Nominator's project description

Oliver Brock is a pioneer in the field of research into artificial intelligence for the next generation of autonomous robots which can produce complicated reactions and motion sequences and are thus suitable for use in medicine, space travel or in case of accidents involving radioactivity. At Berlin’s University of Technology Brock is not only expected to develop this research focus area but also propel forward partnerships with other academic institutions and industry.
