We have just published a systematic review article in the journal Frontiers in Robotics and AI. The article, titled A survey of ontology-enabled processes for dependable robot autonomy analyses the use of formal ontologies in the improvement of robot autonomy. A summary of the article: The article has been the Read more…
Ricardo Sanz will give a talk on “Conscious Machines” at the Industriales Research Meeting 2024 (IRM24). The talk will summarily describe research activities of the Autonomous Systems Laboratory in the domain of conscious, adaptive, autonomous systems. Get the PDF of the talk here:
We got our first review from the European Commission on November 15, 2023. Everything went smooth and we received very positive feedback and valuable recommendations from the review team to continue our work in the CORESENSE project. Get info, details and public document from the project website: coresense.eu
We have just started the CORESENSE project with a kick-off meeting at the School of Industrial Engineering of UPM (UPM ETSII). We have been working together for two days, understanding each other, clarifying the scope of the work and organizing the first steps in this ambitious project. Universidad Politécnica de Read more…
We have been performing field experiments with some of our systems in the Belgium ground. This was done the days before our second review meeting. This is the whole team in the Belgian forest. The following video shows the TalTech team and the RM3 robot -and TUT and RCI observers- Read more…
Una charla de Ricardo Sanz en los cursos de verano de la Universidad de Alcalá. Dentro del curso Introducción a la ingeniería de Sistemas basada en Modelos se realizó esta charla en la que se descibieron las conexiones entre la ingeniería de sistemas basada en modelos y la construcción de Read more…
In October 1 we will start a new project on cognitive robotics: CORESENSE. Is it s project funded by the European Commission through the Horizon Europe programme in the topic “Pushing the Limits of Robotic Cognition”. In this project we explore the nature of understanding and its value in more Read more…
In a sense, full autonomy seems to be the central objective of any automatic control systems research program. But, for different reasons, it is not. Let’s analise some of the reasons for this apparent paradox. First, nobody in charge of real production systems want the plants to be fully autonomous because of Read more…
The Autonomous Systems Laboratory (ASLab) is a research group of UPM focused on the science and technology of autonomy. We investigate architectures and engineering methods for the construction of robust autonomous systems. Autonomy is a technical property of systems that make them capable of sustained provision of a particular service Read more…
