Final Report Abstract

Founded on a vision of a human-friendly technology that adapts to users’ needs and is easy and intuitive to use, CITEC has established a new and highly interdisciplinary field: Cognitive Interaction Technology. Sharing the vision of AI – to understand and replicate cognition – CITEC focused on interacting, closed loop systems that involve cognitive agents, such as humans, robots, animals and intelligent devices. It connected insights from computer science/robotics, biology, psychology, sports science and linguistics – along with methods from mathematics and physics – in order to elucidate the interplay and roles of motion intelligence, attentive systems, situated communication, memory and learning for enabling cognitive interaction. Extending over two funding phases in the Excellence Initiative, CITEC started out with research on important isolated aspects of cognitive interaction, such as dextrous manipulation, bio-inspired robots and social interaction and moved towards increasing integration of system components. This enabled the development and evaluation of a range of ambitious and major cognitive interaction demonstrator systems, including the bimanual FAMULA Robot, the expressive robot head Flobi, the insectoid robot HECTOR, the virtual training environment ICSPACE, and smart home environments, such as KogniHome. Our results have led to nearly 5,000 publications since its inception in 2007. We established a highly interdisciplinary research environment, linking more than 40 groups and over 700 researchers from the participating disciplines over the whole funding period. A dedicated research building with a central lab infrastructure provided a tailored infrastructure to connect research threads and labs for reproducible research with complex, data-intensive hardware-software prototypes. An integrated Graduate School allowed over 250 young researchers to gain their PhDs and then pursue successful careers. CITEC established a rich network of partners. These included international research networks, such as the CITEC-initiated Thematic Network Interactive Intelligent Systems (TN-IIS), a Virtual Faculty of leading AI, robotics and brain researchers, and strategic partnerships with major companies to anchor research in relevant applications: HONDA (for robotics), MIELE (for household appliances), BERTELSMANN (for intelligent media) and BETHEL (for assistance to elderly and disabled people), as well as numerous small and medium-sized local companies. CITEC was also a partner in numerous research consortia at the national and international level. Our researchers attracted close to €70 million of third-party funding in addition to the funding by the Excellence Initiative.
