We have today released all the open source parts of the CoCoMaps project. Please visit the download page for viewing it. Do remember that the project runs inside the Psyclone Platform, so you will need this as well from, it can be downloaded here.
We’re excited to release Psyclone AIOS 2.1.1 — the most significant update to Psyclone since the 2.0 line. If you build real-time, distributed, publish/subscribe systems, this release makes Psyclone faster, more portable, and far easier to drive from the language you already use. Here’s what’s new since our last release (2.0.3). Psyclone now runs natively…
The CoCoMaps team is in Hannover demonstrating our turn-taking technology for robot-human natural conversations. You can find us in Hall 17 at the ECHORD stand C70. We are here with three other cool robotics projects and attracting a lot of attention.
A joint proposal by CMLabs and IIIM for the project CoCoMaps has been accepted by the ECHORD++ EU consortium for funding starting from September 2016.
