Abstract:
Artificial Intelligence and robotics become more and more part of our daily life in the form of anthropomorphic robots for care, artificial limbs or a multitude of mobile and networked devices. The Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in Zurich is a place where researchers build robots to understand how thought and intelligence is related to the body and how various types of robots interact with and in their environment. In this lab visit we will get insight into the field with presentations of current research projects, and we will have the opportunity to discuss our questions.
