Cognitive Sensor Networks

Our overall goal is to develop a cognitive architecture which will allow autonomous and robust operation of sensor–actuator networks. To achieve this, the perception, concept formation, action cycle will be informed by domain theories of signal analysis, physical phenomena, and behavior. Example scenarios include cognitive vehicles and buildings in which the system understands itself and the activities in and around it by means of distributed video and other sensors. This includes discovery of the cognitive system’s own sensing and actuation capabilities.
