DEXterous and autonomous dual-arm/hand robotic manipulation\nwith sMART sensory-motor skills: A bridge from natural to artificial cognition

Project description

Cognitive Systems, Interaction, Robotics
Dual-arm robot including two multi-fingered redundant hands to grasp and manipulate the same objects used by human beings
The DEXMART project is focused on artificial systems reproducing human skills, which operate in unstructured real-world environments. The goal is to allow a dual-arm robot including two multi-fingered redundant hands to grasp and manipulate the same objects used by human beings. The manipulation will take place in an unsupervised, robust and dependable manner so as to allow the robot to safely cooperate with humans for the execution of given tasks. The robot will be able to acquire knowledge by learning new action sequences so as to create a consistent and comprehensive manipulation knowledge base through an actual reasoning process.
