* POETICON++ - Robots Need Language: A computational mechanism for generalisation and generation of new behaviours in robots (EC FP7, Jan. 2012 - Dec. 2015) | |||
** http://www.poeticon.eu/ | |||
** The main objective of POETICON++ is the development of a computational mechanism for generalisation of motor programs and visual experiences for robots. To this end, it will integrate natural language and visual action/object recognition tools with motor skills and learning abilities, in the iCub humanoid. Tools and skills will engage in a cognitive dialogue for novel action generalisation and creativity experiments in two scenarios of "everyday activities", comprising of (a) behaviour generation through verbal instruction, and (b) visual scene understanding. POETICON++ views natural language as a necessary tool for endowing artificial agents with generalisation and creativity in real world environments. | |||

** The goal of First-MM is to build the basis for a new generation of autonomous mobile manipulation robots that can flexibly be instructed to perform complex manipulation and transportation tasks. The project will develop a novel robot programming environment that allows even non-expert users to specify complex manipulation tasks in real-world environments. In addition to a task specification language, the environment includes concepts for probabilistic inference and for learning manipulation skills from demonstration and from experience. | ** The goal of First-MM is to build the basis for a new generation of autonomous mobile manipulation robots that can flexibly be instructed to perform complex manipulation and transportation tasks.
