Plenary

in englischer SpracheSo far, robotics has been successfully implemented especially in areas of repetitive tasks, like e.g. in production. The enormous potential of robotics in areas like housework, maintenance or transport, which require a lot more flexibility and adaptability to humans, has, however, not come close to being exploited. For this it will be necessary to closely integrate robotics with all the other aspects of artificial intelligence. How to confront this exciting challenge will be discussed in this panel.

Dr. Tamar MAKIN
Associate Professor and Sir Henry Dale Fellow, Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London
| Makin Tamar graduated from the Brain and Behavioural Sciences programme at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 2009. She was then awarded several career development fellowships to establish her research program on brain plasticity in amputees at FMRIB, the neuroimaging centre of the University of Oxford, first as Research Fellow and later as a Principle Investigator. In 2016 she joined the faculty of UCL to continue this work. |
Stefan ROTH
Professor and Head, Visual Inference Lab, Darmstadt University of Technology, Darmstadt
| Stefan Roth received the Diplom degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Mannheim, Germany in 2001. In 2003 he received the ScM degree in Computer Science from Brown University, and in 2007 the PhD degree in Computer Science from the same institution. Since 2007 he is on the faculty of Computer Science at Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany (Juniorprofessor 2007-2013, Professor since 2013). He currently serves as Chair of the Department of Computer Science of TU Darmstadt. His research interests include machine learning approaches to image modeling, motion estimation and tracking, as well as object recognition and scene understanding. He received several awards, including honorable mentions for the Marr Prize at ICCV 2005 (with M. Black) and ICCV 2013 (with C. Vogel and K. Schindler), the Olympus-Prize 2010 of the German Association for Pattern Recognition (DAGM), and the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Prize 2012 of the German Research Foundation (DFG). In 2013, he was awarded a starting grant of the European Research Council (ERC). He regularly serves as an area chair for CVPR, ICCV, and ECCV, and is member of the editorial board of the International Journal of Computer Vision (IJCV), the IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (TPAMI), and PeerJ Computer Science. |
