Abstract

The newly established cluster of excellence CoTeSysinvestigates the realization of cognitive capabilities such as perception, learning, reasoning, planning, and execution for technical systems including humanoid robots, flexible manufacturing systems, and autonomous vehicles. In this paper we describe cognitive technical systems using a sensor-equipped kitchen with a robotic assistant as an example. We will particularly consider the role of Artificial Intelligence in the research enterprise.Key research foci of Artificial Intelligence research in CoTeSysinclude (茂戮驴) symbolic representations grounded in perception and action, (茂戮驴) first-order probabilistic representations of actions, objects, and situations, (茂戮驴) reasoning about objects and situations in the context of everyday manipulation tasks, and (茂戮驴) the representation and revision of robot plans for everyday activity.
