Toward cognitive robot companions
IAV2004 - PREPRINTS 5th IFAC/EURON Symposium on Intelligent Autonomous Vehicles Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisboa, Portugal July 5-7, 2004
Toward Cognitive Robot Companions Raja Chatila Laboratoire d’Analyse et d’Architecture des Systemes - CNRS 7, avenue du Colonel Roche 31077 Toulouse Cedex 4 - France email: [email protected]
Abstract
The talk will explore the challenges of developing a new generation of robots that would be acting along with humans in their daily life and sharing their space. Such a robot companion will have to exhibit the cognitive capacities which are necessary to interact efficiently with humans in changing situations and tasks. It will have to understand its spatial surroundings, to make decisions according to its own evaluation of its situation, and to interact closely with humans both physically and through multimodal dialogue. A robot companion must also adapt to its human partner and learn new skills to be able to respond to the humans' needs.
