Course summary

The Institute of Perception, Action and Behaviour (IPAB) focuses on how to link computational perception, representation, transformation and generation processes to external worlds, in theory and in practice. This covers domains such as:

  • visual perception
  • dynamic control of robot systems
  • active sensing and decision making
  • biomimetic robotics
  • computer-based generation of external phenomena, such as images, music or actions
  • agent-based interaction within computer games and animation
Supported by the dynamic research culture of IPAB, you can develop robots that learn their own motor control, mimic animal behaviours, or produce autonomous and coordinated team actions. Or you can work with systems that interpret real images and video, or generate complex behaviour in animated characters. We aim to link strong theoretical perspectives with practical hands-on construction and systems development, and provide the hardware and software support to realise this vision.
