Zusammenfassung & Show Notes

'The next big thing' after artificial intelligence: Robots! In this episode, two fellows (one of them a convenor) of the Long-Term Group "Robust Decision Heuristics for Natural and Artificial Intelligence" discuss if robots make AI better, what robots can learn from insects, and about uncertainties in research environments. Barbara Webb (Biorobotics, University of Edinburgh) and Konstantinos Katsikopoulos (Behavioural Science, University of Southampton) are our guests on this episode of InterSpaces.
