Societal Readiness Plan for Robotics4EU

Abstract

This document presents the Societal Readiness Plan for the Horizon Europe funded Coordination and Support Action project Robotics4EU (2020-2023). The plan includes both project-internal and stakeholder-external frameworks for ensuring that: (1) a Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) framework is being developed, implemented and followed throughout the project; and (2) a Social Readiness Level (SRL) framework is put into action, both as a tool within the project for a Maturity Assessment Model, and for external evaluations of robotics-technologies. The goal of both RRI- and SRL-tools is to ensure that the project meets its impact goals of better integrating robotics-technologies into the European society.
