The rational behind focussing on simple meal preparation and office services tasks is to keep the implementation efforts feasible, while not at all restricting the scientific results of the project. text/html 2014-09-02T09:51:21+00:00 http://robohow.org/project/impact?rev=1409651481&do=diff Scientific impact Robohow investigates the scientific foundations of a novel approach to the engineering and programming of cognition-enabled autonomous service robots that are to perform complex manipulation activities under “open-world” conditions. The basic idea of this programming approach is to use the huge set of task instructions and observations of the respective activities as resources for developing the libraries of control programs that are needed by service robots performing domesti… text/html 2014-09-02T09:51:21+00:00 http://robohow.org/project/work-packages?rev=1409651481&do=diff Work Package 1: Representation Objectives: * Development of representations of everyday activities in general as well as specializations for observations of humans performing tasks and logged robot task executions * Development of formal representation of knowledge and data needed for robotic cooking and kitchen tool manipulation skills * Methods for storing these formal robot skill representations, for reasoning upon them, for combining, learning, and constraining them, and for transfor…
