COMIRIT

The Comirit Project is enhancing robotic and software systems with commonsense intelligence. We believe that the essential components of powerful commonsense-enabled systems have already been invented, but the unsolved challenge lies in combining and exploiting these inventions for their full potential... Our objectives are short-term: we seek pragmatic approaches and aim to design systems that can be built in weeks or months, rather than decades. However, we remain inspired by the long term goals of creating systems that have deep human-like understanding of the real world, and therefore seek open-ended designs that can be gradually evolved into more capable systems... We believe that commonsense will be the fundamental driver behind the next generation of software applications, user interfaces and robots. Commonsense allows robots and software to truly understand the world and appropriately respond to unexpected situations rather than merely following brittle pre-defined rules that..
