More than 50 attendees for the workshop


Product Scenario Submission

Initial call for ideas prior to the workshopFast and first evaluation to filter by working group chair following criterias :

• Market and clients• Innovation and originality• Clarity and presentation• Technical Strength• Relevance to challenges

More than 70 scenarios have been generated before the workshopWorking group leaders utilize a method guide to process the scenarios to

emerge products and technologies.


Role of WG chairs and co-chairs

Chair : • Organise working groups (consolidation groups and creation groups)• Schedule and manage speech timeline

•Ensure a fair contribution of all the workshop stakeholders • Ensure product scenario objectives are met, in terms of balance,

coverage and consistencyCo-chair :

•Performs a synthesis of the working group outcome•Support the chair in its role and to guarantee the

consistency of the production

Workshop Process

Product Scenario Generation Day 1

Presentation 13h30-16h00• each author present product scenarios• 10 minutes including Q&A

Scenario workout 16h20-18h30

in small groups:1 Consolidation groups based on

accepted scenario:•merging / combination•scenario breakdown•refinement & simplification

2 Creation groups•Define missing scenario (domotic)

Product Scenario Refinement and Consolidation Day 2

Presentation 9h00-10h45• each group presents product scenario

updates and new scenarios• 6 minutes each, includig Q&A

Scenario Selection 11h00-12h15• Final Consolidation• Cochair prepares synthesis

Synthesis (plenary) Day 2Industry, Professional and Security : 13h30-15h30Space & Domestic : 15H50-17h10

Initial review and evaluation(comitee)

Process example 12h00-12h30

Refinement and Consolidation


Product Scenario : example guide (1/4)

Deployment / Exploitation Environment

• Assumptions: • energy exhausted, • loss of communication,

• Environment/ Exploitation Requirements:• remain within com distance from the C&C)• manage energy• partial autonomy (perception and planning)

• Actors• Multiple rovers, • Planetary C&C, • earth station

• Missions• perform mapping, • change modules, • operate sample return

• Interactions• Remotely controled from the C&C• Remotely controled from earth via the C&C.



Key Features

• Functions (mobility, grasping, diagnose…)• Systems Requirements (safety, …)• Design invariants (distributed sensing, …)• Others

Seismic, meteo sensor, com relay

Synthesis and next step

For each scenario:• Brief description according to the template• Have we got product?• Work to consolidate (refinement, other scenarii, …)

Technological trends• What is the picture?• Do we have consensus within each WG ?

Homework before the workshop 2 (17 – 18 Jan)

• Each groups shall consolidate the work according to supplied template (products and technologies). Outcomes expected by the year end

• Each groups shall provide complementary scenarii if necessary to cover missing areas. Outcomes expected by the year end.

• Sagem to provide beginning of next year a homogeneous synthesis of the workshop outcomes
