From Babies to Robots
Research, Innovation and Technology Seminar Series @AGBCentre
Next in the Research, Innovation and Technology Seminar Series at the Alexander Graham Bell Centre for Digital Health at Moray College UHI is Professor Angelo Cangelosi from the Centre for Robotics and Neural Systems School of Computing and Mathematics, University of Plymouth.
Professor Cangelosi is a renowned expert in this field and his main research expertise is on language grounding and embodiment in humanoid robots, developmental robotics, human-robot interaction, and on the application of neuromorphic systems for robot learning.
The seminar titled ‘From Babies to Robots: Developmental Robotics for Embodied Language Learning’ is taking place on Monday 24th October and will investigate the advances in the growing theoretical and experimental research on action and language processing, number learning and gestures clearly demonstrating the role of embodiment in cognition and language processing.
During the talk Professor Cangelosi will present examples of developmental robotics models and experimental results from iCub experiments on the embodiment biases in early word acquisition and grammar learning (Morse et al. 2015), experiment on the pointing and finger counting in number learning (De La Cruz et al. 2014) and on mental imagery and rotation (Seepanomwan et al. 2015).
The seminar begins at 5pm at the Moray Street campus with complimentary drinks and canapes with the opportunity to network, followed by the lecture at 5.45pm with a Q&A session at the end.
