Current Research Projects

  • CoP : The project aims at the unification of vision-based sensing in the CoP (Cognitive Perception) learning and planning system. On the one hand, CoP manages the interpretation of different kinds of sensors and on the other hand it automatically acquires and maintains the knowledge about the world and objects in the world. CoP selects sensors and sensor interpretation algorithms based on their expected utility. To this end, CoP learns and improves intersensor and inter-algorithmic models for method seleciton from experience. Especially the vision system, the major sensor we use, provides several automatic model improving techniques. Improved models accelerate the perception process and provide more robust results.
