Hector Garcia de Marina (University of Granada), “Practical challenges in formation control and mobile robot swarms”
MAR 2.057Abstract: Robot swarms have the potential to assist us with simpler logistics in persistent missions involving vast scenarios. Robot swarms also promise added resilience to complete their objectives despite unforeseen difficulties. However, current demonstrations of swarm technology in unstructured environments only count on single-digit individuals. That is farther from what one would expect from the
Pavel Němec (Charles University), “Two independent origins of complex brains and intelligent behavior in birds and mammals”
Abstract: Over the last 20 years, it has been shown that birds and mammals are startlingly similar in their cognitive repertoire. Even the most intelligent taxa from each group – great apes and large corvids and parrots – match each other in most domains of cognition. This functional similarity is remarkable considering that birds and
Joshua B. Evans, “Creating Multi-Level Skill Hierarchies in Reinforcement Learning”
Abstract: What is a useful skill hierarchy for an autonomous agent? In this talk, we will consider a possible answer based on a graphical representation of how the interaction between an agent and its environment may unfold. The proposed approach uses modularity maximisation as a central organising principle to expose the structure of the interaction

Verena Wagner (University of Konstanz), “On Pause: Suspending Judgment and Abstaining in Machine Learning”
Abstract: Machine Learning (ML) systems typically yield definitive outputs, even when the underlying probabilities do not justify a decision. This poses a significant challenge in medical applications, where patients rely on individualized diagnoses, treatments, and prognoses. A recent advancement in ML research addresses this issue by introducing so-called “abstention models,” which enable ML systems to

Caleb Weinreb (Harvard Medical School), “A seconds-long timescale in naturalistic behavior structures neural dynamics”
A core task of animal cognition is to carve the world up into relevant contextual states – based on sensory input, internal drives, and awareness of one’s own recent behavior – and then hold these state assignments in working memory as guides for action and anchors for learning. By training animals to perform asks with

Ralf M. Haefner (University of Rochester, NY), “How we move our eyes to collect information”
MAR 2.057Abstract Collecting new information about the outside world is a key aspect of brain function. In the context of vision, we move our eyes multiple times per second to accumulate evidence about a scene. Prior studies have suggested that this process is goal-directed and close to optimal. Here, we show that this process of seeking
