Each proposal will focus on one of the two following use-cases:

1. Collaborative embodied AI (robotics system), empowering end-users and workers keeping them away from unsafe and unhealthy jobs: the focus will be on demonstrating improved working conditions (health/safety/level of stress, etc.), and worker trust and acceptance, physical assistance like stress level.
2. AI and data supporting professionals in trustworthy hybrid decision-making and supporting workers to optimise and facilitate their tasks: the focus will be on demonstrating how AI and data can improve the effectiveness and efficiency as well as management of trade-offs within the decision-making, building on the human and machine complementarities, exploiting the best capability of both for a better outcome. Specific effort should be made to develop re-usable decision-support systems or modules.

All proposals should exploit the latest results in AI, data and robotics, as well as multimodal interaction technologies, User interface experience, for natural and seamless interaction between the human and the technology/sources of information, including Augmented/Virtual Reality when appropriate.

Two types of proposals are expected:
1. Focused projects (EU contribution around € 3,00 million), involving the user industry and technology provider(s),
2. Larger projects (EU contribution around € 5,00 million), where a number of companies in a given application sector will identify in the proposal common challenges and use-cases, and organise competitive calls for AI, data and robotics solution providers to address such challenges. (see p.225-226 of the work programme)

The involvement of the application sector stakeholders, including social partners, workers, managers and decision makers. Α human-centred approach will be key, with involvement of the workers, professionals, (front-line operators and managers) and other relevant experts, such as experts in human-centred design. They will closely collaborate with the technology providers and integrators.
