CPEuropa10 - Giorgio Metta Body and Mind of a Humanoid

Giorgio Metta (Italia), de la Universidad de Génova (Lira-Lab), nos hablará de Icub, un robot humanoide desarrollado como resultado del proyecto colaborativo RobotCub (http://www.robotcub.org) apoyado por la Comisión Europea a través de la Unidad dE5 de IST de Sistemas Cognitivos robóticos. ICub ha ido diseñado con el objeto de estudiar cognición humana y contiene un sofisticado set de sensores que facilitan la visión, el tacto, percepción, audición, así como un gran número de accionadores (53) que proporcionan habilidades motoras. Es un proyecto abierto "open source" para crear una masa crítica de grupos de investigación que contribuyan con sus ideas y algoritmos al avance del conocimiento y la cognición humana.

Icub has been designed with the objective of studying human cognition and contains a sophisticated set of sensors that facilitate vision, touch, perception, hearing, as well as a large number of drivers (53) that provide motor abilities. It is an open project open source to create a critical mass of investigation groups that contribute with their ideas and algorithms to advancing human knowledge and cognition.

What they are doing is reading out mirror neuron data in order to get a better performance on some task than competing teams.

But what they should do is finding out how the mirror neurons got there and building a device which is capable of learning mirror neurons from its own interactions with the world!
