Cognitive architectures are some of the most important fields of research for the development of day-to-day robots. How must an intelligent system be constructed and which components are required so that it can competently interact with its surroundings? The University of Bremen is hosting an international workshop on this topic between March 22 and 28, 2021.
Especially researchers from the USA and the EU will be present at the workshop. The event is taking place as part of the TransAIR project, which has the aim of strengthening the transatlantic dialogue in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI). The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is funding the project as part of the "The Future of Work" campaign.
Alongside AI and robots, a focus will also be placed on related fields of cognition sciences and neuroscience. Cognitive architectures in AI integrate current theories on the functionality of the human brain, especially in terms of the perception of surroundings, the extracting of knowledge, and decision-making.
Hosted panel discussions with up to five experts are planned in order to throw light onto the current scientific status as well as future development and the chance of new cooperations. Moreover, the potential for open science and open research in the context of AI-based robotics will play a key role.
Registration is open; further information can be found on the conference website.
