Project objectives
The Cognitive Robotics Initiative for Industry 5.0 project aims to integrate cognitive robotics into manufacturing processes in particular. The goal is to develop seamless collaboration between humans and robots so that robots understand the objectives of their tasks, adapt to changes, and work flexibly alongside humans. The project focuses on three main areas: improving human-robot interaction, developing intuitive programming methods, and transferring skills through imitation learning.
