POSTPONED: Anita Keshmirian (Forward College, Berlin), “Many minds, diverging morals: Human groups vs. AI in moral decision-making”

Marchstraße 23, 10587 Berlin, Room 2.057

Abstract "Moral judgments are inherently social, shaped by interactions with others in everyday life. Despite this, psychological research has rarely examined the impact of social interactions on these judgments. In our study, we explored the role of group dynamics in moral decision making by having small groups (4-5 participants) evaluate moral dilemmas first individually, then

Berlin Science Week: Science Slam of the Berlin Clusters of Excellence

Roadrunner's Paradise Saarbrücker Str. 24 10405 Berlin Germany

Slammin’ like there’s no tomorrow – at our cluster science slam, researchers try everything to entertain their audience, regardless of whether the subject is e.g. mathematics, neuroscience or active material. The sky is the limit when it comes to what’s possible. Costumes, props, movies, power-point presentations or other experimental setups – it is all allowed.

Pawel Romanczuk (Science of Intelligence), “Introduction to complexity science: Part II”

SCIoI, Marchstraße 23, 10587 Berlin, Room 2.057

Pawel Romanczuk holds a professorship on Complexity Research in Adaptive Systems at HU. For SCIoI, he works at the interface of applied mathematics, theoretical physics, and behavioral biology. He focuses on collective behavior of organismic systems. His research bridges analytical and synthetic sciences to study self-organization, evolutionary adaptations, and functional dynamical behavior. This talk will

Sylvain Calinon (IDIAP, EPFL), “Frugal learning of manipulation skills in robotics”

SCIoI, Marchstraße 23, 10587 Berlin, Room 2.057

Many applications in robotics would benefit from robots being able to learn manipulation skills from only few demonstrations or trials. This contrasts with the ongoing trend in machine learning of constantly increasing the amount of data required to learn tasks. The main challenge of acquiring manipulation skills from limited training data is to find inductive

Thursday Morning Talk

Hideki Kozima (Tohoku University), “Child-robot interactions for therapeutic and educational research and practices”

SCIoI, Marchstraße 23, 10587 Berlin, Room 2.057

Abstract: Research in developmental robotics includes modeling human intelligence and the process of its emergence in robotic systems. A novel research paradigm in psychology is emerging in conjunction with such efforts regarding reproducing human-specific communication abilities in robots and observing how children interact with robots with various communication capabilities. I will discuss such research trends

Majid Khadiv (TU München), “Optimal control and learning for contact-rich robotics”

SCIoI, Marchstraße 23, 10587 Berlin, Room 2.057

The past few years have witnessed significant progress in the field of legged locomotion and manipulation. This is mainly due to the availability of high-performance hardware as well as development of algorithms that scale to high-dimensional, hybrid and under-actuated systems. In this talk, I will present my recent research efforts, mainly on the algorithmic side,
