Discussion Questions:

• Previous experience towards working with the SDGs:
  • Are audience members considering SDGs in their project work?
  • If yes, can they give examples of targets, goals, activities or processes that they have initiated?
• Why is it important to contribute to the SDGs and work in a more sustainable way?
  • Is it because it brings financial and economic benefits to the company/organization,
  • because regulations require them to work in a more sustainable way or
  • because it is in their belief to contribute to a better world.
• Challenges in working towards sustainability and the SDGs.
  • How is it possible to balance the interactions of the SDGs, are there situations where they conflict or reinforce each other?
  • Are carbon pricing, costs of energy, etc. started to become a concern?
  • What factors are considered when introducing Industrial robots to support sustainability?
  • Have costs, carbon footprint of robots, etc. been a concern so far?
• How is your organization addressing the topic of sustainability?
• What robotics applications are the low-hanging fruit and what are the larger challenges that the EU robotics community needs to focus on?
• Should carbon footprint and life cycle evaluations of all projects be mandatory?
  • Do we have the correct methods and metrics to be able to estimate and compare these across projects / developments?
• What can robotics be doing more of?
• What needs to change within robotics generally given this new urgency?
