Current projects
- First-MM - Flexible Skill Acquisition and Intuitive Robot Tasking for Mobile Manipulation (EC FP7, Feb. 2010 - ?)
- 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.
