Umwelttechnik trifft Robotik

Ziel der Förderrichtlinie Digital GreenTech Robotik ist es, Umweltbelastungen weiter zu verringern und den Klimaschutz zu unterstützen. Hierfür sollen im Rahmen von Verbundprojekten neue Ansätze und Möglichkeiten für den Einsatz intelligenter Robotik in der Umwelttechnik erforscht und entwickelt werden.

BRIDGE – Accompanying scientific research for Digital GreenTech Robotics

Companion project with an integrated approach to robotics, information law, dissemination, green technology, and ethics

What does BRIDGE do?

The BRIDGE accompanying project complements the collaborative projects funded by the BMFTR under the Digital GreenTech Robotics funding initiative as a scientific accompanying project that takes an integrated approach to robotics, information law, dissemination, green tech, and ethics.

The goal is to support the individual research projects under the funding program in developing robotic solutions for demanding environmental conditions while simultaneously conducting a scientific analysis of legal, ethical, technical, and practical challenges.

Good to know

What are the tasks involved in accompanying research?

Accompanying research is a scientific study conducted in parallel with a program or project to analyze its implementation, effectiveness, and transfer outcomes, identify opportunities for improvement, and gain insights for similar initiatives, often by addressing overarching questions regarding innovation, transfer processes, and framework conditions.

Our Support

Specifically at BRIDGE

As part of the project, the following measures are planned to support the collaborative projects:

Content-related project support
Professional guidance, methodological advice, and targeted intensive projects
Analysis of the Legal Framework
National and international legislation, identification of regulatory gaps
Ethic & Responsibility
Analysis of ethical challenges and development of mitigation strategies
Standardization
Contributions to DIN SPEC, VDE SPEC, and other standardization activities
Transfer & Dissemination
Academic publications, digital guide (OER), public relations

Methodology

How does BRIDGE work?

The accompanying research follows a structured process model based on established approaches such as KORA and VCIO. The following methods, among others, are used:

Requirements analyses and stakeholder interviews
Case studies on selected use cases
Analysis of ethical, legal, and societal issues
Development of recommendations for action and design
The results are incorporated both into project support and into overarching recommendations for policy, business, and research.
