EU FP7 IST Cognitive Systems Integrated Project

Project overview

The high level aim of this project was to develop a unified theory of self-understanding and self-extension with a convincing instantiation and implementation of this theory in a robot. By self-understanding we mean that the robot has representations of gaps in its knowledge or uncertainty in its beliefs. By self-extension we mean the ability of the robot to extend its own abilities or knowledge by planning learning activities and carrying them out.

Interactive learning

Contains 3 subtopics
The laboratory was involved in several EU projects on the topic of interactive robot learning, ranging from self-supervised learning of object affordances to interactive learning in a dialogue with a tutor. We have been also developing methods for interactive learning on different levels of interaction.
