The course will cover the state of the art in cognitively inspired robotics and cognitive architectures. It will cover examples from, amongst others, human-robot interaction, social robotics, and developmental robotics. It further gives an introduction to Nengo, a general framework for cognitive architectures using spiking neural networks that can run on neuromorphic hardware. |

For the first part of the course, you will write a popular-science-magazine-style opinion article about current research in Cognitive Robotics.
For the second part of the course, you will implement a cognitive agent which solves given tasks. You will document your solution in a report.
Both the opinion article and the report need to score a passing grade. A failed component can be resubmitted once improved given the feedback obtained, with the grade capped at 7.
