Robot Primate to study Imitation Learning (ETH Neurotechnology Group)
Human-level imitation learning remains to be the greatest frontier in robotics. We are interested in understanding the computations in the primate brain during imitation and would like to build a robotic avatar of a marmoset monkey, with which a real monkey can interact.
Vision and Future Application
Human-level imitation learning remains to be the greatest frontier in robotics. Non-human primates also have advanced imitation capabilities:

We are interested in understanding the computations in the primate brain during imitation and would like to build a robotic avatar of a marmoset monkey, with which a real monkey can interact. We need two masters’ students who are interested in building a life-like virtual/robot marmoset with moving eyes and head (optionally: face and body actuators) and basic AI capabilities: detecting and tracking objects, including face detection and gaze estimation.
The students should have basic experience in electronics and mechatronics, and advanced programming skills.
