* 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.
* Dico(re)²s - Discount Coupon Recommendation and Redemption System (EC FP7, July 2011 - June 2013)
** http://www.dicore2s.com/
** Dico(re)²s develops and deploys a coupon-based discount campaign platform to provide consumers and retailers/manufacturers with a personalized environment for maximum customer satisfaction and business profitability.

* First-MM - Flexible Skill Acquisition and Intuitive Robot Tasking for Mobile Manipulation (EC FP7, Feb. 2010 - Jul. 2013)
** http://www.first-mm.eu/
** http://www.first-mm.eu/
** 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.

* HANDLE - Developmental Pathway Towards Autonomy and Dexterity in Robot In-Hand Manipulation (EC FP7, Feb. 2009 - Feb. 2013)
 
** http://www.handle-project.eu
=== Past projects ===
** This project aims at providing advanced perception and control capabilities to the Shadow Robot hand, one of the most advanced robotic hands in mechanical terms. We follow some paradigms of human learning to make the system able to grasp and manipulate objects of different characteristics: learning by imitation and by self-exploration. Different object characteristics and usages (object affordances) determine the way the hand will perform the grasping and manipulation actions.
