Seminar of Cognitive Science (October 4th, 2016)
Tuesday 4.10.2016 at 16:30, lecture room I/9
prof. Ing. Igor Farkaš, Dr.:
Artificial neural networks for cognitive robotics
Abstract:
I will introduce the paradigms of supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement learning in the context of artificial neural networks. We will look at a few examples of their use, also in the domain of cognitive robotics that represents a constructivist (synthetic) approach to mechanical understanding of cognitive functions. The ideas will be presented via selected tasks of motor learning, learning body schema and spatial cognition in a simulated humanoid robot. These examples will serve as motivation for potential research projects.
