More information:
Notice: Seminar will run accompanying the lecture with a presentation block in the end of the lecture period. First meeting takes place within the first lecture.
Comments/contents:
Nature, biology and cognition have already solved simple and complex problems in natural forms of computing. Intelligence emerges from cells, individual embodiment, as well as through interaction between individuals in a society. This seminar offers a focused and research-related insight into bio-inspired artificial intelligent systems. The topics follow the lecture but are indicative:
• Cellular systems
• Evolutionary systems
• Processing in brain-inspired spiking neural architectures
• Bio-inspired vision
• Neuro-cognitive sound and language processing
• Collective systems and swarm intelligence
• Interaction modelling for cognitive robotics and bio-inspired robotics
Learning objectives:
The objective of this seminar is to analyse critically and present research topics from the field of bio-inspired artificial intelligence.
Didactic concept:
The integrated seminar complements the lecture Bio-Inspired Artificial Intelligence and offers the opportunity to discuss specific topics in-depth. During the seminar each participant will give a talk and write an evaluating paper on a selected topic. The evaluating paper on a selected topic can either analyse existing research or describe the design and implementation of an own bio-inpired artefact (e.g. an insect controller, a swarming flock simulation, a humanoid robot task). More details will be given at the first meeting.
