How do humans perceive risk? In the episode “The risk-taker”, decision scientist Wolfgang Gaissmaier gives us insight into risk perception and communication within the human collective. #intheswarm exc.uni-konstanz.de/collective-beh…

There is still time to send 1-page extended abstracts to the ICRA2024 workshop on Bio-inspired Robotics and Robotics for Biology

Looking forward to your contribution and meeting you in Yokohama, Japan!

Best submissions will win a robot!

So excited to be speaking at this conference on mechanisms of foraging , information seeking and exploration taking place in Lyon ( Dec 11 - 13th ). Check out the fabulous line up : sites.google.com/view/foragingc…

The name has changed but it remains the world's first 3D human foundation model. ChatPose (formerly PoseGPT) has a new name at the request of the #CVPR2024 reviewers. Same great work from Meshcapade and Perceiving Systems. Final #CVPR2024 version on arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2311.18836

Do you study collective animal behaviour & want to meet with roboticists who design artificial collective intelligence?
#Biology Track is now open for the #ANTS conference on #Swarm Intelligence. Submit your abstract (1 page) by May 28 via email to Heiko Hamann & Giovanni Reina

Are you or someone you know looking for a postdoc? Consider joining my lab at University of Wyoming where we use imaging and computer vision to study animal behavior in complex natural ecosystems. Collective behavior, salmon, migration, machine learning! kogerlab.com

It’s amazing how many empirical features of interactions and collective response can emerge from a simple imperative: to minimize surprise. Out today in PNAS PNASNews - with Conor Heins Richard Mann Karl Friston and colleagues! Centre for the Adv Study of Collective Behaviour Max Planck Society pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
