teutolab-robotik at the education fair didacta 2012 in Hanover
At the didacta in Hanover, hall 23, booth 16, all visitors of teutolab-robotik are invited to play the game Rock, Scissor, Paper (in German Schnick, Schnack, Schnuck) against NAO on Thursday, 16th February 2012. All winners have the chance to gain an one-afternoon workshop at the teutolab-robotik of Bielefeld University. The winners of the workshop will be ascertained by participating in a lottery.
The hands-on laboratory for school students, the teutolab-robotik of Bielefeld University, and Aldebaran Robotics appear at the booth of LPE Technik at the education fair didacta. On the 16th of February the visitors will get the opportunity to be within touching distance with the humanoid robot NAO. At teutolab-robotik the strategy game Rock, Scissor, Paper enables students of the senior grades to find out according to which principles robots can learn while playing it with NAO in the workshop the “Learning Lab” (in German “Das Lernlabor”).
Spitzencluster it's OWL ("Intelligente Technische Systeme OWL")
CoR-Lab and Bielefeld University participate in the regional Initiative to compete for a BMBF Spitzencluster under the notion it's OWL ("Intelligente Technische Systeme OWL"). CoR-Lab and the Bielefeld Excellence Center CITEC coordinate the part of the technology platform dealing with Human-Maschine-Interaction and participate in several Innovation Projects (IPs). The pre-evaluation took place in late Nov., partially on-site at Bielefeld University and the final decision is due Jan. 19.
Bielefeld University contributes robots to exhibition on 150 year of Japanese-German Friendship
The center of excellence in Cognitive Interaction Technology (CITEC) contributes
two robots to the exhibition „FERNE GEFÄHRTEN. 150 Jahre deutsch-japanische Beziehungen“ in the Reiss-Engelhorn-Museum der Weltkulturen in Mannheim. It was inaugurated on the 06.11.2011 by the German president Christian Wulff and the Japanese Ambassador Dr. Takahiro Shinyo. The exhibition shows the Japanese-German history of the last 150 years starting with the first diplomatic exchange up to the scientific collaboration today.
Bielefeld's humanoid robot Bathoc is presented at the exhibition during 150 years of German-Japanese relationships in the Reiss-Engelhorn-Museum Mannheim. Interested parties are invited to visit the exhibition until February 5th, 2012
In Mannheim, the two humanoid robots "Flobi" and "Barthoc" for Bielefeld University and the baby-like robot "Pneu-Born" from Osaka Universität are jointly presented. An accompanying video illustrates the intensive Cooperation between the Bielefeld Center of Excellence in Cognitive Interaction Technology and the „Center of Human-Friendly Robotics based on Cognitive Neurosciences“ in Osaka. The exhibit was jointly coordinated by Prof. Jochen Steil, Bielefeld, and Prof. Y. Nagai, Osaka, and demonstrates how the researchers from both countries develop tomorrow assistance technology.
M. Rolf wins best presentation award at the workshop New Challenges for Neural Computation (NC²)
M. Rolf wins best presentation award at the workshop New Challenges for Neural Computation (NC²) hold adjacent to the DAGM 2011 in Frankfurt. His presenation on "Online Learning in the Loop: Fast Explorative Learning of Inverse Models in High Dimensions" featured the enormous speed-up which is possible through employing online-learning in a developmentally plausible exploration scheme called Goal Babbling.
CoR-Lab contributes to the Bielefeld science festival Geniale 2011
CoR-Lab strongly contributes to the Bielefeld science festival "Geniale" with four activities. In the Kunsthalle Bielefeld (Bielefeld's famous art exhibition hall) a live human-machine interaction experiment is performed featuring an art guide robot. On Wednesday teutolab-robotik contributes to the teutolab day offering science workshops at the University, the whole week CoR-Lab contributes to the "Forscher Puzzle" in the Fachhochschule des Mittelstandes. Here you can play and learn about various Bielefeld researcher and reseach institutes including CoR-Lab. Finally on Friday, CoR-Lab contributes to the open-lab day "Mensch-Maschine-Kommunikation" and opens its transfer-lab with newest robot technology on display.
