T

he age of robots is dawning. If
you think you have heard this
before, you are right. In 2007,
Bill Gates suggested that robots
were about to enter every home, just
as personal computers had done a few
years earlier. Since then, we have
heard repeatedly that robots are about
to revolutionize everything: our work-
places and homes, hospitals and farms-
even the way we respond to disasters.
The promised impact on society and
the economy is enormous. But where
are the robots?

to perform increasingly complex tasks
in limited application scenarios. A para-
digm shift is needed to achieve the final
breakthrough toward robots and artifi-
cial intelligence (AI) that are ethically,
socially, economically, energetically, and
environmentally responsible and sus-
tainable. This means rethinking how
robots look and feel and determining
what new abilities they need, how they
impact the ecosystem and society, and
how they should be regulated.
To answer these questions, we are
proposing a new large-scale, long-term
European initiative, code-named Robotics Flagship, to mobilize academia,
industry, and society (Figure 1). The
flagship will leverage European core
