About

Cognitive robotics is about developing intelligence in robots. The Cognitive Robotics research group at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) focuses primarily on how robots can best plan and carry out their subsequent actions, so three cognitive aspects come into play: perception, thinking and acting.

Overview

Cognition refers to intelligent behaviour, the essential characteristic of living beings. In humans, this behaviour is based on key cognitive capacities such as perception, action, emotion, language, learning, memory, reasoning and consciousness.

Features

The fundamental work of the Department of Cognitive Robotics at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) is used in various Delft field labs, where practical robot applications are being developed and tested on a small scale (RoboHouse, SAM|XL and AIRLab Delft).

From these field labs, the work eventually finds its way into practical applications in numerous industries, agriculture and horticulture, and retail
