The analysis of data and information to perform meaningful actions or to derive useful conclusions is a fundamental endavour in science and society. The lab uses a variety of techniques from machine learning for the construction of compter programs that assist in the analysis of large volumes of data. It then applies these techniques to the algorithmic engineering on software on board the robots for challenging problems such as robotic soccer or human-computer interaction through robots.
Projects include:
- Robocup Soccer Competition
- Nonmonotonic reasoning for managing consistency in localization of mobile robots
- Robots for the blind
- Face recognition
- Insect tracking
