On 24th may 2025 University of Siegen presented itself at Open University day. At more than 50 booths and hands-on stations, visitors could learn about university life and could be active themselves. ZESS and DFG Research Unit “Learning to Sense”, supported by Lamarr Institute, were present with two booths where – among others – an AI cat robot could be guided through a ping pong ball.
