CEEDS: The collective experience of empathic data systems
The Collective Experience of Empathic Data Systems (CEEDS) consortium advances a novel integrated technology that supports the experiencing, analyzing and understanding of massive datasets. Key axiom of CEEDS is that discovery is the identification of patterns in complex data sets by the human brain. It is these implicit information processing capabilities that CEEDS seeks to exploit. The implicit cues, as measured through novel sensing systems, including bio-signals and non-verbal behaviour form the core information based on which the CEEDS system will process data and present them to the user(s).

IntellAct: Intelligent observation and execution of Actions and manipulations
IntellAct addresses the problem of understanding and exploiting the meaning (semantics) of manipulations in terms of objects, actions and their consequences for reproducing human actions with machines. It comprises three building blocks: (1) Learning: Abstract, semantic descriptions of manipulations are extracted from video sequences showing a human demonstrating the manipulations; (2) Monitoring: In the second step, observed manipulations are evaluated against the learned, semantic models; (3) Execution: Based on learned, semantic models, equivalent manipulations are executed by a robot.
