Skilligent Robot Learning and Behavior Control System is a software package built to run on control computers of autonomous multi-task robots. The product is a robotic control system with a unique robot learning capability which is a must-have feature of any multi-task service robot. The software enables building multi-task autonomous robots which can learn procedures and skills directly from human users while maintaining a social contact with them.

The software includes a behavior control and coordination system, task and skill learning functions, a powerful computer vision system, a social human-to-machine interface, a database for storing knowledge and other integrated components. The software has been specifically designed for straightforward integration into control loops of PC-controlled robots.

The control system enables creation of robots which can be trained by end users - vs. programmed by a software engineer. The software analyzes the user's gestures, looks at the objects presented by the user, listens to the sounds and learns what the robot is supposed to do.

The software is based on recent advances in understanding of embodied cognition, grounded perception, robot learning, behavior coordination and human-to-machine interaction.

The control system is designed for use in various domains including

• Health-Care and Elder-Care robotics; an application study [PDF]
• Defense and Law Enforcement robotics
• Industrial/service robotics
• Research and Education robotics

The software needs to be integrated with sensors, motors, actuators and the robot's control system via a set of open APIs. On one side, the software controls every motion of the robot. On the other side, the software uses a video camera, a microphone and other sensors to receive guidance from a human user.

Skilligent software is an integrated software package written in C++ as a set of dynamic link libraries and a skillset database. It complements hard-wired robot control systems by playing a role of a high-level intelligence component that learns new skills via interaction and collaboration with an end user.
