Artificial Development Approach to Presence Technologies

Adapt is funded within the FET Proactive Initiative 2002 PRESENCE RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

ADAPT is now terminated. For more information on some recent development of this line of research please see http://www.robotcub.org

Objectives

 		The sense of presence arises from the perception of the relationship between our body and the environment and originates from our senses as well as from our past experiences. The main objective of ADAPT will be to study how the perception of self in the environment emerges during the early stages of human development and to implement an artificial instance of such developmental processes in an embodied artifact. In particular we propose to investigate the process of building a coherent representation of visual, auditory, haptic sensations. To achieve this a twofold strategy is pursued. On one side we aim to realize an artificial system capable of building internal representations. On the other side we will investigate when and how the developing brain starts to produce the unique experience-based repertoire of intentional percepts and actions.
