Also, we created artificial lives ourselves yesterday during the #ALIFE2023 excursion to teamLab's Future Park and Animals of Flowers, Symbiotic Live @ Sapporo Art Museum - say hi to my strawberry hat squit (and me)!

This morning, I presented our work on the evolution of dynamic collective behaviors by minimizing surprise #ALIFE2023. Despite being in the first session after last night's conference dinner, there was quite some audience! Thanks for showing up :)

Our ALifeConf 2023 paper is available online now (w/ @SwarmDynamics and Christopher Kluth)!

I will be presenting our work on "Evolving Dynamic Collective Behaviors by Minimizing Surprise" at #ALIFE2023 on Friday morning.

I spent 2.5 days at Schloss Dagstuhl attending the GI dissertation award colloquium. There were plenty interesting talks about a variety of computer science-related topics on the program and I got to now many great researchers.

My colleague JK studies effects of human-swarm interaction, which (once again) gave me the opportunity to be paid for playing with robots + to become a model for science studies. Can you spot me in the paper and the video? 🙃

There is a new open PhD position in @SwarmDynamics group! I'm more than excited that it is related to my own PhD work. The successful applicant will work on active inference/surprise minimization for division of labor. Plus there is work with real robot swarms! https://twitter.com/SwarmDynamics/status/1623406062744240130

It was about time I set up a website that represents me as a researcher. Please have a look & let me know if something important is missing - or reach out if you would love to collaborate :)

The "Minister-President" of our state gave us a visit today. We let him play with our robot swarm and he liked it. :)

Many thanks for the show to @msminirobot and Eddy.

Spontaneously, I visited Museum Tinguely today. Jean #Tinguely was a Swiss sculptor who is known for his kinetic #art and #automata. The #sculpture in the fountain in front of the museum was only a small teaser of the works exhibited in the #museum.

Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake is beautiful book - inside and out! I enjoyed starting the new (reading) year with it a lot!
