“Future of Air – Speculative Workshop Series” – Von Kontrolle zu Kooperation (in German)

Workshop title: Von Kontrolle zu Kooperation Theme: Air as Technology Where: silent green Kulturquartier   Betonindustrie, Verbrennungsmotor, Google-Suchanfrage – Technologie wird heute an ihrer CO₂-Emission gemessen. Unsere technische Kultur hat Karriere gemacht durch einen allzu sorglosen und zerstörerischen Umgang mit Ressourcen. Dabei wird vor allem der Versuch unternommen, Materialien und Umgebungen zu kontrollieren. Und das

Shintaro Shiba, “From Events to Motion to its Applications”

MAR 2.057

Abstract: Estimating motion from image sensors is a fundamental problem in computer vision and robotics. Event cameras are novel bio-inspired sensors that provide a signal suitable for estimating motion because their pixels naturally respond to intensity changes, which are tightly related to motions in the scene. However, event data is fundamentally different from conventional frame

Milagros Miceli, “Transparency for whom? Designing data documentation with data workers”

MAR 2.057

Abstract: The opacity of datasets poses a significant challenge to creating inclusive and intelligible machine learning (ML) systems. Various AI ethics initiatives have addressed this issue by proposing standardized dataset documentation frameworks based on the value of transparency.  In this talk, I propose a shift of perspective: from documenting for transparency to documenting for reflexivity.

Ulrike Scherer and Sean Ehlman (Science of Intelligence)

MAR 2.057

Abstract: Collective dynamics play a crucial role in everyday decision-making. Whether social influence promotes the spread of accurate information and ultimately results in collective intelligence or leads to false information cascades and maladaptive social contagion depends on the cognitive mechanisms underlying social interactions. This talk will take place in person at SCIoI.

Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften 2023 – Meet Pepper

Who is Pepper? The humanoid robot we use in our labs helps us understand social interactions between robots and humans, and if it’s easy to see why that works so well. Pepper is designed to quickly develop a connection with its human interlocutor. Come and try it for yourself!

Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften 2023 – Mohsen Raoufi, “Meet the Swarm Robots”

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. In this demostration Mohsen Raoufi, at the Swarm Robotics Lab of SCIoI, will demonstrate how a swarm of robots

Mohsen Raoufi (Science of Intelligence), From State Estimation to Collective Estimation, and from Individuality to Complexity in Swarm Robotic Systems

Using swarm optimization algorithms as heuristic solutions in various engineering problems, including the state estimation of nonlinear systems, has been an inspiration to me for my SCIoI project. We started our project by studying the "Wisdom of Crowds" effect, i.e. the notion that the average of many imperfect estimations, under the right conditions, can potentially yield a
