Publication: Awareness in robotics: An early perspective from the viewpoint of the EIC Pathfinder Challenge “Awareness Inside’’
01 January 2025
This work summarizes and discusses the projects funded by the EIC Pathfinder Challenge “Awareness Inside” call designed specifically for fostering research on natural and synthetic awareness.
Publication: Learning Multi-Reference Frame Skills from Demonstration with Task-Parameterized Gaussian Processes
25 December 2024
In this work, EMERGE partners from Delft University of Technology propose to learn such a representation without using task-specific heuristics within the context of multi-reference frame skill learning by superimposing local skills in the global frame.
Publication: Input-to-State Stable Coupled Oscillator Networks for Closed-form Model-based Control in Latent Space
15 December 2024
In this work, EMERGE partners from Delft University of Technology argue that a promising avenue for efficient and effective latent-space control is to leverage powerful and well-understood closed-form strategies from control theory literature in combination with learned dynamics, such as potential-energy shaping.

10 December 2024
EMERGE partners from UNIPI are involved in the organisation of the 3rd World Conference on eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI 2025) to be held in Istanbul, Türkiye, on July 9-11, 2025.
Publication: Streaming Continual Learning for Unified Adaptive Intelligence in Dynamic Environments
05 December 2024
In this work, EMERGE partners from the University of Pisa put forward a unified setting that harnesses the benefits of both CL and SML.
Publication: Berry Twist: a Twisting-Tube Soft Robotic Gripper for Blackberry Harvesting
25 November 2024
In this work, EMERGE partners from the Delft University of Technology introduce BerryTwist, a prototype robotic gripper specifically designed for blackberry harvesting.
