CoSy - Cognitive Systems for Cognitive Assistants

The main goal of the EU project CoSy is to advance the science of cognitive systems through a multi-disciplinary investigation of requirements, design options and trade-offs for human-like, autonomous, integrated, physical (eg., robot) systems, including requirements for architectures, for forms of representation, for perceptual mechanisms, for learning, planning, reasoning and motivation, for action and communication.

Smart-Team

The goal of this project is to develop an autonomous vehicle based the Smart car. The project was created as a cooperation between the Autonomous Systems Lab at EPFL, Lausanne, and the research group for Autonomous Intelligent Systems at ALU, Freiburg, to participate in the ELROB 2006 event, where 20 European teams demonstrated outdoor navigation technology.

mQube - A Mobile Multi-User Mixed Reality Environment

The goal of this project is to develop a mobile mixed reality system that helps multiple users to jointly plan spatial environments, such as a musical stage. The Mixed Reality Stage system provides tangible interfaces for virtual objects: Each may be bound to a real world placeholder, thus establishing an interaction unit. The virtual objects can then be shifted or turned by relocating their placeholders. This allows the users to move the virtual objects around in essentially the same intuitive way as the real counterparts. Even highly complex modifications to stage layout and lighting scenarios can thus be implemented as the group works with the Mixed Reality Stage.
