Kuba Bąkowski and guests
- Dr. Eng. Anna Ostaszewska-Liżewska
- is assistant professor at the Institute of Metrology and Biomedical Engineering at the Faculty of Mechatronics of the Warsaw University of Technology. She specializes in mechatronics, multimedia technologies, and the design of devices used in artistic activities. She conducts research on modelling physical phenomena using the finite-element method to optimize sensors and on human-machine interfaces using eyetracking and artificial intelligence. Her interdisciplinary approach combines knowledge from the field of technology, science, and art, which results in innovative projects at the interface of these fields.
- Dr. Eng. Jan Klimaszewski
- is an assistant professor at the Institute of Automatic Control and Robotics at the Faculty of Mechatronics of the Warsaw University of Technology. His main scientific interests include robotics, walking machines, control of multi-member mechanisms, cooperative robots, tactile sensors, human-machine interfaces, and vision systems in robotics. In particular, he deals with the calibration of vision cameras, matching of vision and thermal images, and machine vision in robotics.
- Róża Tomikowska
- is a specialist and practitioner in the field of chemical reactors, thermal analysis, and chromatography, which she combines with the production of exhibitions, running the Zero3 Art Space and the Zero3 Foundation (contemporary art, discussion space), and curating. Organizer of conferences, seminars, and workshops; graduate of the Poznań University of Economics, the London College University of Kensington, postgraduate studies in art mediation, history, and market (Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław, Institute of Art of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, Collegium Civitas in Warsaw).
- Rafał Tomikowski
- specializes in design and research equipment. Initiator of the Zero3 Art Space and the Zero3 Foundation, he is also an exhibition producer and curator. Organizer of conferences, seminars, and workshops. Graduate of the Poznań University of Economics and of postgraduate studies in the field of art mediation, history and market (Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław, Institute of Art of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, Collegium Civitas in Warsaw, Andrzej Frycz-Modrzewski University in Kraków) and plastics at the Poznań University of Technology.

Dr. Eng. Maciej Przybylski
-
is an assistant professor at the Institute of Automation and Robotics at the Faculty of Mechatronics, Warsaw University of Technology. He is the author of many new algorithms for robot motion and action planning, with successful presentations in journals and at international conferences. He develops autonomous navigation and control systems for Polish companies. In 2022-2023, he completed a one-year postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA, funded by the Deccan Foundation, where he began work on self-supervised robot learning guided by intrinsic motivation. He is currently working on methods for rapid robot learning that do not require large data sets.
