We are looking forward to contributing a workshop again at this year’s European Robotics Forum 2026 in Stavanger, Norway. The topic of this year’s workshop is 3D Perception as Key Enabler for AI-based Robotics. Stay tuned for further updates on this page!
Content
The topic of this workshop is 3D Perception as Key Enabler for AI-based Robotics. AI-based perception skills for known and unknown objects and their integration with federated data ecosystems to enable new applications and business models will be discussed along use cases from agile production and logistics such as bin-picking, kitting, assembly, and packing.
Interactive tools will be used to assess questions, user needs and expectations, which will be discussed in a panel session.
The workshop is organized by the Topic Group Perception and the Rox Project.
Agenda
11:10 Introduction and Definition of Key Statements/Questions

Intended Outcome
The expected outcome is a better understanding of how federated data spaces can help to deploy and continuously improve AI‐models over several stakeholders from enablers, solution builders to end‐customers.
