Projects

RoboEarth (2010-, Seventh Framework Programme)

At its core, RoboEarth is a World Wide Web for robots: a giant network and database repository where robots can share information and learn from each other about their behavior and their environment.

Bringing a new meaning to the phrase "experience is the best teacher", the goal of RoboEarth is to allow robotic systems to benefit from the experience of other robots, paving the way for rapid advances in machine cognition and behaviour, and ultimately, for more subtle and sophisticated human-machine interaction.

Rawseeds (2008-2009, Sixth Framework Programme)

The aim of the RAWSEEDS project is to stimulate and support progress in autonomous robotics by providing a comprehensive, high-quality benchmarking toolkit. RAWSEEDS will also perform all the actions needed for a rapid and thorough dissemination of its results through the academic and industrial domains (e.g. setup of a website, documentation and support actions, workshops, competitions, publications).

SLAM6DOF: Portable Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Systems for Large and Complex Environments (2008-2009, CICYT)

The fundamental goal of this project is the development of prototypes of portable systems for the acquisition of sensorial information that can be used to compute the trajectory of a sensor moving freely in 3D with six degrees of freedom, and to build models of such environments. These prototypes include sensors such as one or more cameras, a panoramic camera, or a laser scanner. These systems also incorporate propioceptive devices such as gyroscopes or accelerometers that can provide information about their displacement in the environment. Prototypes may be ported by people walking, bicycling, on paragliders, or swimming. We develop new methods for performing SLAM and compute egomotion when the sensor moves with six degrees of freedom in large and complex environments. Applications include people tracking in rescue operations, panoramic, aerial and underwater mosaicing and virtual and augmented reality.

Cognitive Systems for Cognitive Assistants (2007-2008, Sixth Framework Programme)

The main goal of the Cognitive Systems for Cognitive Assistants project was to advance the science of cognitive systems through a multi-disciplinary investigation of requirements, design options and trade-offs for human-like, autonomous, integrated, physical (eg., robot) systems, including requirements for architectures, for forms of representation, for perceptual mechanisms, for learning, planning, reasoning and motivation, for action and communication.
