NICO - NICOL Workshop

1 August 2025

Our team showcased new results at the Workshop on Artificial and Natural Cognitive Systems: Links and Discrepancies, organized by the Academy of Sciences and Humanities in Hamburg (July 21–22, 2025). During the lab demonstrations, our group members Jan-Gerrit Habekost and Connor Gaede presented the NICO and NICOL humanoid robots, and they demonstrated our advancements in embodied AI and human-robot interaction. Their work gave a hands-on example of how robots can learn and interact in ways inspired by human cognition. More details about this research can be found here.
