Lecture by Prof. Karoline Wiesner, Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, University of Potsdam Abstract: I begin with an introduction to the nature of complex systems. From a foundational perspective, I will present a systematic description of their features. This will be followed by a brief discussion of the role of information theory in the analysis
What do sensitive robots, gripping plants and creative bacteria have in common? Let's find out together! In "CollActive Materials" experimental laboratory, a joint project of SCIoI and MoA, research and society come together to explore the materials of the future: Can they be more active or more intelligent than the materials of today? Come by to
Abstract: Social interaction and communication are supported by the integration of multimodal signals. One crucial social cue when interacting with other humans are facial expressions. In Project 8, we study how people not only read information from faces, but how they read meaning into faces based on context and prior knowledge. Incorporating sources of information
Abstract: I will discuss research on a powerful biological model system, the natural clonal fish Amazon molly. Mothers in this female-only species produce genetically identical offspring, allowing us to employ an experimental twin study approach to address some of the most fundamental questions associated with behaviour and the development of behaviour. Do twins separated directly
(In-person talk at Science of Intelligence) Workshop: Discussing ethically problematic “incidents” of AI systems In the Thursday morning talk, we discuss ethically problematic incidents of AI that we selected from the AIAAIC Repository. In total, we discuss four cases. In a first step, we present a brief overview what occurred in the respective cases, based on media
Abstract: The abundance of available data on the one hand, and the increase in systems complexity caused by the need to cope with new challenging tasks on the other, have put research on so-called learning and data-driven methods in the agenda of virtually every engineering field. Control theory is no exception. In fact, some of
More details to follow.
A cornerstone of SCIoI are the three example behaviors that provide the motivation, as well as the demonstration platforms to showcase the amazing research happening within the cluster. In order to get the ball rolling towards interesting example behaviors, we have recently started regular "integration hackathon" meetings. They bring together people from different projects, who
Berlin4Ukraine: Meet & Learn. A networking event for exile researchers. PhD students and researchers from all academic disciplines that had to flee from war, violence and political persecution frequently face similar problems: They want to continue their scientific work but are often unfamiliar with the German research landscape, the academic system as well as the local funding culture.
Swarms, such as schools of fish, and flocks of birds, have shown a great capability of solving complex problems in nature. Such examples are bees finding the best nest site, or fish escaping from a predator. Here at the Swarm Robotics Lab of SCIoI, we demonstrate how a swarm of robots can solve problems, make
SCIoI is taking part of the Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften 2022 with five unique events! We will have Richard Schweitzer and Nicolas Roth showing and performing experiments on eye movements, Dustin Lehmann presenting robot interaction, plus a demonstration on swarm intelligence with Mohsen Raoufi, and a talk with David Bierbach at the Humboldt Labor. Do
