Machine Learning and Cognitive Robotics: Opportunities and Challenges

The chapter reviews recent developments in cognitive robotics, challenges and opportunities brought by new developments in machine learning (ML) and information communication technology (ICT), with a view to simulating research. To draw insights into the current trends and challenges, a review of algorithms and systems is undertaken. Furthermore, a case study involving human activity recognition, as well as face and emotion recognition, is also presented. Open research questions and future trends are then presented
