Acronym DARE
Name Development of Emotion-based Robotic Agents
Funding Reference FCT - POSI/P/EEI/12184/1998
Dates 01-1999|01-2004
Summary

The aim of this project is the study and development of methodologies and tools necessary to implement emotional robotics agents capable of dealing with unstructured and dynamic environments. Therefore, the goal is not the optimization of some particular ability, but instead the research focus is put on general competence to learn, adapt itself and survive. In order to practically test these ideas, a small autonomous robot will be adapted and used based on technology already developed and tested.
