Ontology Partitioning Using E-Connections Revisited

Published in In Proc. 31st DL, vol. 2211 of CEUR, 2018

We revisit the technique for partitioning ontologies using E-connections introduced by Cuenca Grau et al. (2006).

Prolog as a Querying Language for MongoDB

Published in arXiv preprint arXiv:2110.01284., 2021

We propose a new database querying language called Mongolog which is syntactically a subset of the Prolog language, and we define its operational semantics through translations into MongoDB aggregation pipelines.

Everyday Activity Robot Manipulation in an Interactive Learning Environment

Published:

At the IROS 2023 in Detroit, I conducted a tutorial on implementing knowledge representation and reasoning in cognitive robotics. This session, part of a broader teaching module, demonstrated how to develop AI systems that can autonomously perform complex tasks by deconstructing the robot control system. Utilizing Jupyter Notebooks within a Docker environment for accessibility, the tutorial covered the integration of knowledge representation, planning, and simulation, providing a holistic learning experience in cognitive-enabled robotics.

Presentation of the innovative Virtual Research Building (VRB) for AI-powered and cognition-supported robotics (Vorstellung des innovativen Virtual Research Building (VRB) für AI-powered und kognitionsgestützte Robotik)

Published:

The University of Bremen’s Institute for Artificial Intelligence (IAI) presented an innovative Virtual Research Building (VRB) for AI-powered and cognition-supported robotics. The VRB integrates resources for the entire research and innovation pipeline, offering comprehensive access to software components, CRAM architecture, and interactive learning materials. It supports dynamic collaboration and open-source contributions through virtual labs and promotes industry partnerships. The VRB aims to enhance the development of deployable robotic agents, providing a sustainable framework for continuous innovation in robotics.
