Autonomous Agents

• Autonomy: ability to act without human

guidance and control

• Autonomy is sometimes viewed as danger for

mankind: we view it as a means to improve

performance

• Cooperative Multi Robot Systems require

autonomy

RoCKIn consists of robot competitions, symposiums,

educational RoCKIn camps and technology transfer workshops.

RoCKIn aims at acting as a catalyst for smarter, more dependable robots by

adopting the principles of challenge-driven innovation laid down by RoboCup,

facilitating cognitive and networked robot systems' testing, and streamlining

research and development through standardised testbeds and benchmarks.

ROVINA will develop methods for building accurate, textured 3D models of large sites including

annotations and semantic information. To construct the detailed model, it will combine innovative

techniques to interpret vision and depth data.
