MetaTool
A Metapredictive Model of Synthetic Awareness for Enabling Tool Invention
Description: 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 this, MetaTool will investigate computational models of synthetic awareness based on human metacognition and validate them in robotic experiments.

CoreSense
A Hybrid Cognitive Architecture for Deep Understanding
Description: The CoreSense project aims to develop a theory of understanding and awareness for autonomous robots, which will be implemented as a reference architecture and engineering toolbox. This theory and technology will be used in building autonomous robots with increased capabilities to work without/with limited supervision and improved intuitive, safe, and efficient cognitive, social, and physical capabilities.

MROS
Metacontrol for ROS2 Systems
Description: The objective of MROS is to leverage the RobMoSys model-based approach at runtime, to provide a solution for ROS2 systems, based on architectural self-adaptation driven by ontology reasoning on the architecture models. MROS will connect the ROS2 and RobMoSys frameworks, and further enable a metamodeling-sound usage of ontologies for robot software architecting.
