Explore the Social AI sub-teams
Below are the various aspects of the AI 4 Everyone robotics team you can explore.
- You will develop an integrated software system that can perform navigation, task planning, human-robot interaction and robot learning
- The system will be evaluated on simulation platforms such as the simulation league in RoboCup Rescue
- You will design and build a small robot capable of traversing the test arena in the RoboCup Rapidly Manufactured Robot Challenge
- You will progress in later years to larger robots (RoboCup Rescue robots; Toyota Humans Support Robot; Softbank NAO humanoid robots for RoboCup soccer)
- You will develop advanced deep learning methodologies for vision-based navigation in outdoor and indoor environments
- The methods will be developed for autonomous driving (outdoor) and robot navigation (indoor) scenarios
- You will develop conversational robots with multimodal interaction (i.e., being able recognise gestures and facial expressions that accompany spoken dialogue)
- The methods will be evaluated in various experimental settings
