For robots to be usefully and efficiently deployed to perform new activities in physical interaction with the real world requires an improvement in and expansion of the range of functionalities robots can deploy. This needs to take place in sectors where the capabilities of robots can be utilised to progress productivity in critical industries, support European industries essential for sovereignty and in sectors with high impact across Europe such as manufacturing, healthcare, agri-food, construction etc.

In particular the following major areas of functional performance need to be progressed to the next level of performance:

• significant enhancement of navigation capabilities in order to enhance mobility (underwater, on the ground, in the air, in the body, in areas difficult to reach, on rough terrain, in unpredictable environments, in areas including people or other moving agents, etc.), particularly in highly dynamic and complex environments.
• extension of manipulation capabilities to address:
  • large (of the order of metres to 10s of meters in scale), or heavy (of the order of 100kg to multiple 100kg )
  • or small objects of millimetre or centimetre scale, or smaller; ,
  • or of objects that are soft, deformable, articulated, delicate or hazardous objects;

Each of these require significant advances in precision, force, speed, re-planning, physical perception, grasping, manipulation (including bi-manual), etc.), in order to achieve beyond human capability in manipulation and dexterity.
