Objectives

The Collaborative Research Center 588 (CRC 588) presents its current research activities and results towards the realization of humanoid robots, which are able to act and interact in human-centered environments. In this workshop, presentations of the different research areas will be given and discussed. The presentations will deal with aspects of learning, multimodal interaction and dialog, human motion analysis, mechatronics, control and system integration in the CRC. In addition, live demonstrations, in particular of the ARMAR humanoid robots interacting with humans, grasping and manipulating objects, and navigating in a kitchen environment will be shown. Finally, invited experts will discuss and present their position statements regarding challenges and future research directions in the area of humanoid robotics.
