For HORIZON-CL4-2027-04-DIGITAL-EMERGING-05, we are looking to join a consortium as a Human-Centred Integration, Safety & Operational Validation partner.
What we offer
-
Human-AI and Human-Robot Interaction expertise
-
Human oversight, trust, cognitive workload, situation awareness and user acceptance assessment
-
Reusable human-centred evaluation and safety-testing protocols
-
XR, simulation and human-in-the-loop validation
-
PEACCH, CATIE’s open-access Human-AI evaluation platform
-
Experimental and operational validation from TRL 3–7
-
Contribution to Integration Kit, SME Adoption Guide, replication and certification activities
Relevant experience
CATIE has participated in European projects on trustworthy AI, Human-AI collaboration, autonomous systems and aviation, including WP leadership and experimentation leadership roles. Our multidisciplinary team combines Human Factors, cognition, AI, robotics, XR and experimental validation expertise.
We are looking for
Consortia led by robotics/system integrators, AI technology providers, industrial manufacturers or research organisations developing multi-sector industrial pilots.
Proposed role
Cross-cutting contribution across pilots to ensure that AI-driven robotic systems are not only technically integrated, but also safe, understandable, usable and ready for real-world adoption.
