Overview
We use the term "cognitive robotics" to refer to robots with higher level cognitive functions that involve knowledge representation and reasoning.
Features
- In the Robotics and Systems Engineering programme from University of Salford, you will work on robots with cognitive capabilities, which are key elements to autonomous systems, such as perception processing, attention allocation, anticipation, planning, reasoning about other agents, and perhaps reasoning about their own mental states.
- Several projects are currently undertaken in this area in collaboration with psychologists and neuroscientist from European institutions.
