user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Generalized bin picking system for automatic handling of unsorted parts in industrial applications' (2014-2020).

assistant: **Concept**

This project is based on developing a generic and universal bin picking solution enabling industrial robots to see,find and grip components randomly placed in bins.In contrast to traditional approaches,our innovative approach boosts the perception performance to a manufacturing level by locating the sensor in the robot’s gripper.The technical innovative aspects of this solution comprise:Use of intelligent and adaptive exploration trajectories;Use of hundreds of images of the scene;Estimation of robot encoders permitting a robot independent solutionOur universal bin picking solution (for any robot and any part) will cover Spanish’s 3% market in the first 2 years and gradually extend its coverage to Europe.We have signed two strategic alliances with two world’s leading robot manufacturers to jointly provide bin picking solutions.This is due to the universality of our bin picking solutionRobot cell builders are our primary customers since they manufacture automated lines.The current lack of a reliable competitive bin picking solution implies that robot cell builders must develop their own custom solutions,which is not always possible since it requires of highly skilled computer vision abilities.Our product will be crucial for robot cell builders to spot new robot cell users generating new markets and solving customer needsOur goal is to bring our universal bin picking solution from its present TRL6 demonstrator to TRL9 competitive in manufacturing ready to market product.SME instrument phase 1 aims to determine the technological,practical and economic viability of our business idea,together with the resources needed to implement it.This study must assure the success of the business idea.The financial needs to achieve a final TRL9 product (phase 2) are 1.5M€We expect to dev

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Biomimetic eXtremely-Birefringent Organic Optical Materials and devices' in the context of a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Man-made organic optics relies almost exclusively on amorphous polymers. These cheap, readily processable and highly versatile materials, however, offer a relatively low refractive index, dramatically limiting their ability to generate the high-index contrast necessary for producing scattering layers, photonic crystals and efficient dielectric reflectors. We here propose to establish a new class of novel organic crystalline optical materials and devices by drawing inspiration from the highly birefringent high-index organic molecular crystals nature has to offer, such as those found in  dielectric reflectors, photonic crystals and photonic glasses that take part in structural coloration and vision. The crystal structure of these materials, is based on a planar arrangement of hydrogen bonded molecules, which are weakly bound by van-der Waals bonds and weaker hydrogen bonding. The BoX-BOOM project aims to identify new cheap, functional and environmentally benign organic crystalline optical materials inspired by this structural motif, exhibited in biological systems, and to develop ways to grow them in a controllable manner as thin films using surface guided growth. The grown material will in turn be used in new types of optical elements and devices for a broad range of applications such as flat polarization optics, transparent dielectric metamaterials and birefringent volume holograms, all exploiting the high index and extreme birefringence of these materials. Work performed within the BoX-BOOM project will also shed light on the relationship between crystal structure and optical properties of this family of materials, setting the stage for identification of new high-index organic crystalline compounds and a range of applications taking advantage of this new thin-film opti

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Bridging effect assessment of mixtures to ecosystem situations and regulation' (BEAM).

assistant: **Innovation**

Problems to be solvedBEAM addresses the risk assessment of chemical mixtures resulting from the joint occurrence of environmental pollutants. Despite extensive research into this field current procedures for the prospective or retrospective assessment of chemical risks still focus on single pure toxicants.The incorporation of existing scientific evidences on the predictability of combination effects into regulatory strategies is hampered by two crucial gaps:· There is too little knowledge available at the stage of risk assessment on how to use existing toxicity information for single substances in order to account for expectable combination effects.· There is a lack of environmental realism in the existing scientific approaches to the assessment of mixture toxicities regarding both, the types of mixtures actually occurring and the suitability of methods for the purpose of a routine assessment. BEAM seeks to bridge both gaps. Thereby a sound basis for the inclusion of mixture toxicity assessments into EU-regulations (e.g. Water Framework Directive) shall be provided.Scientific objectives and approachThe objectives of BEAM are:· to achieve more environmental realism in the scientific hazard assessment of complex exposure situations,· to provide new tools for mixture toxicity assessment,· to explore the options for implementation of predictive mixture toxicity assessment into regulation. In an interdisciplinary effort BEAM will use expertise and methods from biometry, chemometry, analytical chemistry, experimental ecotoxicity research, mixture pharmacology and regulatory toxicology.BEAM will deliver:· a compilation of available and optional strategies in regulating risks from mixtures of toxicants,· validated bio tests, chemo metrical and biometrical instruments that allow

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Robust Generative Information Retrieval' (UNITE) under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Objectives**

Generative information retrieval is an emerging paradigm that replaces the traditional index-then-retrieve pipeline by encoding all information about a document collection in the parameters of a model. The retrieval task is then formalized as a sequence-to-sequence learning problem, making it possible to optimize the system end-to-end. This enables optimization towards a broad range of goals, not just short-term utility ones but also broader long-term objectives, such as fairness and diversity.Trustworthiness is a prerequisite for the development, deployment, and use of AI-based systems. With UNITE I propose a technical agenda to understand how we can build warranted trust in generative information retrieval while reaping the benefits of the potential this paradigm promises for optimizing for goals beyond short-term utility.My methodological innovations will be based on advancing the foundations of generative information retrieval and a synthesis of generative information retrieval with reinforcement learning, capturing the sequential and interactive nature of retrieval, thus offering a principled way to deal with long-term goals. These advances will be pursued along three lines where generative information retrieval needs to uphold verifiable guarantees: accuracy, including well-defined and explained contexts of usage; reliability, including exhibiting parity with respect to sensitive attributes; and resilience to distributional shifts and adversarial examples. I will also study ways to probe generative information retrieval methods to aid explainability, reproducibility, and safety. We will demonstrate the utility of our new methodologies on tasks of great societal value: news search and recommendation, and information retrieval for climate impact.While adventurous, U

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Developing innovative human-computer interfaces for interactive media art, edutainment and mobile communications' (2002-2006) under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Currently available interface technology for human computer interaction (=HCI) often comes with a pre-defined set of interaction modalities. For interactive media art, edutainment and entertainment applications on the other hand, innovative and surprising interaction experiences are becoming increasingly important when the artist aims to capture the audiences' attention and emotion. To construct and design intuitive interactive media art experiences, it is therefore often necessary to develop novel-in-house hardware interfaces that combined with custom-designed software structures propose novel technical as well as metaphorical content.My research topic compromises the development of innovative human-computer interfaces for interactive art, that range from multi-modal interaction systems, to the use of un-encumbered interfaces and the development of non-verbal communication systems. In the past twelve years I have researched and developed various interactive technologies for interactive art, capturing and translating for example the users' touch, voice, speech, vision and movement data and using them as primary interaction input for my interactive art systems. I plan to further develop multi-sensory media art experiences, and to extend the boundaries of currently available HCI technologies by constructing and developing novel hardware and software technology that benefit and empower novel interactive media art experiences.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'High-Modulation, High-Efficiency and Low Emission Boilers for Household Application Based on Pre-Mixed Catalytic Burner' under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The major objectives of the project are:a) at least a 20% reduction of non-renewable usage and CO2 emissions for apartment heating and hot-water production by developing a high-modulation boiler (>10:1 turndown ratio, accomplished through an innovative electroically controlled bruner-feed system) based on pre-mixed catalytic burner;b) a boler market price below 1500 Euro to have good exploitation chances;c) each boiler component (burner included) should be designed to withstand 35,000 hrs under real-life operating conditions;d) NOx emissions <10 mb/kWh and negligible HC and CO emissions over the entire modulation range, due to the catalytic burner and the gas-sensor-driven control system. The catalysts must be better than commercial ones in terms of high-temperature and sulftur resisitance thereby enabling the above mentioned lifetime.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Improvement of wood product properties by increased hydrophobicity obtained by the use of silicon compounds' in the context of a Fifth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The new implemented Biocide Products Directive and future restriction of toxic preservatives will reduce the overall use of biocides. The proposed project aims to develop silicon based hydrophobisation treatments in improve wood properties in many respect, such as improved dimensional stability, durability against bio-organisms, applicability of various components to fit-to-purpose end-uses. These treated and hydrophobic components will be safe to handle, environmentally acceptable and are not producing hazardous waste. The expected results are better understanding of preventing mechanisms and promotion of the use of hydrophobisited European grown softwood instead of tropical hardwoods for value-added markets.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Mechanics-augmented brain surgery' (MAGERY).

assistant: **Innovation**

This project aims at revolutionising the treatment of brain disorders through mechanics-augmented brain surgery (MAGERY). Due to the ultrasoft nature of brain tissue, surgical procedures have exceptionally high requirements for minimal invasiveness and maximal safety. During the procedure, brain tissue largely deforms and is easily loaded beyond its functional tolerance. A promising technology to improve surgical outcomes is to integrate virtual information either through immersed virtual reality (VR) in training and planning or through augmented reality (AR) overlaying virtual information with the surgeons real view. Despite rapid advances, to date, most VR/AR solutions have disregarded the complex region-dependent mechanical properties of brain tissue and mechanics-induced cell dysfunction or death. The MAGERY project will follow a new paradigm by focusing on brain mechanics. We imply that we can minimise unnecessary brain tissue damage by integrating continuum mechanics-based simulations into VR/AR solutions. Realising this objective will require to combine state-of-the-art approaches in live cell imaging, nonlinear continuum mechanics, and computational engineering. The applicant and the MAGERY team will for the first time perform simultaneous large-strain mechanical measurements and multiphoton microscopy, and, through modelling and simulations, identify thresholds for tissue and cell damage under complex three-dimensional loadings. By merging simulation results and VR/AR techniques, this project strives towards real-time predictions of brain tissue deformation and corresponding damage. With her pioneering role in testing and modelling the complex behaviour of human brain tissue, the applicant has excellent prerequisites to tackle these challenges.If successful, th

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Percolating Entanglement and Quantum Information Resources through Quantum Networks', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Quantum communication networks consist of several nodes that are connected by quantum channels. By exchanging quantum particles, the nodes share quantum correlations, also know as entanglement. Essential for the future development of quantum communication is to understand the design of efficient protocols for the distribution of entanglement between arbitrarily distant nodes. The main objective of the present proposal is to construct the theory of entanglement distribution through quantum networks. At present, very little is known about this fundamental problem, namely about which properties of a quantum network are required to be able to establish entanglement over large distances. Very recently, we have proved that the distribution of entanglement through quantum networks defines a new type of critical phenomenon, an entanglement phase transition called entanglement percolation. These surprising effects do not appear in the standard repeater configuration previously considered. Crucial for the construction of these examples is the use of concepts already known in statistical mechanics, such as percolation. Our scope is to go far beyond these proof-of principle examples and derive the general theoretical framework describing entanglement percolation, exploiting the connection between statistical concepts and entanglement theory. The obtained framework will also be applied to other information resources, such as secret bits. Then, the ultimate aim of the project is to provide a global picture of the distribution of quantum information resources over realistic quantum communication networks.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Mechanical basis for motor protein coordination in axenomes leading to the beating of cilia and flagella' (2007-2013) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Cilia and flagella are highly conserved cell organelles that exhibit regular, serpentine beating motions. Each cilium and flagellum contains a motile organelle called an axoneme, which is comprised of an array of microtubules, dynein motor proteins, and accessory proteins. Recent studies have led to the hypothesis that intrinsic mechanical and mechanochemical properties of the dyneins provide the feedback and coordination necessary for the regular beating pattern of cilia and flagella. The objective of this project is to test this mechanical coordination hypothesis. The proposal takes an interdisciplinary approach, bringing together experiments and theory and using analytical tools from informatics, biochemistry, biomechanics, and mechanical engineering. Specifically, the proposal aims to measure the motor properties of individual molecules and small ensembles of dyneins using optical tweezers. These measurements will be used to evaluate the state of the art models of axoneme beating, confirming or rejecting the dynein coordination hypotheses on which they are based. The measured motor properties of dynein will be used to build a new model of the axoneme from the “bottom-up.” The principle advantage of this model over the existing models is that, rather than showing that a set of theoretical molecular properties can fit experimental data on whole flagella, it will specifically account for the measured molecular details of the axoneme. The ability of the “bottom up” model to predict experimentally acquired flagellar beat patterns will be compared to models from the literature. This project will be part of an increasing number of studies on the role mechanics and forces have on biology at the cell level. It will not only further our understanding of dynein coordination an

user: Explain how 'From surrogate hemodynamics-based fMRI towards direct functional imaging of neural activity via sensing activity-induced cell swellings and neurotransmitter releases in vivo' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

Functional-Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) has transformed our understanding of brain function due to its ability to noninvasively tag ‘active’ brain regions. Nevertheless, fMRI only detects neural activity indirectly, by relying on slow hemodynamic couplings whose relationships with underlying neural activity are not fully known. We have recently pioneered two unique MR approaches: Non-Uniform Oscillating-Gradient Spin-Echo (NOGSE) MRI and Relaxation Enhanced MR Spectroscopy (RE MRS). NOGSE-MRI is an exquisite microstructural probe, sensing cell sizes (l) with an unprecedented l^6 sensitivity (compared to l^2 in conventional approaches); RE MRS is a new spectral technique capable of recording metabolic signals with extraordinary fidelity at ultrahigh fields. This proposal aims to harness these novel concepts for mapping neural activity directly, without relying on hemodynamics. The specific objectives of this proposal are:(1) Mapping neural activity via sensing cell swellings upon activity: we hypothesize that NOGSE-fMRI can robustly sense subtle changes in cellular microstructure upon neural firings and hence convey neural activity directly. (2) Probing the nature of elicited activity via detection of neurotransmitter release: we posit that RE MRS is sufficiently sensitive to robustly detect changes in Glutamate and GABA signals upon activation. (3) Investigating widespread neural circuits in vivo via stroboscopic optogenetics: we propose to couple NOGSE-fMRI with optogenetics to resolve casual dynamics in global neural circuitry.  Simulations for NOGSE-fMRI predict >4% signal changes upon subtle cell swellings; further, our in vivo RE MRS experiments have detected metabolites with SNR>50 in only 6 seconds. Hence, these two complementary –and importantly, hemodynami
