EU FP7 ICT Cognitive Systems Large-Scale Integrating Project

CogX - Cognitive Systems that Self-Understand and Self-Extend

The high level aim of this project is to develop a unified theory of self-understanding and self-extension with a convincing instantiation and implementation of this theory in a robot. By self-understanding we mean that the robot has representations of gaps in its knowledge or uncertainty in its beliefs. By self-extension we mean the ability of the robot to extend its own abilities or knowledge by planning learning activities and carrying them out. The project involves six universities and about 30 researchers.

In these pages you will find:

• a description of the high level aims of the project for non-specialists.
• a summary of the background to the project, aims and benefits.
• a copy of the CogX proposal, and the project workplan.
• a list and copies of publications to date (to appear).
• videos and summaries of our results (to appear).

The project began on 1st May 2008, and runs until June 30th 2012.

If you have any queries about the project, please contact the project coordinator Jeremy Wyatt.
