The main research focus will be on imitationlearning and movment primitives for the self-organization of motor control.A second topic is on learning oculomotor and oculo-manual control. Dynamicmovement primitives will be investigated for full arm and full body movementgeneration. We will continue to develop new learning algorithms for high-demonsionalmotor control, with a focus on cerebellum-like learning andmodular motorcontrol. On the new robot, we hope to investigate the research topics abovein the example tasks of ball juggling, ball bouncing, drumming, and locomotion.
