Postdoctoral research visit to CMU
I spent 4 months, September-December 2011, at Computer Science department within Carnegie Mellon University. This is one of the best universities world-wide in Computer Science and Robotics.
I would like to thank professor Manuela Veloso for hosting me at CMU and for her valuable advises, CORAL robot lab members for their welcome and help with CoBot and Nao, and Reid Simmons and Maxim Makatchev for their help with IPC and Tank software.
In a nutshell, my research was focused in a software module to connect heterogeneous robots, such as CoBot, Tank and Nao, to perform cooperative tasks in an implicit way. As an example, a cooperative task for receiving and escorting a visitor to an office in a different building was possible due to this project.
I also participated in a joint project with Anna Hristoskova from Gent University. The project focused on the distributed collaboration of multiple robot guides providing a building tour to groups of participants. Semantic techniques were adopted in order to formally define the tour topics, content, and the robot and human profiles.
