Learning meets time: a computational approach to learning in dynamic systems
Project Coordinator: A. Chiuso
Local Coordinator: A. Chiuso
Partners: Universita di Genova, Universita d Ferrara, IIT, Univ. Linkoping, Univ. of Seattle
Target applications: Autonomous Robots
Related research areas: System Identification
Keywords: System Identification, Adaption, Learning, Computational methods
Funding: MIUR

Description:  

The goal of this proposal  is to achieve fundamental scientific advances in the context of learning  dynamical systems, which will lay the grounds for the design of autonomous and artificially intelligent systems. We will pursue this goal through a new synergic and integrative approach that will draw, and merge, concepts and methods from control theory and machine learning. Effective computational frameworks will be developed exploiting in novel ways optimization techniques for processing complex high dimensional data sets.

 
 Our research will be ultimately aimed at the development of intelligent systems that can be applied, e.g., to a new generation of robot  human helpers and co-bots in domestic environments. These new robot (hereby called ``agents’’) will have adaptive effective cognitive systems to process sensory data, such as for example skin sensors and cameras, as well as adaptive control systems to be applied to novel actuators.

Description:
The objective of this project was to develop new design methods and a unified framework for the analysis of embedded control systems with distributed sensors. The methods should include explicit handling of computational and communication resource limitations, structural constraints and uncertainty. Our target application were mobile systems where a large mass of sensory data (e.g. from TV cameras) are acquired but particular attention is needed for management of structural and real-time complexity.
