Cognitive Systems for Cognitive Assistants - CoSy

Cognitive Systems for Cognitive Assistants CoSy is an Integrated project in the Sixth framework programme. The main goal of the project is to advance the science of cognitive systems through a multi-disciplinary investigation of requirements, design options and trade-offs for human-like, autonomous, integrated, physical (eg., robot) systems, including requirements for architectures, for forms of representation, for perceptual mechanisms, for learning, planning, reasoning and motivation, for action and communication. The Visual Cognitive Systems Laboratory (ViCoS) at FRI participates in this project and is mainly involved in research on cognitive vision. In particular, they have been developing algorithms as well as a system for incremental visual learning and learning in interaction with a tutor and statistical visual learning of hierarchical representations.
