-=== Call for submissions: 9th workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Cognition   ===+===== Working at the Institute for Artificial Intelligence (IAI) =====
  
-The 9th workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Cognition will be held at the Institute for Artificial Intelligence's TAB building on September 14 and 15, 2023. The goal of the AIC workshop series is to provide an international scientific forum for the discussion and presentation of theoretical and applied research developments in the areas of cognitive-inspired artificial intelligence, cognitive artificial systems, computational cognitive science and neuroscience.+We currently don't have any open positions for researchers. 
 +===== The IAI as an employer ===== 
 +If you are looking for a bachelor/master thesis or a job as a student research assistant, you may find some interesting opportunities on this page.
  
-=== Background  === 
  
-The main motivation for the AIC events lies in the fact that, historically, research in Artificial Intelligence has been based on a strong collaboration with other disciplines within the realm of the cognitive sciences.+===== Initiative applications =====
  
-Many of the original founders of AI as a research discipline aimed to develop human-level AI systems by taking inspiration from the heuristics of human cognition. This goal is still pursued (albeit with different interpretations) by many researchers around the world, and is one of the main challenges for the AI community. Indeed, the collaboration between AI and Cognitive Science has produced mutual benefits over the years. +<html><!-- 
 +== Physics-based grasping in VR with finger tracking(Student Job / HiWi) ==
  
-In AI, this partnership has led to the realization of better intelligent systems. In cognitive science, in turn, this partnership has enabled the development of cognitive models and architectures that provide a better understanding of human reasoning. +Implementing physics-based grasping models in virtual environments, 
 +using Manus VR.
  
-In recent years, after a period of partial fragmentation of research directions, the area of cognitively inspired artificial systems is gradually attracting renewed attention from both academia and industry, and the awareness of the need for additional research in this interdisciplinary field has gained widespread acceptance. +Requirements: 
 +  * Good C++ programming skills 
 +  * Familiar with skeletal animations 
 +  * Experience with simulators/physics-/game- engines 
 +  * Familiar with Unreal Engine API 
 +  * Familiar with version-control systems (git) 
 +  * Able to work independently with minimal supervision

-We invite all researchers who are interested in the overall goal and the topics of interest (below) of the AIC workshop series to submit their scientific contributions to the AIC scientific journal. 
-AIC is a peer-reviewed scientific venue that particularly welcome papers raising challenging questions, innovative ideas and out of the box thinking, which will hopefully promote interesting discussions at the workshop. The participation of early state researchers in particular is encouraged. Topics of interest for the AIC community include but are not limited to: 
  
-- Knowledge Representation and Cognition (e.g. Neural Networks models, +<html><!-- 
-Conceptual Spaces, Ontologies and representation of common sense)+== Lisp / CRAM support assistant (HiWi) ==
  
-- Cognitive Architectures (e.g. SOAR, ACT-R) and Cognitive modelling for Artificial Systems+Technical support for the group for Lisp and the CRAM framework. \\

-- B.I.C.A. (Biologically Inspired Cognitive Architectures) and systems +Requirements: 
-Cognitive Robotics+  * Good programming skills in Common Lisp 
 +  * Basic ROS knowledge
  
-- Human Robot Interaction+The student will be introduced to the CRAM framework at the beginning of the job, which is a robot programming framework written in Lisp. The student will then be responsible for assisting not familiar with the framework people, explaining them the parts they don't understand and pointing them to the relevant documentation sources.
