The MATHESIS project has successfully ended on Jan 31, 2009.
Major results and achievements of this project are highlighted in the following links: Computational Modelling, Robotic Embodiment, Neurobiological studies and Developmental Studies.
The visitor interested in a more complete view of the project results is reffered to the project yearly reports (1st year, 2nd year, final report), as well as the publications that have resulted from MATHESIS.
Robotic Embodiments
We have implemented artificial agent embodiments to assess the bilateral bio-inspired model implementing the overlapping observation\execution pathways revealed by brain imaging studies.
  • The implementation of the model is based on Hoap-2 humanoid simulator properly modified to accomplish grasping behaviors.
  • The model is physically instantiated on the Hoap-3 humanoid robot that learns to execute and recognize a range of different reaching-to-grasp behaviors.
See video :Behavior 1 - Sphere grasp with hand directed upwards
See video :Behavior 2 - Box grasp with hand directed downwards
See video :Behavior and activations - Sphere grasping and model internal activations
