Semi-Autonomous 3rd Hand (3rd HAND)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

Robots have been essential for keeping industrial manufacturing in Europe. Most factories have large numbers of robots in a fixed setup and few programs that produce the exact same product hundreds of thousands times. The only common interaction between the robot and the human worker has become the so-called "emergency stop button". As a result, re-programming robots for new or personalized produc ...

ALLOW Ensembles

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

The recent advances in pervasive technologies enable construction of large-scale socio-technical systems which tightly interweave humans and their social structures with the technology. These systems are realized as a collective of diverse heterogeneous actors situated both in the physical world such as people, objects etc., and in the backend computer systems such as control processes. The object ...

Collective Cognitive Robots (CoCoRo)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

Description The CoCoRo project aims at developing a swarm of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) that are able to interact with each other and which can balance tasks such as ecological monitoring, searching, maintaining, exploring and harvesting resources in underwater habitats. The swarm will maintain swarm integrity under conditions of ...

TOpology based Motion SYnthesis for dexterous manipulation (TOMSY)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

Description The goal of TOMSY is to enable a generational leap in the techniques and scalability of motion synthesis systems. Motion synthesis is a key component of future robotic and cognitive systems to enable their physical interaction with humans and physical manipulation of their environment. Existing motion synthesis algorithms are sev ...

RoboEarth: robots sharing a knowledge base for world modelling and learning of actions (RoboEarth)

Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

Description Connecting robots world-wide The RoboEarth project exploits a new approach towards endowing robots with advanced perception and action capabilities, thus enabling robots to carrying out useful tasks autonomously in circumstances that were not planned at design time. RoboEarth is a worl ...

Symbiotic Evolutionary Robot Organisms (SYMBRION)

Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2013,

The main focus of this project is to investigate and develop novel principles of adaptation and evolution for symbiotic multi-robot organisms based on bio-inspired approaches and modern computing paradigms. Such robot organisms will consist of super-large-scale swarms of robots, which can dock with each other and symbiotically share energy and computational resources within a single artificial-lif ...

ANGuilliform robot with ELectric Sense (ANGELS)

Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Jul 31, 2012,

The aim of the ANGELS project is to design and build a prototype of a reconfigurable Anguilliform swimming robot able to split into smaller agents (and vice-versa), each equipped with a bio-inspired "electric sense" used both for recognition of objects and communication between agents. This mode of active perception, present in some fish, is based on the polarisation of certain regions of their bo ...

ASSET Advanced Safety and Driver Support in Essential Road Transport (ASSET-ROAD)

Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

"As the European objectives of integration and economic growth are achieved, there is a corresponding vigorous growth in road traffic volumes. This results in congestion and increased numbers of road fatalities. The objective of the ASSET project is to reverse these negative effects by developing a number of promising technologies and integrating them into a new holistic approach to road safety. ...

New Principles of Unbound Embodied Evolution (EVOBODY)

Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2011,

Evolutionary computation is an efficient optimizing and solution-generating mechanism inspired by biological evolution. It has been successfully applied in many branches ofengineering, business, artificial biological (synthetic biology) and technological (robotics) systems. Evolution-based models of computation in a broader sense are now ``invading'' newinterdisciplinary research areas in innovati ...

Adaptable Pervasive Flows (Allow)

Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2011,

The objective of the project is to develop a new programming paradigm for human-oriented pervasive applications. This paradigm will enable pervasive technical systems to adapt automatically and seamlessly to humans involved and embedded in them, explicitly supporting people in achieving well-defined goals in dynamically changing environments and contexts. Furthermore, it will enable the integratio ...
