2022 Problem Statement Call for Robot Multi-functionality, Mobility and Accessibility

OBJECTIVES

1. Enhance robotic solution development, including multifunctionality (to respond to ROI) and use

of outdoor 5G (in anticipation of future mainstream wireless communication)

2. Encourage standardization with Robotics Middleware Framework and Technical Reference 93 to allow scaling potentials to wider marketplace
3. Provide universality with API, wireless charging, indoor map, and Real Time Location System for robots to work in multiple environments
4. Enable robotic solution adoption with logistics, facility management, etc. to complement workforce productivity

Robotic innovators participate in various packages in the Pilot Trial:

A. Robot multi-functionality
B. Robot navigation and outdoor mobility with 5G
C. Indoor mapping and Real-Time Location System (RTLS)
D. Accessibility: Autonomous Robot-KONE elevator operations
E. Robot wireless charging
F. Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) management in KONE elevators
G. Standardization with Robotics Middleware Framework (RMF), Robotic Middleware for Hospital (RoMi-H), and Technical Reference 93 (TR 93)
H. Accessibility: Autonomous Robot-door operations
