Demo 1 – Video
Demo 1 went well with the robots successfully identifying their human partners – and the video editing is finally complete. In this video you can watch the full demo.

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.
The CoCoMaps project has been invited to exhibit our technology at the Hannover Messe 2017 in Germany. We will be showcasing our turn-taking technology running on the Psyclone 2 platform.
The stage has now been set for our robots to show off their capabilities so far. The robots are to map out an area which they scan for humans using search patterns. Each human detected will be identified using facial recognition. All information is instantly shared with the other robot via the CCMCatalog. Let’s see…
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 have completed Demo 2 of the project and the report and video are almost ready for publication. The robots behaved very well and worked together nicely to complete the tasks. They start up searching for humans to speak to (like in Demo 1) and once a human has been found one of the robots…
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…
