Goal-based Open-ended Autonomous Learning Robots (GOAL-Robots)

Start date: Nov 1, 2016, End date: Oct 31, 2020,

This project aims to develop a new paradigm to build open-ended learning robots called `Goal-based Open-ended Autonomous Learning' (GOAL). GOAL rests upon two key insights. First, to exhibit an autonomous open-ended learning process, robots should be able to self-generate goals, and hence tasks to practice. Second, new learning algorithms can leverage self-generated goals to dramatically accelerat ...

An Exascale Hyperbolic PDE Engine (ExaHyPE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2015, End date: Sep 30, 2019,

Many aspects of our life, but also cutting-edge research questions, hinge on the solution of large systems of partial differential equations expressing conservation laws. Such equations are solved to compute accurate weather forecast, complex earthquake physics, hematic flows in patients, or the most catastrophic events in the universe. Yet, our ability to exploit the predictive power of these mod ...

AErial RObotic System for In-Depth Bridge Inspection by Contact (AEROBI)

Start date: Dec 1, 2015, End date: Nov 30, 2018,

The latest developments in low flying unmanned robots with arms and the associated fields of intelligent control, computer vision and sensors open the floor for robotic solutions, exploitable in the near term, in the field of inspection of difficult-toaccess areas of the civil infrastructure in general and bridges in particular. The latter infrastructure is ageing requiring inspection and assessme ...

Bayesian computations in the human neocortex: deciphering the neuronal mechanisms of perceptual and syntactic inferences. (BayesianHumanCortex)

Start date: Aug 1, 2015, End date: Jul 31, 2018,

The diversity of human cognitive abilities contrasts with the homogeneity of its neural bases. Indeed, perception, decision and language processes largely rely on a common neuronal structure – the neocortex – whose functioning remains remarkably poorly understood. Recent theories suggest that the six layers of the neocortical microcircuit are specifically interconnected to perform generic computat ...

Intrinsically Motivated Cumulative Learning Versatile Robots (IM-CLeVeR)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2013,

Description Robot design methodology for skills acquisition IM-CLeVeR aims to develop a new methodology for designing robots controllers that can cumulatively learn new efficient skills through autonomous development based on intrinsic motivations and reuse such skills for accomplishing multiple, ...

Self-Constructing Computing Systems (SECO)

Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

Although the density and speed of integrated circuits has grown exponentially during the last decades, so too have costs of fabrication and test facilities. Current computational methods depend on completely reliable hardware, a constraint that greatly increases the degree of fabrication precision required to avoid failure of individual components, and also increases the amount of post-fabrication ...

towards a PHOtonic liquid state machine based on delay-CoUpled Systems (PHOCUS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

The aim of this project is to design and implement a photonics realization of a liquid state machine (LSM), with the potential for versatile and fast signal handling. We target to achieve high computational performance with only a small number of photonics components, using dynamical systems with time delay to realize the required high dimensionality for the LSM. This ambitious aim is motivated by ...
