 +===== KnowRob -- Robot Knowledge Processing =====
 +
 +KnowRob is a knowledge processing system that combines knowledge representation 
 +and reasoning methods with techniques for acquiring knowledge from different 
 +sources and for grounding the knowledge in a physical system. It provides
 +robots with knowledge to be used in their tasks, for example action 
 +descriptions, object models, environment maps, and models of the robot'
 +hardware and capabilities. The knowledge base is complemented with reasoning
 +methods and techniques for grounding abstract, high-level information about
 +actions and objects in the perceived sensor data.
 +
 +KnowRob became the main knowledge base in the ROS ecosystem and is actively 
 +being used in different academic and industrial research labs around the 
 +world. Several European research projects use the system for a wide range
 +of applications, from understanding instructions from the Web ([[http://www.robohow.eu|RoboHow]]),
 +describing multi-robot search-and-rescue tasks ([[www.sherpa-project.eu|SHERPA]]), assisting elderly
 +people in their homes (SRS) to industrial assembly tasks ([[http://www.smerobotics.org|SMErobotics]]).
 +
 +KnowRob is an open-source project hosted at [[http://github.com/knowrob|GitHub]]
 +that also provides extensive documentation on its [[http://www.knowrob.org|website]] -- from getting-started guides to tutorials for advanced topics in robot knowledge representation.
