Abstract

This paper gives an overview of the current and forthcoming research projects of the Collaborative Research Center 588 "Humanoid Robots — Learning and Cooperating Multimodal Robots." The activities can be divided into several areas: development of mechatronic components and construction of a demonstrator system, perception of user and environment, modeling and simulation of robots, environment and user, and finally cooperation and learning. The research activities in each of these areas are described in detail. Finally, we give an insight into the application scenario of our robot system, i.e. the training setup and the experimental setup "household."
