The SFB/TR 8 Spatial Cognition comprises 19 projects which are structured into the three research areas Reasoning, Action, and Interaction. Reasoning projects are concerned with internal and external representations of space and with inference processes using these representations. Action projects are concerned with the acquisition of information from spatial environments and with actions and behavior in these environments. Interaction projects are concerned with communication about space by means of language and maps.

ECAI Workshop "Machine Learning for Interactive Systems: Bridging the Gap among Language, Motor Control, and Vision"
Conference | 27.08.2012 - 28.08.2012
Interactive systems such as multimodal interfaces or robots must perceive, act, and interact in the environment where they are embedded. Naturally, perception, action and interaction are mutually related and affect each other. This is particularly the case in many hands-free and eyes-free mobile applications of interactive systems. Machine learning offers the attractive capability of making interactive systems more adaptive to the user and environment. For any of perception, action, and interaction we find a large number of applications using machine learning techniques. However, holistic approaches that tackle these fields in a unified way are still rare. The question of how to integrate language, motor control and vision in machine learning interfaces in an efficient and effective way has been a long standing problem and is the main topic of the workshop.

Spatial Cognition 2012
Conference | 31.08.2012 - 03.09.2012
Spatial Cognition 2012 (SC 2012) will bring together researchers
working on spatial cognition, biological inspired systems, spatial
learning, communication, robotics, and perception. The conference is
single-track and the final program will be the result of a selective
review process. The program will include invited talks as well as oral
and poster presentations of refereed papers. The main conference will
be preceded by one day of workshops and tutorials. Every effort is
being made to keep conference expenses affordable, particularly for
student attendees. All papers presented at the conference will be
published by Springer.
