Software implementation of the phylogenetic abilities... (version 2.0)

Icubijcai.jpg

This is the addendum to the Deliverable 3.6 which is the second release of the part of iCub Cognitive Architecture. A placeholder document has been added to the RobotCub.org website with a pointer to this page. The demonstrations are provided here as videos.


The software implementation deriving from the work in WP3 (sensorimotor coordination models) is a collection of applications comprising YARP modules: each application realizes a given behaviour and runs independently on the iCub. The applications are available from the iCub applications documentation. The modules are described also in the iCub modules documentation.


Some of these applications and videos are shared with Deliverable 2.2 which is the final collection of iCub software (version 2.0).
