AI lounge: Bio-Inspired Robotics @ UiO

Welcome to this new AI Lounge. We are happy to present two new interesting presentations.

Poster about the AI lounge (pdf).

Coffee, tea and cookies will be served. 

Looking forward to seeing you!

AI and Machine Learning at the Robotics and Intelligent Systems group

Abstarct

Kai Olav Ellefsen will first give an overview of research into AI and Machine Learning at ROBIN, before diving into a few aspects that make AI research for robotics particularly challenging and how we apply biologically inspired techniques at ROBIN to make progress on open challenges.
