The document outlines the objectives and plans of a group studying interactive systems like games, robotics, and mixed reality. The group aims to study the design of interactive systems, integrate them in experiments, and push limits of models controlling interactive behaviors. Specific goals include developing skills in real-time computing, sensor fusion, and adaptive control of motor behaviors. The group will create integrated systems through rapid prototyping and plans to work on game development, natural interfaces, robotics, and technological presentations.
2. Group Objectives Study the design and engineering requirements of interactive systems. Integrate interactive systems in experimental settings. Develop skills in the design and implementation of interactive systems. Push the limits of existing models for the control and behavior of interactive systems.
