Together with the IMA/ZLW & IFU Institute Cluster, RWTH Aachen University and the Department for Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Robotics Group, FH Aachen we founded a new joint team to participate in the RoboCup Logistics League sponsored by Festo (LLSF)

As a preparation for RoboCup 2013 in Eindhoven, there will be a Hackathon from February 25th to March 1st. The goal of this Hackathon is to develop high-level programs for reasoning and behavior execution for the new tasks and challenges in the LLSF. integrate a robotics system based on the Robotino robot, that can complete certain logistics task in a restricted environment.

In this seminar we will study several different approaches to and aspects of plan and activity recognition. Recognizing what other agents are doing is an important aspect of intelligent systems. For example, a domestic service robot needs to understand what the human is doing in order to interact with him in a reasonable way. And a self-driving car should know what the other traffic participants are doing right now and infer what they are going to do in the next moments. Different domains bring along different problems and needs for levels of expressiveness like partial observability, incomplete knowledge, non-deterministic actions, adversarial agents, potentially hazardous situations. We will study some of the latest research on these problems and work out the particular strengths and weaknesses.

The topics include recent papers on plan and activity recognition.

The SS 2013 proseminar will be on different (sub-)topics from artificial intelligence. We largely follow the lines of the well known textbook by Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig "Artificial Intelligence - A Modern Approach".

See Campus for announcements for

• Lecture and tutorial
• Exam

Note:

• To access the L2P room, you need to register for the course in Campus ("Zum klassischen Anmeldeverfahren"). There we publish slides, announcements, etc.
• To take the exam, you need to do the modular registration process which closes 23 November.

An announcement of the course can eventually be found in the course information system CAMPUS.

Only students that do not need to enroll at the ZPA for the exam need to register here. For instance, these are diploma students or students who are currently pursuing their Bachelor degree but intend to use the exam for their Master's studies.

The registratration will be open until March 16.

Fields marked with an asterisk are mandatory.

Stefan Schiffer, Niklas Hoppe, and Gerhard Lakemeyer received the Best Student Paper Award at the International Conference on Agents and Artifical Intelligence (ICAART 2012) in Vilamoura, Portugal for their paper "Flexible Command Interpretation on an Interactive Domestic Service Robot".
