Cognitive systems are engineering systems with the capability to sense and understand an unstructured environment. Main challenge is to design systems that can carry out useful tasks such as manipulation and grasping, exploration and navigation, communication and interaction etc. autonomously or semi-autonomously.
Cognitive systems is addressed in the ICT work programme 2011/12 (p.36) under the following challenges/objectives:
> Challenge 2: Cognitive systems and robotics
Objective 2.1: Cognitive Systems and Robotics
