Manufacturing, construction, and agriculture are major driving forces for the European economy and prosperity. Maintaining its competitiveness in these sectors demands highly efficient and flexible processes, and this can be achieved through digitization. Novel intelligent robotic capabilities that can be deployed side-by-side with humans and can operate and adapt to dynamic environments can accelerate this process. However, existing robotic systems cannot fit well into such settings as they are not versatile and flexible enough to automate certain tasks, cannot collaborate safely with humans in open and dynamic environments, nor are they easily and economically adaptable to process changes. The SOPRANO project coalesces multidisciplinary research and innovation in human-robot collaboration and intelligent multi-agent systems, aspiring to design the next generation of manufacturing floors, construction sites, and agri-food production, where humans and intelligent machines will seamlessly work together. It proposes to scale collaboration from the single human-agent dyad to a peer-based synergy between multiple interconnected robotic systems featuring different physical and cognitive properties, supporting various tasks in collaboration with human workers, robotics and other agents. SOPRANO will validate the technological offering in three novel and open-access use cases addressing both large-scale industries and small to medium enterprises, adding value to EU key sectors and instrumenting community building surrounding the open-source technologies in the EU industrial ecosystem. During the project, we will also enable external SMEs and start-ups to benefit from the project technologies via an open call, which will enable the building of demonstrators using SOPRANO technologies that will open new market opportunities for their products and services.

制造，建筑和农业是欧洲经济和繁荣的主要驱动力。保持其在这些部门的竞争力需要高效和灵活的过程，这可以通过数字化实现。可与人类并排部署并可以操作并适应动态环境的新型智能机器人功能可以加速此过程。但是，现有的机器人系统不能很好地适应这种设置，因为它们不足以自动化某些任务，无法在开放且动态的环境中与人进行安全的协作，也无法轻易且经济地适应过程变化。女高音计划和智能多代理系统中的多学科研究和创新结合在一起，渴望设计下一代制造地板，建筑工地和农业食品生产，在这里，人类和智能机器将无缝地工作。它建议将合作从单个人类代理二元组扩展到基于同伴的协同作用，以具有不同的物理和认知属性的多个相互连接的机器人系统之间的协同作用，并与人工，机器人和其他代理商合作支持各种任务。女高音将验证三个新颖的开放式用例中的技术产品，这些案例涉及大规模行业和中小型企业，为欧盟关键部门和仪器社区建筑物增加了价值，并在欧盟工业生态系统中的开源技术围绕开放源技术。在项目期间，我们还将通过公开呼叫使外部中小企业和初创企业从项目技术中受益，这将使示威者能够使用女高音技术来建造示威者，从而为其产品和服务打开新的市场机会。
