CHAIR OF

COMPUTATIONAL

INTELLIGENCE

Newsha Ghoreishi from University of Southern Denmark (SDU) visited our research group and presented her PhD topic:

Palina, Sebastian and Christoph attended the ANTS 2018 conference in Rome and presented two papers:

Dr. Hemant Singh from University of New South Wales (Canberra, Australia) visited SwarmLab and gave a talk about

Development of evolutionary computation methods for multi-objective design optimization and decision-making

Today we performed the first of a series of fully autonomous outdoor Swarm Flight experiments. Too strong wind and lots of new unexpected features were challenging for our micro-robots. Some impressions from today:

In July, Sanaz and Heiner visited the Doshisha University in Kyoto, Japan. During this visit we had very constructive exchange with professor Tomo Hiroyasu and his lab members.  Michael Mera, our Master student who is currently working there, gave a talk about his master thesis. 

Professor Rudolf Kruse received the IEEE CIS Pioneer Award for his works on Fuzzy Systems in the award ceremony which took place at IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (WCCI) on 11th July in Rio de Janeiro.

Hohe Auszeichnung für Magdeburger Informatiker 

Rudolf Kruse, Professor an der Fakultät für Informatik der OVGU Magdeburg, wurde auf dem IEEE World Congress on Computational  Intelligence in Rio de Janeiro vor 1500 Tagungsteilnehmern der renommierte Fuzzy Systems Pioneer Award überreicht.   Das Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) ist der weltweit größte Berufsverband von Ingenieuren aus den Bereichen Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik.  Ein Pioneer Award gehört zu den höchsten Auszeichnungen der IEEE. 

Mit dem Fuzzy Systems Pioneer  werden seit dem Jahr 2000 frühe Konzepte und nachhaltige Entwicklungen auf dem Gebiet der Fuzzy-Systeme gewürdigt. Fuzzy Methoden erlauben die computergestützte Handhabung von impräzisen und unsicheren Informationen.  Kruse erhielt die  Auszeichnung  für die „Entwicklung von Lernverfahren für Fuzzy-Systeme in Theorie und Anwendungen“.    Fuzzy Systeme gehören wie Künstliche Neuronale Netze, Evolutionäre Algorithmen und Schwarmintelligenz zu den naturanalogen Verfahren und werden  unter dem plakativen Begriff computational intelligence (CI) zusammengefasst.  Kruse entwickelt auch nach seiner Emeritierung weiterhin Assistenzsysteme mit Hilfe von CI-Methoden.

RoboCup WorldCup 2018

Back from the worldCup and our team got the 4th place :-) 

Sanaz is appointed as the member of the advisory board on digitalization by the Ministry of Economy, Science and Digitalization, State Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany:

Christoph and Sanaz visitied the university of New South Wales in Canberra in May 2018. This research visit was financially supported by DAAD.
