Mirroring mechanisms for trustworthy human-robot interaction Abstract:
The discovery of a group of neurons in the premotor cortex of macaque monkeys that became active both when the monkeys performed certain actions and when they observed another individual performing the same actions proposed the existence of a neural system that "mirrors" the actions of others,giving rise to a name Mirror Neuron System (Rizzolatti G., 1992). This discovery has had a major impact on our understanding of the neural basis of social cognition and has been the subject of numerous studies.
This presentation will investigate the use of mirroring mechanisms for establishing trustworthy human-robot interaction. Specifically, it will focus on designing a MNS model based on neural networks, implementing it in a humanoid robot NICO and evaluating its effectiveness in human-robot interaction scenarios. ]]> [FMFI] Prednášky a semináre [FMFI] Kalendár Damas.Gruska@fmph.uniba.sk Wed, 01 May 2024 21:58:00 +0200 CU BEGINS RENOVATING THE SECOND BLOCK OF THE ĽUDOVÍT ŠTÚR DORM https://uniba.sk/ Bratislava, 30 April 2024: Comenius University Bratislava (CU) announced the continuation of... "When our management took over the dormitories, they were in a pitiful state. The renovation should have happened a long time ago. Once the pandemic was over, we were hoping that this investment would become one of the government's priorities. However, we have reached a situation where we have no choice but to begin renovating using our own resources while simultaneously looking for other financing options." said Marek Števček, rector of CU. "Some accommodation capacity will be temporarily lost during the renovation work, but we’ll make sure we can accommodate as many guests as possible. In its present state, this building would no longer be safe to operate.” CU has invested 10,348,523.84 Eur into dorm upgrades. The Ľudovít Štúr Dormitory ("Štúrak") is the university’s largest student accommodation facility. It consists of two interconnected high-rises - Block A and Block B. Renovation of Block A is currently underway. During Stage 1, which has just been completed, all building utilities, bathrooms and central heating were replaced. Stage 2 will involve insulating the roof, facades, and replacing all windows and balcony doors. Renovation of Block B is starting now and will proceed in stages, just like Block A. The work will start after the summer semester. Students can stay on campus until their current contracts expire at the end of June. In this academic year, the university accommodated all applicants. The university is currently contacting partner organizations and it will offer students tips on alternative accommodation options in case its own capacity is insufficient. Comenius University management is convinced that it will be possible to save the largest dorm complex in Slovakia and that once the renovations are completed, accommodation will be available at affordable prices to as many students as possible.]]> [RUK] Tlačové správy [RUK] Titulka - úzke novinky [Mlyny] Titulka - úzke novinky pr@uniba.sk Tue, 30 Apr 2024 09:27:00 +0200 Comenius University will hold several amazing lectures during the Starmus festival http://https://uniba.sk/en/comenius-university-news/news-detail/back_to_page/spravodajsky-portal/article/univerzita-komenskeho-prinesie-seriu-spickovych-prednasok-v-ramci-festivalu-starmus-1/ On 12-17 May, 2024, the seventh edition of the STARMUS festival of science and art will take place...

"For the first time, STARMUS brings focus to our planet and we want to make the general public more responsive than ever before to the important issues of our time, affecting our planet," said astrophysicist Garik Israelian, co-founder of the STARMUS festival, during a press conference in Bratislava. The seventh year of the STARMUS festival will open with a concert by the world-famous musician Jean-Michel Jarré entitled Bridge to the Future, and performed on the bank of the river Danube, under the SNP Bridge. "With this concert, Jean-Michel Jarré will set the tone for the entire festival, which is specifically aimed at resolving the current issues that our planet faces," said the second co-founder of the festival, Sir Brian May, an astrophysicist and musician known primarily as the guitarist of the legendary band Queen. Brian May will be a special guest at the opening concert. Most headline lectures during the festival begin at 2 pm. In the mornings, partner institutions will host various lectures available for free, while the headline lectures are paid. The lectures are mainly aimed at students, academics, and the professional public.

April 2024, Brusel Lucia Rybanová and Andrea Martinková, had the opportunity to participate in a Kick-off event in Brussels, as part of the European Youth Week 2024, organised by the European Parliament. The main topic of the event was the upcoming European Parliament elections, but the event also covered the issue of young people's involvement in initiatives and the functioning of the European Union. During the event, the participants had the opportunity to get a closer look at the opportunities provided by the European Union for young people (e.g. internships, Erasmus+ and various other initiatives) and were also guided through topics that are considered essential for the future cooperation of the Member States, such as critical thinking in the digital space or climate change. ]]> [PraF] Titulka - úzke novinky - z uniba.sk [PraF] EN Titulka - úzke novinky Thu, 25 Apr 2024 14:40:00 +0200 Algebraic Graph Theory Seminar - Štefánia Glevitzká (26.4.2024) https://uniba.sk/ Friday 26.4.2024 at 13:00, Lecture room M/IX (online too) Štefánia Glevitzká:
Estimation of vertex-transitive numbers for simple graphs
Abstract:
A vertex-transitive closure of a graph G is a vertex-transitive supergraph of G on the same vertex set. The vertex-transitive number of G is the smallest possible degree of its vertex-transitive closure. In this talk, we present a lower bound on vertex-transitive numbers for a subclass of polarity graphs. We also classify graphs with various relatively small numbers of edges and a unique vertex-transitive closure. In addition, we identify an infinite family of asymmetric graphs whose vertex-transitive closures can be obtained by adding a single edge. For each of these results, we also provide a sketch of the proof. Those of you who are not able to attend in person or who are still uncertain about the safety of attending in person are welcome to attend via MS Teams. In either case, we hope to see as many of you as possible (either in person or virtually) at our Friday gatherings. ]]> [FMFI] Prednášky a semináre [FMFI] Kalendár Martin.Macaj@fmph.uniba.sk Wed, 24 Apr 2024 13:39:00 +0200 The results of the 45th Annual Students` Scientific Conference http://fileadmin/jlf/PR/oznamy/2024/04/SVOC_vysledky_2024.pdf List of winners in individual competition categories.
