MindRACES — anticipatory cognitive systems

EU FP6 project on anticipatory cognitive mechanisms — building systems able to predict the outcome of their own actions.

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

noze’s role

noze contributed to the platform and software tooling of the consortium, and still maintains the project’s archive site.
