# About the project

## References

The <span class="title-ref">quantum-robot</span> package belongs to a
research project with the goal of study Quantum-Like modeling for
robotics applications. While the package provide a high level
abstraction, it is suggested to read the related research (at least to
skim it) in order to grasp the big picture behind it:

- [A Preliminary Study for a Quantum-like Robot Perception
  Model](https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.02771).
- [Multi-sensory Integration in a Quantum-Like Robot Perception
  Model](https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.16404).
- [Quantum-like Modeling of Cognitive Architectures for
  Robotics](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.22068511).

## Contributing

If you are interested in the project, we welcome new contributors of all
experience levels. For any question, [contact the
maintainer](mailto:info@davidelanza.it).

An example module with the docstring standard we adopted is available
[here](https://github.com/Davidelanz/quantum-robot/blob/master/docs/example/qrobot_doc.py).
