Archaeology, Neuroscience, & Robotics join forces to investigate robots that invent tools
Tool invention is an outstanding technological milestone in human history. If we understand these processes, a similar breakthrough can be envisioned in engineering.
To achieve it, METATOOL will investigate computational models of synthetic awareness based on human metacognition and validate them in robotic experiments.
The MetaTool Project is proudly funded by
the European Innovation Council of the EU
