As in the previous year, NCCR "IM2" will present the humanoid robot NAO, who interacts with children. This stimulates discussions about speech recognition, vocal synthesis and spatial analysis. NCCR "MaNEP" will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the discovery of superconductivity by displaying one of its most specatcular effects: magnetic levitation. NCCR "Affective Sciences" will invite children to name different smells either freely or by showing them a picture representing the smell. This demonstrates the importance of vision in olfactory recognition.
