It is the goal of the Collaborative Research Center 588 Humanoid Robots to develop concepts, methods, and components for a humanoid robot which shares its working space with humans. Our main focus of research is in the following areas: development of mechatronic components and construction of a demonstrator system, perception of user and environment, modelling and simulation of robot, environment and user, human-robot cooperation, and learning on different levels of behaviour. By the partially anthropomorphic robot system which is developed in this Collaborative Research Center, an important step is taken towards cooperating, multimodal and learning robot systems.
