Lecturer: Tim Tiedemann
Fields: Robotics, Machine Learning
Content
This course will try to build a bridge between machine learning and robotics.
– Session 1 will give an introduction to robotics, including robotic software frameworks and potential starting points for own robotic experiments
– Session 2 will continue on bio-robotics (showing how biology gained new insights from robotics) and introduce (non-robotic) active learning
– Session 3 will combine both, robotics and active learning. We will also talk about the idea of embodiment.
