Robotics is changing. The amount of software available (and needed) is growing. For better
or worse, the glue that holds that software together, the middleware, has a big impact on its …

The complexity of humanoid robots is increasing with the availability of new sensors,
embedded CPUs, and actuators. This wealth of technologies allows researchers to …

Tantalizing evidence derived from psychophysics and developmental psychology
experiments has shown that attention is task-dependent. Two characteristics of human …

This study describes the transfer of object gras** skills between two different humanoid
robots with different software frameworks. We realize such a knowledge and skill transfer …

Develo** reusable software is hard; systematically develo** high quality reusable
software components is even harder. Separating computational components from …

Real-Time communication is important in distributed applications when timing constraints on
task execution and data processing play a fundamental role. Software engineering does not …

Systematically develo** high-quality reusable software components is a difficult task and
requires careful design to find a proper balance between potential reuse, functionalities and …

This paper presents a novel approach in the field of behaviour networks, using data packets
to traverse a behaviour network enabling an agent to more accurately select appropriate …

This deliverable describes the blueprint of the cognitive architecture of Xperience. In
