Please note that your attention to the following information on this site before applying to the summer school is important. 

About the event

Embodied AI will explore the intersection of artificial intelligence, robotics, neuroscience, and cognitive science. As we witness rapid advancements in technology, it is crucial to understand how AI systems can interact with and learn from their environment. Throughout this summer school, we will delve deep into the principles, applications, and future prospects of embodied AI.

During the summer school, you will have the opportunity to engage with experts during lectures, and discussions. You will also gain insights into the latest research through hand-on learning via exercises and labs. We will also discuss interdisciplinary perspectives as the topic of Embodied AI draws from many perspectives.  

The Thematic Summer School on Embodied AI 2024 will be held in Örebro, Sweden, on campus at Örebro University, and leverage upon the facilities including our Robotics Lab and Visual Lab.  

Participant Information

The main target group from WASP Graduate School is Class 2023, however, students from other classes are more than welcome to apply.

Content, Requirement and Credits

During the summer school, students explore Embodied AI, focusing on integrating AI with physical systems. Engage in lectures, workshops, and hands-on projects.  

After passing this summer school, the student will be able to:

  • Explain fundamental paradigms in embodied AI and distinguish them from traditional approaches in artificial intelligence.
  • Analyze various aspects of evaluating embodied AI systems, including their interaction with the environment and adaptability to different contexts. 
  • Critically discuss the implications of embodied AI on societal factors such as human-machine interaction, ethics, and privacy. 
  • Identify legal considerations and frameworks relevant to the development and deployment of embodied AI technologies. 
  • Design, train, and optimize embodied AI models tailored to specific applications in robotics, virtual agents, or other embodied systems.

Active participation on site in Örebro is required to receive credit. 

After completing the summer school, and the hands-on work during the summer school, students will receive 1.5 ECTS credits.

Note that these credits do not count towards the 27 credits you are expected to complete in the WASP Graduate School.
