The project
MindRACES (From Reactive to Anticipatory Cognitive Embodied Systems) is a European research project funded by the EU 6th Framework Programme (Information Society and Technologies — Cognitive Systems, Project IST-511931), running from October 2004 to December 2007. Scientific coordinator: Rino Falcone (ISTC-CNR).
Research goals
Investigating anticipatory cognitive mechanisms — the ability of a system (biological or artificial) to predict the outcome of its own actions and to control perception by anticipating future stimuli. The domain crosses AI, neuroscience, psychology and cognitive engineering.
Results
- 80+ international scientific publications
- Software and robotic artefacts for active vision, robotic arm control, ambient intelligence
- International events: ABiALS 2008, Fall Symposium 2005
- 7 research institutions across Italy and Europe
