Currently working on providing robots with specific knowledge for social behaviour to facilitate human-robot interaction. This work is supported by the MuJoA project (Multi-Joint Action of Cognitive Systems) funded by the CoTeSys Cluster of Excellence.

Current Research Projects

Former Research Project:

CogArch: Technical cognitive architectures define processes that emulate certain aspects of intelligent behaviour, thereby transferring human behaviour to robots or inanimate agents. The CoTeSys cluster houses many groups developing software for cognitive robots; since these projects have now reached a certain maturity, the need for a tool that facilitates knowledge and code exchange within the cluster is arising. Our solution to this problem is to design a common cognitive architecture framework. It will serve as a template into which different CoTeSys groups can plug their perception, cognition, or action components to enable intelligent behaviour in diverse hardware and task setups.
