CogLaboration

CogLaboration was a European research grant coordinated by Treelogic and funded by the European Commission under the seventh framework programme for Research and Innovation (FP7-ICT-7-2.1 - No. 287888, November 2011 - October 2014). Besides Scuola Sant'Anna, which participated through the AHA, CogLaboration involved four more partners: Treelogic, Fundación Tecnalia Research & Innovation, University of BirminghamR.U.Robots. CogLaboration focused on the object transfer procedure between a robot and a human, i.e. a key aspect to be addressed in order to implement robots which provide successful and efficient robotic assistance to humans. In particular the following scientific challenges were targeted:

  • design a model of the cognition of fluent object exchange using a human-human set-up in which it is considered a representative sample of the kinds of normal variations, un-modelled, and unpredictable events and situations;
  • describe and specify the basic cognitive capacities needed for fluent, safe and effective object exchange in realistic task settings;
  • model how the goals and intentions of the exchange motions can be reliably detected and recognised and used to drive the on-going object exchange interaction.
