Interaction Lab
Interaction Lab
Research in Interaction Lab is focused on embodied/situated/distributed cognition in natural and artificial cognitive systems.
- sensorimotor interaction between cognitive agents (humans, animals, robots) and their environments,
- social interaction between people, between robots, and not least between humans and robots, and
- human interaction with different types of information technology, in particular decision support systems and computer games.
In terms of methodologies used, most of our projects currently are in bio-inspired cognitive robotics and (neuro-) computational modeling, but we are also working with cognitive ethnography of human-machine and human-human interaction, motion capture and behavioral experiments with human subjects. We also have three Nao robots, called Huey, Dewey and Louie, and a number of wheeled robots (some e-pucks, some old Kheperas, and a very, very old Nomad 200 called "Marvin").
Our research interests are in the fields of computer games and other interactable media. The goal is to carry out high quality research and development within our areas of interest.
ASSAR is a meeting place where education, innovation and research supply the industry with new solutions. The aim is to establish a world-leading integrated physical and virtual development environment for research, technological development, innovation and education.
