Cognitive Systems for Personal Robots and Autonomous Vehicles

ROBIN is a user centered project which develops systems and services for the use of robots in an interconnected digital society. It comprises 5 sub-projects. ROBIN-Social develops integrated and configurable solutions for the personalization of assistive and social autonomous robots. ROBIN-Car develops computer vision methods devoted to autonomous driving and a prototype systems to be tested on an electric car. ROBIN-Context creates a support platform for the semantic representation and management of data that becomes context in scenarios of personalized robotic assistance and AADS. ROBIN-Dialog develops a set of scenarios for micro-worlds and the technology for the Romanian language processing to achieve situational dialogs in these micro-worlds. ROBIN-Cloud builds a support platform for collecting data coming from the sensors of robotic systems and IoT devices that offers Cloud Edge and Cloud Robotics computing.

The ROBIN project is financed by UEFISCDI “Complex Projects” programme, PNIII.

Artificial Intelligent Ecosystem for self-management and sustainable quality of life in AAL

CAMI is offering a fully integrated Ambient Assisted Living solution by offering services for health management, home management and wellbeing (including socialization, and reduced mobility support). CAMI builds an artificial intelligence ecosystem, which allows seamless integration of any number of ambient and wearable sensors with a mobile telepresence system endowed with multimodal interaction (touch, voice, person detection), including a telepresence robot. This will allow older adults to self-manage their daily life and prolong their involvement in the society while allowing their informal caregivers to continue working whilst caring for their loved ones.

The consortium comprises 8 partners from Romania, Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark, and Polland. AI-MAS is the consortium coordinator.

The CAMI project is founded by the EU Active and Assisted Living Programme (Call 2014 – “Care for the Future”).

NemoDrive

Nemodrive brings together a group of motivated researchers with the required resources and support to build a self-driving car that will be tested on the UPB campus streets. The prototype will be developed to tackle the particularities of campus and other local roads. In this context, some of the most recurring challenges of self-driving cars will be empirically put to test, in a small scale, un-controlled environment.

Nemodrive is founded on a desire that drives both its theoretical as well as empirical aspirations: to continuously drive interest and understanding of machine learning.
