VORTRAG ******************** Oesterreichisches Forschungsinstitut fuer Artifial Intelligence (OFAI) Freyung 6/6, A-1010 Wien Tel.: +43-1-5336112-19, Fax: +43-1-5336112-77, Email: sec@ofai.at Dr. Uwe Haass General Manager Cluster of Excellence "Cognition for Technical Systems (CoTeSyS)" Technical University, Munich, Germany "THE CLUSTER OF EXCELLENCE "COGNITION FOR TECHNICAL SYSTEMS (CoTeSys)" The CoTeSys cluster of excellence investigates cognition for technical systems. Cognitive technical systems are equipped with artificial sensors and actuators, integrated and embedded into physical systems, and act in a physical world. They differ from other technical systems as they perform cognitive control and have cognitive capabilities. Cognitive control orchestrates reflexive and habitual behavior in accord with longterm intentions. Cognitive capabilities such as perception, reasoning, learning, and planning turn technical systems into systems that "know what they are doing". The cognitive capabilities will result in systems of higher reliability, flexibility, adaptivity, and better performance. They will be easier to interact and cooperate with. The CoTeSys cluster combines the research competence in neuroscience, natural sciences, engineering, computer science, and humanities to design, implement, and analyze the information processing mechanisms needed for cognitive technical systems. Dr. Haass will give an overview of the research in the different research areas, tasks already accomplished, and future goals. ********* Time: Mon 9 August 2010, 18:30 sharp Location: Oesterreichisches Forschungsinstitut für Artificial Intelligence, OFAI Freyung 6, Stiege 6, A-1010 Vienna.
