Robotic Experimentation (WP7)
The main objectives of the Robotic Experimentation is to transfer the scientific innovations from other work packages into a software architecture facilitating research on rich motor skills both within the project and within the scientific community at large. For that methodological, theoretical and technological challenges from a software engineering and robotic control architecture viewpoint have to be investigated. The realization o the finding will lead to a layered component architecture and a corresponding meta-model for the endowment of rich motor skills including high-level cognitive abilities for robotic experimentation. The developed software architecture and computational models will be proven in full body robot systems like the i-Cub and Cheetah in complex real-world tasks like crawling up a sofa and in smooth interaction with humans. We will provide feedback to other work packages about the feasibility of the developed computational models from an architecture engineering and robotic experimentation viewpoint and develop and apply evaluation methods based on human perception and cognition of motion.
