Interdisciplinary research, drawing from robotics,
artificial intelligence, neuroscience, psychology, and cognitive
science, is a cornerstone to advance the state-of-the-art in
multimodal human-robot interaction and neuro-cognitive modeling. Research on neuro-cognitive models benefits from the
embodiment of these models into physical, humanoid agents
that possess complex, human-like sensorimotor capabilities for
multimodal interaction with the real world. For this purpose,
we develop and introduce NICO (Neuro-Inspired COmpanion),
a humanoid developmental robot that fills a gap between
necessary sensing and interaction capabilities and flexible
design. This combination makes it a novel neuro-cognitive
research platform for embodied sensorimotor computational
and cognitive models in the context of multimodal interaction
as shown in our results.
