Chef`s Hat - A Game Platform for Social Interaction Studies

• Bulding a platform for social interaction and artificial intelligence studies based on a multiplayer card game.

Crossmodal learning in a neurobotic cortical and midbrain model

• The goals of project A5 are (1) to develop novel neurocomputational techniques to improve our understanding of the superior colliculus (SC) and linked cortical areas; (2) to design and implement a self-organizing audiovisual model of these cortico-collicular networks in a physical robot; and (3) to compare both the model’s neural activity and the robot’s physical behaviour to the neural activity and physical behaviour of humans. The project will produce a novel computational architecture that can direct a robot’s gaze in a natural way to relevant stimuli.

The Face Channel

• The FaceChannel is a lightweight implementation that encapsulates different facial expression recognition models, and makes it easier to deploy and use them.
