The objective is the development of prototypes based on, but not limited to, vision systems which, with an incremental approach, exploit different robot capabilities oriented to the human presence recognition, human gesture recognition, human movement / arm trajectories replica and complete (physical) tasks learning by imitation.

Both real and virtual robots will be employed in the system development.

Cognitive aspects will be developed according to bio-mimicry approach looking for learning strategies and techniques in the human and animal world.
