Thursday Morning Talk (on Zoom) Abstract: One of the assumptions made in the original SCIoI proposal is that intelligence is non-decomposable. This means that intelligent behavior results to a large degree from the interactions between component and not only from the components themselves.  Components have different names, depending on what discipline you are from.  If

ABSTRACT: The goal of this presentation is to discuss a potential project proposal within RU2 of SCIoI, in particular, to initiate a discussion with researchers from the analytic side. I will first briefly introduce our recent work on physical reasoning and manipulation planning. This work required us to develop elaborate solvers which influenced my view

More than an actual talk, this will be an informal exchange on the theme of "A potential paradigm shift in vision search." Active participation is warmly welcomed. This is an internal event, meant for SCIoI members only.

Patients suffering from schizophrenia are less susceptible to various perceptual illusions (and to some hallucinations, too) than most healthy individuals. Yet, schizophrenia patients’ perception-forming processes have been characterised as aberrant, as producing false inferences and irrational mental states. This characterisation is consistent with the idea that perceptual experiences and processes can be appraised as rational

Abstract: We typically have a clear idea about the final design and functionality of a robot before we start building it. We apply this top-down design approach to a wide range of robotic systems and it allows our robots to be more optimized, autonomous, and programmable. However, if we want to design and actuate multiple
