The Humanoid Sensing and Perception is within Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia.
Our group studies algorithms and technologies that allow robots to sense the environment and react appropriately. Our strategy is to exploit the capability of robots to learn under human guidance or from the interaction with the environment by exploiting multiple sources of information (e.g. proprioception, vision, touch, and audition). We work on visual and tactile perception, for robot navigation and object manipulation. We also develop software tools and study software integration methodologies for the development of complex behaviors.
Our platforms are the iCub and R1 humanoid robots, we focus on applications in the domain of service robotics.

Whenever possible we make code related to our research available to the community with open-source licenses.
