Short description of the project

ACAT addresses the problem how artificial systems (robots) can understand and utilize information made for humans. For this, ACAT generates a dynamic process memory by extraction and storage of action categories from large bodies of human compatible sources (text, images). Our role in the project is to design appropriate strategies to automatically generate low level sensor motor processes that are needed by a robot to execute the generated action sequences.
