09341 Abstracts Collection - Cognition, Control and Learning for Robot Manipulation in Human Environments

From 16.08. to 21.08.2009, the Dagstuhl Seminar 09341 ``Cognition, Control and Learning for Robot Manipulation in Human Environments '' was held in Schloss Dagstuhl~--~Leibniz Center for Informatics. During the seminar, several participants presented their current research, and ongoing work and open problems were discussed. Abstracts of the presentations given during the seminar as well as abstracts of seminar results and ideas are put together in this paper. The first section describes the seminar topics and goals in general. Links to extended abstracts or full papers are provided, if available.
