Revision as of 16:21, 16 November 2005
Purpose
- Community. Keep everyone updated as to what other work is going on in the lab
- Research. Cross germination. Get feedback. Get help on problems. Get ideas.
- Admin. Lab administration.
Format
- Iridia Administration (0 - 15 mins)
- Presentation & Discussion (30 - 50 mins)
- Work you have been doing
- Reading you have been doing in the context of your work
- Other reading on something you are passionate about
- Robotics Group Administration (0 - 15 mins)
Try and make your session as involving as possible for everyone:
- Send round material to be read beforehand.
- Ask people before the meeting what aspects of your work / reading they would like to know about or discuss.
- Think about implications of what you are presenting for the research direction of the lab as a whole - methodologies, technologies etc.
Timing & Attendance
The weekly meetings ALWAYS take place on
Unless:
- A given Wednesday is a public holiday, or
- Something very important (like a Ph.D. defense) is overlapping.
If either should happen the meeting is postponed to the next day.
Please indicate on this wiki page if you are not going to be able to attend a meeting (no later than the Friday before).
If you forget to note your absence in advance you will be severely punished and will be forced to buy a nice, big cake for the following meeting.
Previous Meetings
See Minutes and agendas from previous meetings.
Wednesday 16th November - Elio
Agenda
- Presentation / Discussion
- Title: General, Universal, even worst Global: I'm against, better ANTI-.
The talk is meant to be a brief introduction mixed with some personal conclusions concerning the Theory of Direct Perception and its significance in the domain of Evolutionary Robotics.
- Robotics Group Admin
- Arena camera
- Common interface
- OMiss and 2D kinematics
Reading material
- None for the moment, I am happy to suggest you some readings if you feel interested in what I will talk about.
People who will be absent
Marco, Federico, Rodi
Things we should talk about
- we should use templeet in the wiki to make it run faster
Wednesday 23rd November - Christos
Agenda
- Presentation / Discussion
- Communication - some brief overview, some definitions (this was supposed to have been discussed some months ago when nobody showed up to discuss a related paper I proposed, I guess this time with some "pressure" you will all be there and super-motivated and interested, what a wonderful world...
- I am going to talk on my work on the Evolution of Communication in cases where there is no fitness reward for signalling-reaction to the signal. What conditions seem to favour the evolution of communication?
- An idea for extention, an intro for my next talk, maybe?
- Robotics Group Admin
Reading material
People who will be absent
Ciro (holiday --> no cake, but maybe a havana cigar...)
