Welcome to the SENSOPAC Project 

"SENSOrimotor structuring of Perception and Action for emergent Cognition"

SENSOPAC stands for "SENSOrimotor structuring of Perception and Action for emergent Cognition". The project combines machine learning techniques and knowledge about biological perception-action mechanisms.
The goal is to develop a complete artificial cognitive system that can solve complex haptic/touch problems using active sensing.

The overall aims of the SENSOPAC project are to:

• Develop real-time neuromorphic and computing platforms for cognitive robotics.
• Develop methodologies to investigate cognition in the brain
• Build a physical system for haptic cognition
• Improve our understanding of the neurobiological substrate for action-perception systems
• Understand the sensorimotor foundation of perception and cognition

SENSOPAC is funded under the EU Framework 6 IST Cognitive Systems Initiative. It will take 4 years from January 1st, 2006 and its 12 participants come from 9 different countries.
