Current software frameworks in cognitive robotics integrating different computational paradigms

Abstract

The objective of this workshop is to highlight and discuss existing examples of software frameworks combining autonomous robot systems and cognition research. We are targeting systems able to combine high-level cognitive models and heterogeneous robot system in a direct and robust manner. We are also particular interested in frameworks that allow the integration of different paradigms of computation intelligence, e.g. declarative languages and/or artificial neural networks. The workshop is intended as a platform for exchange and discussion which might lead to the identification of general problems and possible solutions to be considered in future software design for complex robot systems. In the long run this might help in developing standards providing a direct knowledge transfer and exchange between cognitive system research, industry and application developers.
