Upcoming workshop: Artificial Creatures
In April and May, Maarten Lamers and Peter van der Putten (LIACS) will teach a workshop “Artificial Creatures”. Quoted from the workshop announcement:
This workshop deals with building artificial creatures, or things that were made to purposefully convey essences of (lifelike) creatures. Together with students we explore and discuss issues such as affect, needs, social interaction, goals, food, etcetera. Hopefully, we can show that for designing artificial creatures, one does not need a degree in robotics – with minimal technical complexity the creature should suggest maximal lifelike properties.
For further information, see the workshop webpage.
