The fourth and final demonstration of the project was completed successfully today. The two robots collaborated with two humans to via dialogue complete a set of tasks specified by the humans. Information needed to complete the tasks was dynamically detected and extracted by asking the humans to provide it. The video and the report will…
Psyclone 2.0 already supports user authored native C++ modules running in a mixed Windows/Linux cluster environment. Now we have added native Python 2.7 and 3.5 support so our users can create either inline or separate modules written entirely in Python. As part of the CoCoMaps project we are now integrating with ROS (Robot Operating System)…
Demo 1 produced a lot of data and we are working our way through it now. Preliminary figures suggest that the CCMCatalog enabled the robots to collaborate far more efficiently when working together and that the robots were able to detect and track humans in the scene. Stay tuned for more results…
Psyclone 2.0.2 has been released which includes a number of performance updates and improved network stability. Please visit the Download page to grab either the new binary builds or the Open Source version. We have now also finally released the first version of the full Psyclone Platform System documentation as well as the detailed CMSDK…
Simple robots operate through a perception-action cycle, or loop, which allows them to make decisions and form a response based on the information they receive on each cycle. Adding layers in a robot’s perception-action cycle enables it to “think outside the loop”, supporting parallel information processing on different levels simultaneously, thus making it generally more…
We now have turn-taking for two participants (one robot and one human) up and running on the Psyclone 2 platform. We use Nuance for speech recognition and speech generation and can handle interruptions and long pauses. Now we just need to work on starting and ending the conversation 🙂
