Dr Astrid Weiss from Technical University Vienna, will be presenting in the SoCS research seminar. Her work is at the crossroads of robotics, computer science, Human Computer Interaction, and social sciences; investigating robotic applications in public space, elderly care and factory settings. This is a research seminar open to attendees across the university, in particular…
Dr Robin Read from the University of Plymouth to present his research on “A Study of Non-Linguistic Utterances for Social Human-Robot Interaction” at the School of Computer Science Research Seminar. Robin will shed some light on the questions if and how sounds like R2D2’s beeps are powerful means of communication for a robot. Time/Date Wed,…
Researchers at the Centre for Autonomous Systems are studying how mobile robots can learn from long-term experience to provide service in security and care scenarios. As part of the European STRANDS project, they contribute to the development of robots that are able to operate autonomously, without the need of human intervention, in regular indoor environments like offices…
Prof Ales Leonardis (University of Birmingham) is presenting his research on “Combining compositional shape hierarchy and multi-class object taxonomy for efficient object categorisation” in a joint Psychology and Computer Science seminar on Wed, 29th May at 4pm (in room MC1001). All students and staff are invited. Here the abstract of Ales’ presentation: Visual categorisation has…
The Lincoln Centre for Autonomous System (L-CAS) is looking for another Research Assistant to work in the STRANDS project. Consider applying if you are excited about mobile robots and long term behaviour, and you are looking for a great opportunity to also pursue a PhD. We need a great communicator, robot programmer, and system integrator;…
Tom Duckett and Marc Hanheide of the Lincoln Centre for Autonomous Systems will be presenting the general aims and objectives of the new FP7 project “STRANDS: Spatio-Temporal Representations and Activities For Cognitive Control in Long-Term Scenarios” – and L-CAS’ role in its research work plan in particular – at ICRA 2013 and ERF 13 conferences, respectively. The project’s aim is “… to…
The Centre for Autonomous Systems is seeking to recruit two Postdoctoral Fellows and one PhD student in the context of a European collaborative project, involving six academic institutes and two industrial partners across four European countries. The project aims to enable robots to achieve robust and intelligent behaviour in human environments through adaptation to, and the exploitation of,…
A coach with an engaged group of our computing students today took off for a visit to one of UK’s fastest growing communication providers: Timico, based in Newark, Lincs. It was a great opportunity to meet and chat with experts in the industry of Data Networks, IP Telephony and Mobile Services. Timico’s CTO Trefor Davies and his…
