theoretically predicted that: i) in nano-transistors, plasma waves may oscillate at THz frequencies far beyond the devices’ cut-off GHz frequencies, ii) THz radiation can be detected by plasma nonlinearities, and iii) the current flow can lead to the generation of THz radiation. The detection part of the “plasmonics promise” was proven and nowadays THz plasmonic detector arrays are widely used. In the case of emitters, the task turned out to be considerably more complicated. Only recently (PRX 10, 031004, 2020; with my team’s participation) room temperature, current-driven amplification of incoming THz radiation has been demonstrated in an innovative double grating gate structures based on graphene, one of the most promising materials for plasmonics. These break-through results indicate that existing models of plasmonic systems should be reconsidered and that using new 2D materials or their heterojunctions with innovative geometries, may lead “Towards on-chip plasmonics amplifiers of THz radiation”, which is TERAPLASM’s main objective. The experimental methodology will involve fabrication and THz spectroscopy studies of graphene and alternative-to-graphene unique HgTe and GaN-based systems with a high mobility 2D electron gas. This will allow finding the physical mechanisms responsible for the observed THz plasmonic amplification and select the optimum systems for THz devices. In parallel, theoretical research will develop physical models of THz plasmonic amplification studied in the experimental part of the project. By conducting extensive technological, spectroscopic, and theoretical research TERAPLASM will aim to answer the old basic physics an

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Fifth Framework proposal on 'Using on the fly dynamics" to model electron transfer processes"'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The aim of this proposal is the study of the dynamics of electron transfer. This process is ubiquitous in biological (photosynthetic reaction, respiratory chain), physical (conductor materials ) and chemical systems. Initially, we will interest in gas phase electron transfer systems but the longer term target is to model the electron transfer in solid state. The hybrid MM.VB (Molecular Mechanics - Valence Bond) method that allows for non-adiabatic dynamics simulations on large systems, will be extend to the electron transfer processes. The methodological developments involve the derivation of the VB model and new parameterizations based on CASSCF computations. This will be followed by on the fly dynamics" simulations on molecular systems of experimental and theoretical Interest. A large amount of data is available for several radical ions. Some of them can be viewed as simple models for solid state electron transfers (recently the MM- YB type approach has been extended to the solid state).The goal of the project is to establish new methodology that can be used to model electron transfer processes. In a future work, the method could be used in a different framework where the MM part will be replaced by a force field of biological relevance."

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Superconducting Spintronics for Highly Energery Efficient Cryogenic Memory Applications' (SUPERSPIN), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

The dissipation of heat in traditional silicon (CMOS) based electronics is a major source of inefficiency and environmental impact. Superconductors are, by nature, dissipationless. Computing via logic circuits based on Josephson junctions is also faster, but the largest remaining problem is the lagging development of low-temperature memory. To achieve the promised efficiency increases of these computers requires a new type of low-temperature memory architecture.Traditionally considered competing phenomena, when artificially juxtaposed a wealth of physics at the interface between superconductors and ferromagnets emerges. Spin-polarised Cooper pairs are capable of surviving inside a ferromagnet over much longer distances than the regular (spin-singlet, anti-parallel) pairs. This new type of Cooper pair is the building block for super-spintronics; leading to a dissipationless spin-current combined with spintronic devices.Europe risks being left behind by large US research efforts such as the IARPA C3 programme. SUPERSPIN will take advantage of spin-polarised Cooper pairs for the promising application of cryogenic memory, where information can be stored by either the state of the system (superconducting or normal), or in the phase difference between superconductors across a Josephson junction. The outgoing host Prof. Birge is the world leading expert in ferromagnetic Josephson junction devices for cryogenic memory application. The fellow will be fully integrated in his IARPA C3 funded laboratories and through the SUPERSPIN programme, of exploring candidate materials systems and developing prototypical devices, will acquire all the skills and knowledge necessary to develop these exciting advances to application the E.U. during the return phase of the project.Through SUPERSPI

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'A novel desiccant cooling system using needle impeller rotors' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Innovation**

The objective of the proposed research is to investigate a novel air conditioning system based on desiccant technology. The proposed system will use needle-impeller rotors, instead of conventional desiccant wheels, to increase heat and mass transfer in the absorber and evaporator units and reduce manufacturing cost. A novel heat recovery unit based on heat pipe technology and a novel absorbent will be employed to enhance the performance of the system. The research programme will involve computer modelling of the system, testing a small-scale rig and design, construction and testing of a prototype system. The consortium is highly complementary and multi-disciplinary as a result of its combination of the efforts of the manufacturing companies (Isoterix Ltd, Green Refrigeration Ltd, EFACEC Ambiente, S.A.), building services companies (Sulzer Infra Ltd, Beacon Energy Limited), and the research expertise of the universities (University of Nottingham, Helsinki University of Technology, University of Oporto). The partners are drawn from four European Countries; i.e., UK, Italy, Portugal and Switzerland. The proposed system will be further developed into a commercial product by the industrial partners if the research and development project indicates the system to be viable. The proposed research will benefit several industries including air-conditioning and refrigeration, chemical, manufacturing and building services. The market potential for the proposed system within the EU is expected to be substantial and a large demand for this type of product in the U.S.A., Middle East, Far East and Africa is also predicted. This would of course be important for EU exports and increasing the world market share for EU industry. The system is expected to find a substantial market in the Me

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Functional Redundancy of the Global Ocean Microbiome', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

This proposal relates to a recent debate of microbiology. Functional redundancy supposes that many taxa can realize the same functions. In this scenario, the composition of microbial communities could appear as a bad predictor of their effects on ecosystems. Functional redundancy among microbes has been suggested but also disproven, growing in a limiting debate for microbiology. Our project proposes an overview of microbial functions to answer to this debate. The innovation in our project consists in studying the ecology and redundancy of functions inferred by various methods. We will use state-of-the art microbiome datasets that spans the global ocean, enabling to study the impact of geographic scales on redundancy. The host and the candidate will bring together their complementary expertise on omics, statistics, microbes’ morphology, nutrition and interactions to compare for the first time the functionality of all microbial domains across the global ocean. Inferred functions will be analyzed against microbial taxonomy, environmental selection from abiotic variables and dispersal across the ocean to study their redundancy and ecological patterns. Novel cross-disciplinary tools will be developed that will expand the outreach of our project to research in omics (e.g. bioinformatics, computational biology), biogeochemistry, modelling, evolution or global changes. Morpho-trophic features of protistan taxa will be collected into a novel database that will represent their functional diversity. Finally, an innovative functional characterization of ecological networks will be developed to unveil the interplay between microbial interaction networks and environmental conditions.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Inferring patterns of ancestral whole genome duplications (paleopolyploidy) in chelicerates'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Whole genome duplication (WGD) is a drastic event that results in the creation of new genetic material and has been suggested to play a major role in evolutionary innovations and adaptation. While ancestral WGDs (paleoploidizations) are common in plants, only a handful examples have been proposed in animals, such as in vertebrates or salmons. Among invertebrates, WGD events have been inferred in chelicerates, an arthropod clade including marine and terrestrial groups – the arachnids. Specifically, a shared event in the common ancestor of spider and scorpions, and up to 3 independent rounds in the marine horseshoe crabs. However, many of these inferences are mostly based on evidence from few loci, such as Hox genes, with a recent study questioning the validity of these conclusions. Therefore, genome-wide investigations with a diverse taxon sampling may help to answer how many paleoploidization events have taken place in chelicerates.The CheliPloidy project will investigate the signals of WGD in chelicerates using newly assembled complete genome encompassing most of their diversity. Importantly, no study has considered that return to diploidy may have happened at different intervals (delayed rediploidization), scenario compatible with the different gene histories seen in the group. We will employ multiple state-of-the-art methods and develop novel ones to look for these signals. For example, we will analyse thousands of gene families trees, assess their synteny, and compare signals of divergence among within-species paralogs (including ohnologs derived from the WGD). As the phylogeny of chelicerates is contentious, we will test the most likely scenarios –alternative backbone trees– to polarize patterns of WGD (how many and which are shared).

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'ECaBox ""Eyes in a Care Box"": Regenerating human retina from resuscitated cadaveric eyes""' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

In the last decade, basic and translational research dramatically expanded the development of new drug and regenerative therapies. Nevertheless, numerous potential therapies end up in the “valley of death” due to high attrition rates of preclinical development. More cost-effective preclinical research is needed to support radically new therapeutic interventions (e.g. regenerative medicine). Yet, preclinical research still lacks adequate models of human organs and even though human organoids approaches are a major step forward in mimicking physiological conditions, they fail to reflect the overall tissue physiology and complexity.  To address this demand, we aim to develop a revolutionary platform, the ECaBox (Eyes in a Care Box) to resuscitate the human cadaveric eye while ensuring eye function and structure ex vivo for an unmatched time-period. This new technology will challenge current paradigms of testing the efficacy and safety of regenerative therapies ex vivo. We will therefore, explore the potential of this forefront technology by testing a regenerative therapy approach for retina degeneration.  Currently, human eyes can be kept at 4ºC for 2 days before going massive and irreversible cell and tissue damage. Human dissected retinae from cadaveric eyes can be preserved for maximum 1 week and non-vascularised human eye organoids fail to recapitulate the vascular and tissue systems. Hence, ECaBox will be a disruptive technology with a tremendous impact allowing to: 1) resuscitate human eyes to test human eye therapies ex vivo, 2) bypass major ethical restrictions of human experimentation, 3) serve as a proof of concept to develop therapies also in other organs preserved ex vivo and 4) transform the existing organ transplantation field. This is a highly interdisciplin
