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
The RBO Lab Team gives three exciting demonstrations of recent advances in robotics: acoustic sensing with soft robot fingers, robot hand teleoperation, and moving robotic hand perceiving spatial depths.

In this demonstration visitors can experience a group of balancing robots working together to learn difficult motions and moving together like a collective. Visitors can even take control of individual robots to see how the other robots react and adapt their behavior.
To perceive the world around us, we constantly make rapid eye movements called saccades. Despite being the fastest and most frequent of all human movements, we remain largely unaware of them. To observe this, just try to detect your own saccades in the mirror. Using high-speed recording and presentation devices, we can make your saccades
Viele Tiere zeigen erstaunliche kognitive Leistungen. Am Beispiel von Fischen wird Dr. Bierbach einige der beachtlichen Geistesleistungen von Tieren aufzeigen – vom Antizipieren des zukünftigen Verhaltens bekannter Artgenossen über das Kopieren bei der Partnerwahl bis zum Synchronschwimmen im Schwarm.
Abstract: Collective behavior, as exhibited by bird flocks, fish schools or insect swarms, is a fascinating example of self-organized behavior in biology. Mathematical models of flocking were key for the development of our current understanding on how complex complex group-level behaviors may emerge from simple local rules of interaction of close-by individuals. In this lecture
Abstract:Theories of learning from multimodal sources (e.g., combinations of text and pictures, aka multimedia) posit that in order to effectively learn from multimedia, students need to select information from text and pictures, organize the information in memory, and most importantly, integrate the information into one mental model. In the first part of my presentation, I
Abstract: The eyes are the Marco Polo of the human body — they travel incessantly across the visual world in front of us, curious for interesting or even insightful information. Tracking someone’s eye movements, therefore, provides insights into their perception and cognition — the eyes are indeed a window to the mind. That eye movements
Abstract: Humans spend a lifetime learning, storing and refining a repertoire of motor memories. However, it is unknown what principle underlies the way our continuous stream of sensorimotor experience is segmented into separate memories and how we adapt and use this growing repertoire. Here we develop a principled theory of motor learning based on the
Abstract: Anthropomorphic robot features are intended to trigger the activation of social scripts from human-human interaction, thereby offering an intuitive approach to interact with robots. Whereas this seems to be a valid design option for the social domain leading to an increased acceptance of robots, trust and willingness to interact, other domains of human-robot interaction
The Berlin Summit on Robotics is a three-days event funded by SCIoI that brings together leading researchers in robotics and related areas to discuss and tackle strategic challenges in robotics research. While conferences and other professional meetings are hectic and dominated by conversations about technical details, the Berlin Summit aims to create an atmosphere in
