There will be a Industry CS Seminar on Thursday 27 February 2020 from 16:15-17:15 in EM 1.83

Title: Developing parallel applications with SYCL, an open standards
alternative to CUDA

Abstract: Computer system architecture trends are constantly evolving to provide
higher performance and computing power, to support the increasing demand
for high-performance computing domains including AI, machine learning,
image processing and automotive driving aids.

The next IPAB Workshop will take place on 20/02/2020 at 12:45 in room G.03 (pastries will be served). 

Speaker: Barbara Webb

Title: Insect AI

Social robots can be designed to entail persuasive capabilities in various application domains. We investigate how social robots can be designed to motivate and facilitate youth in civic participation. In our RoboCivics project, social robots are co-designed with the youth (15-24 years) to gain understanding of the youth’s perspectives to desirable forms of social robot interaction, with sustainability as the application domain. User trials take place in real contexts of use such as youth spaces, schools and shopping centres.

The next IPAB Workshop will take place on 06/02/2020 at 12:45 in room G.03 (pastries will be served). Michael Burke will be speaking.

Speaker: Michael Burke

Title: On the need for inductive biases in robot learning

The next IPAB Workshop will take place on 30/01/2020 at 12:45 in room G.03 (pastries will be served). Timothy Hospedales will be speaking.

Title: Deep Learning: Better, Faster, Stronger

Abstract

From unmanned space exploration to self-driving cars - how willing are we to share control?

These technologies are now a reality. Robots are ready to share control, but how much are humans willing to give up?

Join Professor Sethu Vijayakumar to explore advances in machine learning and discover how the next generation of robots will work much more closely with humans, other robots and interact significantly with the environment around it.
