Organization Information
Jožef Stefan Institute (JSI) is the leading Slovene research organisation. It is responsible for a broad spectrum of basic and applied research in the fields of natural sciences and engineering. The staff of around 950 specialises in research in electronics and information science, physics, chemistry and biochemistry, nuclear technology, energy use, and environmental science. JSI will take part in the CoLLaboratE project through the Department of Automatics, Biocybernetics, and Robotics (ABR). This department consists of 26 researchers and is an integration of specialists in robotics with the emphasis on humanoid robotics, learning and control, computer vision, kinesiology and biomechanics. The basic impetus of the group is to study properties of human motion, sensorimotor control, and perception to create robots with human-like capabilities. The main goal is to apply these new systems to various industrial and non-industrial applications, with the focus on aiding people in their work and home environments.
