3rd Computer Science Symposium at UEM
15-16 November 2007

Villaviciosa de Odón Campus – Universidad Europea de Madrid

The UEM Computer Science Symposium is a seven years old event hold at the Villaviciosa de Odon campus of the European University of Madrid. The aim of this symposium is to get computer science students and technology companies together.

This symposium is organized by the UEM Free Software and Linux user group (GLUEM) and by the UEM itself. This year, the symposium is sponsored by companies like Fon, Stratebi, Hakin9, Linux+, and website collaborators like TodoBI and Conscious-Robots.com.

Consious-Robot.com will be part of the event, offering a presentation about Cognitive Robotics and Machine Consciousness as part of the Symposium.

The AMOUSE (The Artificial Mouse Project) is a robot mouse designed to study the mouse behavior and the integration of somatosensory (whiskers) and visual sensory modalities.

This robotic mouse is built on top of a Khepera robot base (C) and includes an omniderectional camera (A) and artificial whisker sensors (B).

The whiskers are designed to emulate real rat whiskers movements. Rats move their whiskers in two dimensions. However, most of the time they use synchronized forward/backward sweeps. Therefore, this robot has simplified the model to a one degree of freedom movement. Additionally, every whisker is plugged into a capacitor microphone able to follow high-frequency movements of the whisker hair.

More information about this robot can be found in this paper. And this website: http://www.amouse.de/

The Huggable project started in the MIT Media Lab (The Robotic Life Group) in 2005. The Huggable is a new type of robotic companion for healthcare, education, and social communication. It is inspired in traditional companion animal therapy.

The Huggable is equipped with a full body multi-modal sensory skin (see the video below for details), quite mechanical servos, inertial sensors, eyes cameras, ear microphones, and mouth speaker. In addition, it has an embedded PC with WiFi (802.11) communications capability.

The Huggable project has two main components: the Huggable robot itself and a set of Huggable technologies. Additionally, the Huggable robot has two modes of function. On one hand, it can work as a fully autonomous robot interacting with the patient. On the other hand, it can also work as a semi-autonomous robot avatar with some level of human control via the Internet.

These capabilities make the Huggable robot a really interesting platform for many applications in the fields of healthcare and education.
