Intelligent Social Robots and Cognitive Robotics Benchmarks

Luca Iocchi Sapienza University of Rome, Italy

NSF Sponsored Workshop: Research Issues at the Boundary of AI and Robotics AAAI 2015

Intelligent social robots

• Symbolic high-level representation of the information
• Robots acting in populating environments satisfying

user needs must represent information at the same level of abstraction of humans

• Relate high-level symbolic abstract (AI)

representations with low-level, numeric (robotics) implementations.

Cognitive robotics evaluation and benchmarks

• Define relevant tasks and performance metrics for

cognitive (intelligent) robots

• Examples:
• Long-term collection of semantic information

about the environment (on-board sensors + human collaboration)

• RoboCup@Home General Purpose Service Robot

Cognitive robotics evaluation and benchmarks

General Purpose Service Robot

Given a set of known objects, known locations and known persons, execute a randomly on-line generated task from a set

• f templates.

Integrated research in AI & Robotics

• "Integrated AI and Robotics" as keyword in main AI

& robotics conferences and journals

• Create a community of researchers and developers

that agree on what are the scientific goals, the expected results and the performance evaluation methodology of this research line.

AI ???

• Teach, develop and test more integrated systems
