Research project Advanced Adaptive Intelligent Systems
Working with humans is incredibly difficult for robots. This project aims to develop new ways for robots and intelligent agents to understand, interact with, and adapt to the complex and collaborative ways we humans work together to get through our everyday lives.

The goal of the project is to develop social robots that can understand human communication and behaviour and adapt their actions according to the situation. This is relevant for the development of robots in homes, in education and in health care as well as for robots working together with humans in small-scale manufacturing.
A use case scenario is an intelligent kitchen assistant that helps humans to cook and perform other chores, specifically designed for seniors. The system interacts via speech and physical collaboration and adapts its actions by a self-regulating “perception-production loop”.
This project is a collaboration between the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences (DSV) at Stockholm University, the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), and the School of Engineering Sciences in Chemistry, Biotechnology and Health (CBH) at KTH.
