RobotDoC

The RobotDoC research will focuss around 16 projects linked to the 16 Fellow's research activities. The projects will investigate the development of different sensorimotor and cognitive capabilities in humanoid robots such as iCub and ASIMO. The list of research projects, and associate lead partners, is provided below. Please contact the lead researcher if you are interested in any of these research projects.
