Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

One way to get a deeper understanding of a problem is to explore solutions to it. In this seminar we will be building artificial systems that are to solve increasingly complex tasks in a dynamic environment. We will be studying the types of cognition that become necessary in order to solve these tasks, their requirements and possible implementations. This will help shed light on the way cognition developed in natural systems, which face similar (though considerably more complex) challenges.
