CoSy: Cognitive systems for cognitive assistants

CoSy (Cognitive Systems for Cognitive Assistants) was a four-year Integrated Project in the EU’s FP6 Cognitive Systems programme, active from September 2004 to August 2008. Coordinated by KTH in Sweden, its consortium brought together seven principal partners including the Universities of Birmingham, Freiburg and Ljubljana, CNRS, DFKI and TU Darmstadt, to pool robotics, AI and cognitive science expertise. The project systematically explored the architectures, representations and learning mechanisms needed for autonomous embodied systems to perceive, reason, plan, learn and communicate while understanding the context and consequences of their actions. These concepts were explored through a series of increasingly capable robot demonstrators, ranging from mobile exploration to the “PlayMate” table-top manipulation scenario, and were later distilled in the reference volume Cognitive Systems, shaping subsequent research on cognitive robotics and assistive systems.
