Headline

(max. 9 words)

Babel of robot languages

Description

(approx. 150 words)
Please describe the Wild Card (approx. 150 words)
Several robotic platforms were developed across Europe, but no sufficient common communication standards were established. Therefore it is difficult and expensive to ensure mutual cooperation between individual robots and robotic devices consequently.

Keywords

ICT, robot, language, communication standard, cooperation, robotics

Likelihood

Closest timeframe for at least 50% likelihood
Please use one of the following options:
now-2025

Type of event

Unplanned consequence of events/trends/situations (e.g. financial crisis, accidental breakthrough)

Type of emergence

please select (if any) describe related trend or situation
An extreme extension of a trend/development/situation
(e.g. Increased global warming leads to a total ban on fossil fuels)
A contemporary equivalent of past Wild Cards
(e.g. earthquake, tsunami or, similar to the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the USA breaks up into independent countries sometime between 2025-2050, for example) 		DVD or HD-TV coding standards etc.

Type of systems affected

Human-built Systems - E.g. organisations, processes, technologies, etc.

Classification

Undesirable
