About the presenter:
Professor Dr. Ralf Otte is professor of industrial automation at Technische Hochschule Ulm (THU), where he teaches Control Engineering and Artificial Intelligence. From 2010-2015, he was managing director and scientific director at tecData AG, Switzerland. Since 2015, he has been professor at THU, Ulm, where he has been responsible for the development of the Artificial Intelligence department.
In 2019, he published two books:
- Otte, R., Artificial Intelligence for dummies, Wiley Publishing Group.
- Otte, R., Wippermann, B., Otte, V., From Data Mining to Big Data, Hanser Publishing Group.
His research interests include:
- Research into the basics of mathematical modelling of consciousness
- Development of the physical basics for the development of machines, which are able to develop rudimentary machine consciousness
- Development of new systems to significantly improve machine vision in autonomous driving, as deep learning methods will fail
- Further development of machine vision into real physical vision, on the basis of which biological organisms can perceive their environment
