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 I…
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 key…
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 are…
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 (HRI)…
