Brain Inspired Cognitive Systems - BICS 2010 aims to bring together leading scientists and
engineers who use analytic and synthetic methods both to understand the astonishing processing
properties of biological systems and, specifically those of the living brain, and to exploit such
knowledge to advance engineering methods for building artificial systems with higher levels of
cognitive competence.
BICS 2010 is a meeting point of cognitive systems engineers and brain scientists where cross-domain
ideas are fostered in the hope of getting new emerging insights on the nature, operation and
extractable capabilities of brains. This multiple approach is necessary because the progressively more
accurate data about brains is producing a growing need of both a quantitative and theoretical
understanding and an associated capacity to manipulate this data and translate it into engineering
applications rooted in sound theories.
BICS 2010 is intended for both researchers that aim to build brain inspired systems with higher
cognitive competences, and as well to life scientists who use and develop mathematical and
engineering approaches for a better understanding of complex biological systems like the brain.
BICS 2010 is organized around four major interlaced focal symposia that are organized into patterns
that encourage cross-fertilization across the symposia topics. This emphasizes the role of BICS as a
major meeting point for researchers and practitioners in the areas of biological and artificial cognitive
systems. Debates across disciplines will enrich researchers with complementary perspectives from
diverse scientific fields.

You are kindly welcomed to the UPM Autonomous Systems Laboratory website.
This site contains information about our research group: projects, activities, people, publications, courses, etc. The focus of our research are
Autonomous Systems, i.e. systems that operate by themselves without the need of external intervention. This is useful in many real-life situations for economical, technical or safety reasons.

First CHIST-ERA conference |
|
Written by Ricardo Sanz
|
|
Tuesday, 09 September 2008 |
 | The purpose of the first CHIST-ERA Conference will be to bring together personalities and scientists from the community of the call topics preliminarily chosen by the CHIST-ERA Consortium and that will be called for in the first CHIST-ERA transnational call for projects.
The expected audience will be a balanced combination of CHIST-ERA partner programme representatives (Executive Board and/or Steering Committee members) and leading experts from science, industry, and other stakeholders, in order to identify and formulate promising scientific & technological challenges in the topics chosen.
|
The outcome of the conference will be used by the CHIST-ERA Steering Committee for defining more precisely the content of the transnational call. The first two topics to be addressed in this conference are:
- Quantum Information Foundations and Technologies
- Self-Awareness & Self-Consciousness
Ricardo Sanz will give a talk on the self-awareness topic, focusing on the trends towards full cognitive autonomy in technical systems and the cross-domain research needed for that.
Updated information can be found in the CHIST-ERA Conference Website.

An ASLab Research Seminar
Research on Networked Robot Systems at ISR/IST
Pedro Lima
Place: Aula Artigas, ETSII-UPM
Time: April 26, 2010 / 12:30-13:30
|
In this talk Prof. Lima will describe the research activities at the Intelligent Systems Lab of the Institute for Systems and Robotics at Instituto Superior Técnico, Technical University of Lisbon. Most of the talk will concentrate on research done on networked robot systems, composed of static and mobile sensors that cooperate to carry out a diversified set of tasks. The group is particularly interested on discrete event models of robotic tasks, prone to qualitative (e.g., formal verification) and quantitative (e.g., plan probability of success) analysis, as well as on active cooperative perception and planning under uncertainty. A brief overview of past and running projects on soccer robots, rescue robots and mobile robots cooperating with a camera network to interact with people will be presented. I will also talk about other "adventures" we are pursuing on bio- and social-sciences-inspired approaches to collective robotics.

Ciclo de Conferencias Ibercaja |

Uno de los objetivos de ASLab es la comprensión del funcionamiento de la mente y de las capacidades cognitivas de los seres humanos. Este asunto supone uno de los mayores retos de la ciencia contemporánea pero su resolucion sería de enorme interés en la construcción de sistemas automáticos robustos.
Ibercaja organiza en Zaragoza un ciclo de conferencias en torno a este tema dentro de su programa de lunes tecnológicos: Ciclo: Los sistemas cognitivos y la ingeniería de mentes artificiales.
El objetivo de este ciclo es acercar los resultados más recientes en el estudio de la cognición desde una perspectiva científico-tecnológica, con el fin de mostrar los mecanismos que permiten simular, reproducir y generar “comportamiento inteligente” para incorporarlo al diseño de artefactos. Se pretenden mostrar las repercusiones científicas que este tipo de investigación está suponiendo y cómo en los próximos años cambiará la forma de entender el mundo y el modo en que interaccionamos con nuestro entorno. El ciclo consta de cuatro conferencias:
- Máquinas conscientes. Por Ricardo Sanz.
- Gente artificial.De la ficción a la realidad y vuelta a la ficción. Por Francisco Serón.
- Mentes naturales y mentes artificiales. Por Manuel G. Bedia.
- El rol del cuerpo en el estudio de la mente: hacia nuevos paradigmas en el estudio de la cognición. Por Ezequiel Di Paolo.
Este ciclo de conferencias está coordinado por el Grupo de Informática Gráfica Avanzada (GIGA) perteneciente al Instituto de Investigación de Ingeniería de Aragón (I3A) de la Universidad de Zaragoza.
Las conferencias tienen lugar lus Lunes a las 19:30 horas
La entrada es libre. |
