Robotics Open House

You are cordially invited to join us for the Cognitive Science Robotics Open House.

What: Cognitive Science Robotics Open House
When: Friday, May 1, 4-7 p.m.
Where: The West Wing of IUB’s Eigenmann Hall, 8th floor

Are you fascinated by robots? On May 1, the Cognitive Science Robotics groups, led by Professor Randall Beer and Professor Matthias Scheutz invite you to a Robotics Open House.

The Open House will feature presentations about research going on in both groups and will include various live demonstrations on robots and in computer simulations. In particular, you will see CRAMER, the friendly interactive humanoid, an autonomous Segway platform moving to natural language commands, an autonomous robot photographer taking pictures, an autonomous walking hexapod controlled by a neural network, a robotic vocal tract producing natural sounds, a robotic head with attached arm showing binocular vision-guided reaching, a gantry robot, as well as various computer simulations of artificial agents performing tasks in simulated environments, and demos of gesture recognition and natural language processing.
