Cornelia Fermüller (University of Maryland), “Computational Principles of Embodied Intelligence for Robust Motion Perception and Action”

SCIoI, Marchstraße 23, 10587 Berlin, Room 2.057

Abstract Understanding the computational principles of embodied intelligence is central to advancing robotic systems that perceive and act in complex environments. This talk explores key principles—low power consumption, robustness, and generalizability—as they emerge in the context of motion perception and action. For visual navigation, evidence is presented that challenges the conventional SLAM paradigm, which relies

Tony Prescott (University of Sheffield)

SCIoI, Marchstraße 23, 10587 Berlin, Room 2.057

Abstract Artificial intelligence and robotics have been making great progress in recent years but how close are we to emulating human intelligence?  This talk will explore the similarities and differences between humans and AIs and discuss the development of biomimetic cognitive systems that more directly think and behave like us.  A key focus will be
