Computational Intelligence and Robotics

AIBO robothondSince September 2007 I am doing the MSc Computational Intelligence and Robotics course in Leicester. This is somewhat similar to artificial intelligence, but it is slightly more focussed towards applications of AI and less focussed on the research towards human intelligence. Moreover I have applied for the RobotChallenge in Vienna. The picture shows the robotdog AIBO, which I will probably use in the competition.

Wintersport

Sylvia in MayrnhofenIn the week of new year (2005/2006) we were (Sylvia and I) in Zell am Ziller for wintersports. The skiing area, Zillertal Arena, was very good, we visited the different subareas on different days. During the week I nearly skied all the slopes once. Rob Muntz (environmental knights) also visited the Zillertal, het points at the environmental effects related at global warming as a result of skiing. Well as long as skiing is possible and affordable you can still find me annually on the skiing slopes. The photos will soon be added to the website.

(Nederlands) De Nationale Wetenschapsquiz

the national science quiz jury Christmas eve, a moment to look out for, the national science quiz. Yearly 20 extraordinary multiple choice questions that are open to a lot of discussion and reconsideration are published in news papers and television guides. The atmosphere of the quiz including its experiments is a feast, currently with Denvis, not bad, but the absurdistic presentation of Wim T Schippers is unsurpassed. Its a shame he won't pick it up again after the sad event some years ago of the premature publication of the questions.
