DESCRIPTION:Dr. Rachid Alami\, CNRS\nThis talk addresses some key decision
 al issues that are necessary for a cognitive robot which shares space and 
 tasks with a human. We adopt a constructive approach based on the identif
 ication and effective implementation of individual and collaborative skill
 s. The system is comprehensive since it aims at dealing with a complete se
 t of abilities articulated so that the robot controller is effectively ab
 le to conduct in a flexible manner a human-robot collaborative problem sol
 ving and task achievement. These abilities include geometric reasoning and
  situation assessment based essentially on perspective-taking and afforda
 nces\, management and exploitation of each agent (human and robot) knowled
 ge in a separate cognitive model\, human-aware task planning and interlea
 ved execution of shared plans.\n\nBio:\n\nDr. Rachid Alami is Senior Scien
 tist at CNRS. He received an engineer diploma in computer science in 1978
  from ENSEEIHT\, a Ph.D in Robotics in 1983 from Institut National Polyte
 chnique and a Habilitation HDR in 1996 from Paul Sabatier University He c
 ontributed and took important responsibilities in several national\, Euro
 pean and international research and/or collaborative projects (EUREKA: FA
 MOS\, AMR and I-ARES projects\, ESPRIT: MARTHA\, PROMotion\, ECLA\, IST: 
 COMETS\, IST FP6 projects COGNIRON\, URUS\, PHRIENDS\, FP7 projects CHRIS
 \, SAPHARI\, ARCAS\, SPENCER and H2020 project MuMMER\, France: ARA\, VAP
 -RISP for planetary rovers\, PROMIP\, ANR projects). His main research co
 ntributions fall in the fields of Robot Decisional and Control Architectu
 res\, Task and motion planning\, multi-robot cooperation\, and human-robo
 t interaction. Rachid Alami is currently the head of the Robotics and Int
 eractionS group at LAAS.
