LARSyS addresses the design of Cognitive Robots and Systems (CRS) capable of interacting routinely with humans in different application\u00a0contexts, e.g. manufacturing, homes, services and public spaces.<\/p>\n
CRS have huge economic potential as assistants of individuals at home (for physical and mental augmentation, education,\u00a0entertainment, rehabilitation, active ageing), at work (advanced manufacturing, training), and as networked systems collaborate with\u00a0humans in critical applications (surveillance and security of people and goods, search and rescue,\u00a0space exploration, agriculture and\u00a0mining, remote handling of dangerous products).<\/p>\n
The INTERACTION<\/strong> thematic area aims at developing novel multidisciplinary\u00a0approaches to address these challenges bringing\u00a0together the expertise of the LARSyS groups in control, signal processing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, human-robot\u00a0interaction, and domain knowledge of relevant applications.<\/p>\n The thematic area will have at its core the following groups at LARSyS:<\/p>\n During the (2013-2017)\u00a0period the thematic area activities spawned large national and international projects focusing on applicationsto Health and Assisted Living (CMUPT\u00a0Projects AHA and INSIDE, EU Project Monarch), Natural Human Robot Interaction (EU\u00a0Project Poeticon++, ACTICIPATE), Networked Robot Systems in Domestic Environments (FCT Project HARODE and EU Project\u00a0RocKin), that led to the establishment of several links to academic and industrial partners in diverse application domains (health,\u00a0neuroscience, psychology, social sciences) and the RBCog Research Infrastructure (in the Portuguese Roadmap of RI).<\/p>\n For the\u00a0incoming period we will build on this large network of collaborators and continue working in coordination with large international\u00a0programs and companies to identify new opportunities in the area of CRS, in particular to maritime, environmental and precision\u00a0agriculture. We will also target stronger collaborations with the LARSyS transversal domains Systems, Data Science, and Learning\u00a0(SDL) and Socio-Technical\u00a0Systems (STS). SDL provides a framework to analyse complex networked systems such as CRS and\u00a0develop novel methodologies that exploit efficiently the multiple system resources. CRS fall in the domain of STS where issues such\u00a0as acceptability, usability, long-term\u00a0individual effects and social impacts, must be taken into account.<\/p>\n Computer\u00a0and Robot Vision Group (VisLabISR)<\/a> LARSyS addresses the design of Cognitive Robots and Systems (CRS) capable of interacting routinely with humans in different application\u00a0contexts, e.g. manufacturing, homes, services and public spaces.
