Can a robot learn to ride a bike just by watching? Welcome to this WASP Lighthouse @ Lund seminar in which Professor Edward A. Lee (UC Berkeley) explores what the physical world knows that digital data never will.

  • When? 10 July, 2–3 pm
  • Where? Teknodromen, M-Huset, Lund
  • For whom? All are welcome

In the seminar, Edward A. Lee (Distinguished Professor Emeritus, UC Berkeley) will discuss whether all information can truly be captured in digital form. Drawing on examples from AI and robotics, he examines the limits of data-driven approaches and argues that some knowledge can only be gained through interaction with the physical world.

Register by 3 July.
