The Institute of Perception, Action and Behaviour (IPAB) explores the connection between computational perception, representation, transformation, and generation processes with external environments, both theoretically and practically.

Areas of focus include:

visual processing
robotic system motion control
active sensing and decision-making processes
biologically inspired robotics
computer-generated external phenomena like visuals, audio, or movements
interactive agent systems in gaming and animation
Within IPAB's vibrant research environment, you can create robots that acquire motor skills independently, replicate animal behaviors, or execute autonomous group operations. Alternatively, you might develop systems that analyze real-world visuals or generate sophisticated behaviors for animated entities.

Our goal is to combine robust theoretical frameworks with practical system building, offering the necessary hardware and software resources to bring these concepts to life.
