**ACROSS** is a Singular Strategic R&D Project led by Treelogic[1] funded by the Spanish Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Trade[2] activities in the field of [Robotics](/source/Robotics) and [Cognitive Computing](/source/Cognitive_informatics) over an execution time-frame from 2009 to 2011. ACROSS project involves a number higher than 100 researchers from 13 Spanish entities.

## ACROSS project objectives

ACROSS modifies the design of [social robotics](/source/Social_robot), blocked in providing predefined services, going further by means of [intelligent systems](/source/Artificial_intelligence). These systems are able to self-reconfigure and modify their behavior autonomously through the capacity for understanding, learning and software [remote access](/source/Virtual_private_network).

In order to provide an open framework for collaboration between universities, [research centers](/source/Research_center) and the Administration, ACROSS develops Open Source Services available to everybody.

## Three application domains

ACROSS works in three [application domains](/source/Application_domain):

- Autonomous living: robots are used as technological tools to help handicapped person into daily tasks.
- Psycho-Affective Disorders ([autism](/source/Autism)): robots are used to mitigate [cognitive disorders](/source/Cognitive_disorder).
- Marketing: robots are used to interact with humans in a [recreational](/source/Recreation) approach.
