One of the greatest challenges facing robotics research today is the design of robots able to act autonomously at a cognitive level, and to interact with people in a natural way. Major progress has been accomplished in several aspects of robotics: perception, navigation, localization, SLAM, motion a

The objective of PANAM project is to develop numeric instruments and a virtual library of resources, for musical and artistic pedagogy based on collective practices. The goal of this program is to create software and hardware tools, and innovative pedagogical contents for teachers and trainers. Thre

The project of basic research we are proposing relies on the formalism of Abstract Categorial Grammars (ACG). One of the features of this framework is to consider surface forms and more abstract forms with the same mathematical tools, both levels sharing the same status. It results in the facts that

When robots leave industrial mass production to help with household chores, the requirements for robot platforms will change. While industrial production requires strength, precision, speed, and endurance, domestic service tasks for household robots are: robust navigation in indoor environments, d

On a daily basis, millions of people post their opinions on Web 2.0 and discuss about various topics such as the news, politics, the latest results of athletics, etc. These kinds of postings contribute to the production and dissemination of the image of different entities, such as that of politician
