Distinguished Lecture Series - Talk by Oliver Brock (TU Berlin)
We are pleased to announce our upcoming Distinguished Lecture Series talk by Oliver Brock (TU Berlin)! The talk will take place in person on February 7th, in room UN32.101. Professor Brock will also be available for meetings on February 8th. If you are interested in scheduling a meeting, please email .
Oliver Brock is the Alexander-von-Humboldt Professor of Robotics in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the Technische Universität Berlin, a German “University of Excellence”. He received his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 2000 and held postdoctoral positions at Rice University and Stanford University. He was an Assistant and Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Massachusetts Amherst before moving back to Berlin in 2009. The research of Brock’s lab, the Robotics and Biology Laboratory, focuses on embodied intelligence, mobile manipulation, interactive perception, grasping, manipulation, soft material robotics, interactive machine learning, motion generation, and the application of algorithms and concepts from robotics to computational problems in structural molecular biology. Oliver Brock directs the Research Center of Excellence “Science of Intelligence”. He is an IEEE Fellow and was president of the Robotics: Science and Systems Foundation from 2012 until 2019.

You are warmly invited to join the team of the Stuttgart ELLIS Unit for their kick-off event celebrating the official start of their operations.
The directors Ingo Steinwart and Andreas Bulling, as well as the rector of the University of Stuttgart Wolfram Ressel, will introduce the unit, its planned activities and its members. This will be followed by a keynote talk by ELLIS Fellow Bernt Schiele (Max Planck Institute for Informatics) and further presentations by Paul Bürkner (University of Stuttgart), Katherine J. Kuchenbecker (Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems), Michael Pradel (University of Stuttgart), and Steffen Staab (University of Stuttgart).
The unit’s PostDocs and PhD students will be introduced through lightning talks and poster presentations. A networking event will close the day’s activities.
The event programming is now available online here!
