Several robot building labs where held in our group. Have a look at the german lab pages !
Project description
A basic requirement for the interaction of cognitive agents with their
environment is the ability to perceive dynamical scenes, i.e.,
situations changing both in space and time.
The goal of our interdisciplinary collaboration is to study the
representation of the course of motion both ``bottom-up'' through
psychophysical experimentation and modelling of the spatio-temporal
internal structures, and ``top-down'' by developing a qualitative
representational framework.
Issues are, among others, the measurement of elementary incremental
thresholds for the discrimination of spatio-temporal patterns, the
modelling of the processing of such patterns within subsequent
hierarchical layers, their representation in a scale independent form,
and the corresponding qualitative reasoning mechanisms.
Further information is available in
german.
