| - | [[http://3rdhandrobot.eu/|3rdHand]] (EU FP7-ICT-STREP, 2013-2017) develops a semi-autonomous robot assistant that acts as a third hand of a human worker. It will be straightforward to instruct even by an untrained layman worker, allow for efficient knowledge transfer between tasks, and enable effective collaboration between a human worker with a robot third hand. The main contributions of this project will be the scientific principles of semi-autonomous human-robot collaboration, a new semi-autonomous robotic system that is able to (i) learn cooperative tasks from demonstration, (ii) learn from instruction, and (iii) transfer knowledge between tasks and environments. | + | [[https://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/110160/factsheet/en|3rdHand]] (EU FP7-ICT-STREP, 2013-2017) develops a semi-autonomous robot assistant that acts as a third hand of a human worker.

| - | {{:research:pacman_logo2.png?nolink&110 |PaCMan}} [[https://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/106859/en|PaCMan]] (EU FP7-ICT-STREP, 2013-2016) advances methods for object perception, representation and manipulation so that a robot is able to robustly manipulate objects even when those objects are unfamiliar, and even though the robot has unreliable perception and action. The proposal is founded on two assumptions. The first of these is that the representation of the object's shape in particular and of other properties in general will benefit from being compositional (or very loosely hierarchical and part based). The second is that manipulation planning and execution benefits from explicitly reasoning about uncertainty in object pose, shape etcetera; how it changes under the robot's actions, and the robot should plan actions that not only achieve the task, but gather information to make task achievement more reliable. | + | {{:research:pacman_logo2.png?nolink&110 |PaCMan}} [[http://www.pacman-project.eu/|PaCMan]] (EU FP7-ICT-STREP, 2013-2016) advances methods for object perception, representation and manipulation so that a robot is able to robustly manipulate objects even when those objects are unfamiliar, and even though the robot has unreliable perception and action.

This is in particular required for the interaction between humans and robots in which the robot has to understand the human action and then to transfer it to its own embodiment. | + | {{:research:intellact.png?nolink&110 |IntellAct}} [[https://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/97727/factsheet/en|IntellAct]] (EU FP7-ICT-STREP, 2011-2014) addresses the problem of understanding and exploiting the meaning (semantics) of manipulations in terms of objects, actions and their consequences for reproducing human actions with machines.
