    Approaching Manual Intelligence
    (KI - Künstliche Intelligenz: Vol. 24, No. 4, 2010) Maycock, Jonathan; Dornbusch, Daniel; Elbrechter, Christof; Haschke, Robert; Schack, Thomas; Ritter, Helge
    Grasping and manual interaction for robots so far has largely been approached with an emphasis on physics and control aspects. Given the richness of human manual interaction, we argue for the consideration of the wider field of “manual intelligence” as a perspective for manual action research that brings the cognitive nature of human manual skills to the foreground. We briefly sketch part of a research agenda along these lines, argue for the creation of a manual interaction database as an important cornerstone of such an agenda, and describe the manual interaction lab recently set up at CITEC to realize this goal and to connect the efforts of robotics and cognitive science researchers towards making progress for a more integrated understanding of manual intelligence.

    “KogniChef”: A Cognitive Cooking Assistant
    (KI - Künstliche Intelligenz: Vol. 31, No. 3, 2017) Neumann, Alexander; Elbrechter, Christof; Pfeiffer-Leßmann, Nadine; Kõiva, Risto; Carlmeyer, Birte; Rüther, Stefan; Schade, Michael; Ückermann, André; Wachsmuth, Sven; Ritter, Helge J.
    Cooking is a complex activity of daily living that requires intuition, coordination, multitasking and time-critical planning abilities. We introduce KogniChef, a cognitive cooking assistive system that provides users with interactive, multi-modal and intuitive assistance while preparing a meal. Our system augments common kitchen appliances with a wide variety of sensors and user-interfaces, interconnected internally to infer the current state in the cooking process and to provide smart guidance. Our vision is to endow the system with the processing and the reasoning skills needed to guide a cook through recipes, similar to the assistance an expert chef would be able to provide on-site.
