"THE CLUSTER OF EXCELLENCE "COGNITION FOR TECHNICAL SYSTEMS (CoTeSys)"


The CoTeSys cluster of excellence investigates cognition for technical
systems. Cognitive technical systems are equipped with artificial
sensors and actuators, integrated and embedded into physical systems,
and act in a physical world. They differ from other technical systems as
they perform cognitive control and have cognitive capabilities.

Cognitive control orchestrates reflexive and habitual behavior in accord
with longterm intentions. Cognitive capabilities such as perception,
reasoning, learning, and planning turn technical systems into systems
that "know what they are doing". The cognitive capabilities will result
in systems of higher reliability, flexibility, adaptivity, and better
performance. They will be easier to interact and cooperate with.

The CoTeSys cluster combines the research competence in neuroscience,
natural sciences, engineering, computer science, and humanities to
design, implement, and analyze the information processing mechanisms
needed for cognitive technical systems.

Dr. Haass will give an overview of the research in the different
research areas, tasks already accomplished, and future goals.
