The Mobile Robotics Laboratory at AASS

Our objective...
-> is to develop new theories, principles and techniques for the creation of cognitive robotic systems able operate autonomously in everyday environments in the service of humans.
Our research focus...
-> within this general objective is the crucial problem of the integration of higher-level cognitive processes into a physically embedded autonomous robot. The expected scientific breakthrough is to provide the missing link between cognitive and sensori-motor activities in an artificial system. From an engineering perspective, this link embodies the integration of techniques coming from the field of Artificial Intelligence and those coming from the field of Robotics.
Our approach...
-> relies on the tight integration of theoretical investigation and practical experimentation. Investigation is based on tools borrowed from artificial intelligence, soft computing, and non-standard logics. Experiments are conducted on our pool of mobile robots and our smart home.
