LAAS (Laboratoire d'Analyse et d'Architecture des Systèmes) is a research unit of the CNRS (National Centre for Scientific Research) in the field of Information and Communication Science and Technology.
Autonomous Robotics is one its research directions: the study and design of autonomous machines integrating perception, action and reasoning capabilities.
The overall objectives of this project are to study the perceptual, representational, reasoning and learning capabilities of embodied robots in human centered environments. The project will develop methods and technologies for the construction of such cognitive robots able to evolve and grow their capacities in close interaction with humans in an open-ended fashion.
