[AllUsers-ISR] Palestra hoje: Rachid Alami

[Paulo Menezes]

Bom dia,

hoje pelas 16:30 no Anfiteatro do ISR haverá a seguinte palestra proferida por 

Rachid Alami do LAAS-CNRS, França
 
A Joint Action approach to assistant and teammate robots}

This talk addresses some key decisional issues that are necessary for
a cognitive robot which shares space and tasks with a human.  We adopt
a constructive approach based on the identification and the effective
implementation of individual and collaborative skills inspired from
the Joint Action Concepts. The system is comprehensive since it aims
at dealing with a complete set of abilities articulated so that the
robot controller is effectively able to conduct in a flexible manner a
human-robot collaborative problem
solving and task achievement. These abilities include geometric
reasoning and situation assessment based essentially on
perspective-taking and affordances, management and exploitation of
each agent (human and robot) knowledge in a separate cognitive model,
human-aware task planning and interleaved execution of shared plans.

Short biography:

Dr. Rachid Alami is Senior Scientist at CNRS. He received an engineer
diploma in computer science in 1978 from ENSEEIHT, a Ph.D in Robotics
in 1983 from Institut National Polytechnique and an Habilitation HDR
in 1996 from Paul Sabatier University. He contributed and took
important responsibilities in several national, European and
international research and/or collaborative projects (EUREKA: FAMOS,
AMR and I-ARES projects, ESPRIT: MARTHA, PROMotion, ECLA, IST: COMETS,
IST FP6 projects COGNIRON, URUS, PHRIENDS, FP7 projects CHRIS,
SAPHARI, ARCAS, SPENCER, H2020 Projects MUMMER  France: ARA, VAP-RISP for planetary rovers,
PROMIP, ANR projects). His main research contributions fall in the
fields of Robot Decisional and Control Architectures, Task and motion
planning, multi-robot cooperation, and human-robot interaction.
Rachid Alami is currently the head of the Robotics and InteractionS group at LAAS
