Roberto Galeazzi: A new technological revolution at the horizon.

While Industry 4.0 is still unfolding introducing major changes in production processes and boosting a new economic growth, a new technological revolution is already at the horizon whose pervasiveness will breach the walls of the factories and reshape the whole society as we know it.

A new era is coming where machine intelligence will cross new frontiers and where collaboration between man and machines will determine new working paradigms. The rise of the collaborative autonomous systems era has already begun and future generations of engineers and technology developers need to be geared up to surf and steer the new technological wave. The Technical University of Denmark leads the way into this new technological revolution concomitantly launching the Centre for Collaborative Autonomous Systems, new outstanding experimental facilities for collaborative drone technologies and a new MSc program in Autonomous Systems.

Telepresence robots and Virtual reality improve quality of life for students that can’t attend school due to physical or mental illness?

Telepresence robots and Virtual reality improve quality of life for students that can’t attend school due to physical or mental illness? See for yourself how the technology enables the ability to be a part of class even though the student is at home. You’ll be given examples of how to customize the technology, so it makes sense in an educational context, and you’ll see how the robot works. This presentation will be based on a case study of a 12-year-old Danish boy who hasn’t been to school for more than two years but has been beamed in on the robot everyday instead. It’s all about looking beyond the wow factor and instead focusing on the possibilities of new technology.

Thomas Bolander:  How to make future robots socially intelligent?

Thomas will present some of his recent research in social aspects of artificial intelligence AI. The goal is to allow AI systems to do social perspective taking.

Thomas will present some of his recent research in social aspects of artificial intelligence AI. The goal is to allow AI systems to do social perspective taking. Popularly speaking, this means to give them the ability to put themselves into the shoes of others. In humans, this ability is essential for our ability to collaborate and interact. It is reasonable to believe that it will come to play an equally essential role in the robots of the future - at least if we expect to engage with them in a robust and flexible way based on mutual understanding. In trying to provide robots with the ability to do social perspective taking, Thomas has sought inspiration in what we currently know about human social intelligence from cognitive psychology, philosophy and neuroscience. In his talk he will explain and demonstrate how we have used this inspiration to provide a humanoid robot with the ability to do social perspective taking and pass tests that were originally developed to test human cognitive abilities.

Silvia Tolu: Neuro-robotics: connecting body, environment and brain. 

Understanding the brain is a challenge that more than 100 research institutions in Europe are trying to achieve in the framework of one of the two largest scientific projects ever funded by the European union, the 10-years project called: The Human Brain.

Understanding the brain is a challenge that more than 100 research institutions in Europe are trying to achieve in the framework of one of the two largest scientific projects ever funded by the European union, the 10-years project called: The Human Brain. This project aims to map the human brain and create an ICT-based research infrastructure to help advance neuroscience, medicine and computing. Among 13 sub-projects, the tenth is dedicated to Neuro-robotics in which researchers have created a platform for linking virtual brain models and simulated robot bodies. The main goal of the team at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is to get new insights into the brain’s connections ant its interactions with the body and surroundings, so that the brain is not only understood as a closed, abstract entity. We will discuss the brain and body relationship, and its importance on AI and robotics. Our approach is exemplified by bio-mimetic modular control architectures based on cerebellar internal models concept and machine learning optimisation that lead to a real-time control system. The system has been tested on different robotic platforms under both manipulation, visual, and locomotion tasks. This will be the state-of-the-art for more complex bio-inspired control architectures for neuro-robotics towards emulating the central nervous system functioning in motor control and learning.

Jacob Juul - Lou. Can Chinese tech innovators leapfrog western counterparts?

Chinese tech firms have outpaced most advanced countries in terms of new technology adaption, which has been driving tremendous growth and innovation in China.

Chinese tech firms have outpaced most advanced countries in terms of new technology adaption, which has been driving tremendous growth and in particular AI innovation in China. China’s fast-changing, complex and often ambiguous business environment is making Chinese tech and AI entrepreneurs rethink how they plan for the future, how they can deliver goods and services that global consumers are prepared to pay for and in the process create new jobs. As products made in China become more sophisticated it will also increasingly be Chinese consumers that set global standards and preferences. Given the speed with which their buying power is rising, products, technologies and business models will often leapfrog entire stages of development. Especially Chinese AI entrepreneurs that have been coping with the complexities of China’s market and business environment can be far better placed to come up with future answers than even the most experienced multinationals.

Abzu - Inventing Transparent, General Purpose AI
Abzu is developing a product that’s able to create automatic AI-based predictive solutions on data. They have a unique approach to data-oriented problems, that provides transparency and understanding of the results.
In short, the approach is a distributed artificial general intelligence that can recombine past learnings to solve increasingly complex problems. The learning process is entirely automated and is inspired by how the brain learns through forming new connections between cells, also taking inspiration from complexity theory.
The result is a network of cells that keep improving as new data and skills arise in the brain. The network itself can be inspected and gives insights on the relationship between the data input and how the solution was found. This alleviates the frustration with many deep learning techniques that provide a poor understanding of the inner workings of the resulting model.
We aim to bring AI into new domains that were previously not feasible by reducing the most time-consuming parts of the process and making the technology more accessible to everyone.
Jonas Wilstrup is responsible for investor relations, solutions, strategy and finance with Abzu. He has 11 years’ experience in strategy, finance & public affairs. Jonas holds an M.Sc. in Economics degree from the University of Copenhagen and has a 10-year experience in various leadership positions with different Danish companies. In his latest position Jonas has been Chief Financial Officer (CFO) in Wonderful Copenhagen. Jonas has a vast experience managing investor and stakeholder relations, developing strategy, management and political positioning of organizations.
Jonas is a major Trekkie and loves most things sci fi.

Driven by his curious and creative personality, Aitor always try to approach his subjects with fresh ideas. The fields that most interest me are the documentary and conceptual photography because they allow me to deliver a message through my images. Often, what matters in his images is not what subjects/objects appear, but what they symbolize, which allows him to communicate his thoughts about the society we live in.
