Summary |
Cognitive robotics is a new approach to robot programming based on
high level primitives for perception and action. These primitives draw
inspiration from ideas in cognitive science combined with state of the
art robotics algorithms. Students will experiment with these
primitives and help develop new ones using the Tekkotsu software
framework on the Calliope robot, which includes a 5 degree-of-freedom
arm with gripper, a Kinect camera on a pan/tilt mount, and Ubuntu
Linux on a dual-core on-board netbook. Prior robotics experience is
not necessary, but strong programming skills are required.
