Physical and cognitive augmentation in advanced manufacturing (Made in Europe Partnership)

The funding call HORIZON-CL4-INDUSTRY-2025-01-TWIN-TRANSITION-02 focuses on advancing physical and cognitive augmentation in advanced manufacturing within the framework of the Made in Europe Partnership. It aims to develop breakthrough technologies that enhance human-machine interactions, thereby empowering workers and fostering a human-centric approach in manufacturing environments. The call encourages the integration of Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) to address human-related barriers and promote inclusivity, safety, and well-being in industrial settings.

Next Submission Deadline

The specific submission deadline for this call has not been provided.

Expected Outcome

Proposals should aim to achieve the following:

  1. Empowerment of workers:
    • Introduce advanced augmentation technologies for improved human-machine interaction.
    • Enhance teamwork and individual capabilities in factories.
  2. Improvement of working conditions:
    • Enhance flexibility, inclusiveness, safety, and well-being.
    • Make industrial jobs more attractive, especially for younger generations (e.g., Generation Z).
  3. Alignment with Industry 5.0 principles:
    • Focus on the human-centric approach.
    • Explore how augmentation technologies can assist workers in their careers and improve job satisfaction.

Scope

Proposals must address all the following aspects:

  1. Development of breakthrough technologies:
    • Utilize mechatronics, photonics, and other advanced tools for human-centric approaches.
    • Implement perception technologies for shopfloor awareness and prediction of human intentions.
  2. AI-driven methodologies:
    • Develop AI systems for reasoning, control, and interaction.
    • Promote efficiency, knowledge sharing, inclusivity, accessibility, and flexibility.
  3. Inclusion of stakeholders in design:
    • Assess needs of workers and managers from the design phase.
    • Ensure skill development for implementing these solutions.
  4. New assessment methodologies:
    • Perform value-added assessments and validate systems.
    • Optionally employ digital twin models for virtual validation scenarios.
  5. Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) contributions:
    • Address barriers such as ergonomics, comfort, trust, safety, and liability.
    • Include perspectives on age, gender, and other human factors.
    • Optionally engage social partners for broader insights.
