 Topics 
* Learning or De-Learning - How Motor Circuits Develop: In Anbetracht der Tatsache, dass ein Grossteil der neuronalen Verbindungen und Neuronen kurz vor/nach der Geburt abstirbt, stellt sich die Frage, ob wir Bewegungen überhaupt erlernen. Alternativ haben wir erst einmal alle Bewegungen ge-coded, und verlernen dann einfach nur einige Kombinationen.
* Reservoir computing on dedicated HW
* Applications of Deep Learning in Robotics 
* Applications of Reservoir Computing in Robotics
* Overview and comparison of existing software / tools for neural simulations
* Neural plasticity for robotic information streams
* Active Touch Sensing
* Robotics for Neuroscientists – more than just a mechanical test platform for neural hypotheses?
* Compliant Actuators – more than just a vestigiality?
* Much ado about nothing – do artificial neural circuits improve robotics control?
