Projects

Current projects

  • First-MM - Flexible Skill Acquisition and Intuitive Robot Tasking for Mobile Manipulation (EC FP7, Feb. 2010 - Jul. 2013)
    • 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
    • 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.
  • RoboSoM - A Robotic Sense of Movement (EC FP7, Dec. 2009 - Dec. 2012)
    • http://www.robosom.eu/
    • This project aims at advancing the state-of-the-art in motion perception and control in a humanoid robot. The fundamental principles to explore are rooted on theories of human perception: Expected Perception (EP) and the Vestibular Unified Reference Frame.
  • 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.

Past projects

  • RobotCub - Robotic Open-Architecture Technology for Cognition, Understanding and Behaviour (EC FP6, Sept. 2004 - Jan. 2010)
  • URUS - Ubiquitous Networking Robotics in Urban Settings (EC FP6, Dec. 2006 - Nov. 2009)
  • CAVIAR - Context-Aware Vision Using Image-Based Active Recognition (EC FP6, 2002 - 2005)
  • MIRROR - Mirror Neurons for Recognition (EC FP5, 2001 - 2004)
