Post-doctoral scholarships in cognitive robotics – University of Aveiro

Through previous projects, the Transverse Activity on Intelligent Robotics of the University of Aveiro (ATRI/UA) has been working on the integration of reactivity, deliberation, learning and interactivity for intelligent robots. In the framework of RACE ("Robustness by Autonomous Competence Enhancement"), an ongoing project funded by EU FP7, UA is currently collaborating on the development of an artificial cognitive system able to build a high-level understanding of its world by storing and exploiting appropriate memories of its experiences. The project developments will be integrated and demonstrated on a PR2 robot, from Willow Garage. UA is involved in the development of modules concerned with semantic interpretation, recording and conceptualization of experiences of plan-based activities, and human-robot interaction.
