| ====SHERPA - Smart collaboration between Humans and ground-aErial Robots for imProving rescuing activities in Alpine environments==== | === ACAT - Learning and Execution of Action Categories === |
| {{:projects:sherpa.png?200 |}} The SHERPA project focuses to support search and rescue activities in a real-world hostile environment like the alpine environment. The robots used in this projects consist of a mixed group of ground and aerial robots, who are guided by the "human" rescuer, also called busy genius. | |
| The research activity here focuses on how the "busy genius" and the SHERPA robots interact and collaborate with their own features and capabilities toward the achievement of a common goal. | |

| By providing a mix of advanced control and cognitive capabilities which characterizes this system, the rescuer will be supported bye improving his awareness of the rescue scene. | {{:projects:acat_logo.png?200 |}} ACAT focuses on the problem how artificial systems (robots) can understand the meaning of information made for humans. For this ACAT generates a dynamic process memory by extraction and storage of action categories from human compatible sources. Action categories include the actual action-encoding but also its context (“background”) and allow for generalization (for example replacement of objects in a given action). Thus, the ACAT system uses action categories to create action sequences (plans). These plans are grounded by perception and execution, which takes place by a robot making use of the generalization properties of the stored action categories. The ultimate purpose is to equip the robot – on an ongoing basis – with abstract, functional knowledge, normally made for humans, about relations between actions and objects leading to a system which can act meaningfully. As industrially very relevant scenario, ACAT uses “instruction sheets” (manuals) made for humans and translates these into a robot-executable format. Similar to computer science, where the development of the first compilers had led to a major step forward, the main impact of ACAT is that the project develops a robot-compiler, which translates human understandable information into a robot-executable program. |
