Perceiving Systems MPI Year Book Virtuelle Körper ermöglichen Blick in eine gesunde Zukunft / Virtual bodies provide a glimpse into a healthy future Behrens, S. C., Tesch, J., Sun, P. J. B., Starke, S., Black, M. J., Schneider, H., Pruccoli, J., Zipfel, S., Giel, K. January 2023 (Published)
Menschen mit Magersucht leben in ständiger Angst, zuzunehmen. Betroffene tun oft alles dafür, um keinesfalls mehr zu wiegen – selbst wenn sie bereits unter den gesundheitlichen Folgen leiden oder im Alltag eingeschränkt sind. Forschende des Max-Planck-Instituts für Intelligente Systeme und des Universitätsklinikums Tübingen haben ein Virtual-Reality-Tool entwickelt, mit dem sich eine Gewichtszunahme simulieren lässt. Die Forschungsergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass die wiederholte Auseinandersetzung mit virtuellem gesundem Gewicht Personen mit Magersucht hilft, ihre Angst vor einer Gewichtzunahme zu reduzieren. ENGLISH: People with anorexia live in constant fear of gaining weight. They often do everything in their power to avoid putting on weight, even if they are already suffering from the health consequences or are restricted in their daily lives. Computer Vision researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and the University Hospital Tübingen have developed a virtual reality tool that can be used to simulate weight gain. The research suggests that repeated exposure to a healthy bodyweight in virtual reality helps people with anorexia nervosa reduce their fear of gaining weight. The full text can be found in German on the website of the Max Planck Society.

Perceiving Systems MPI Year Book Computer-Vision-Forschung deckt Stereotypen über Körperformen auf / Computer vision research unveils stereotypes about body shapes Quirós-Ramírez, M. A., Streuber, S., Black, M. J. January 2021 (Published)
Untersuchungen am MPI für Intelligente Systeme haben gezeigt, wie Menschen andere wahrnehmen und dabei einer Person allein auf Basis ihrer Körperform unbewusst bestimmte Charaktereigenschaften zuschreiben. Dabei stellte das Forschungsteam fest, dass die Parteizugehörigkeit der Betrachtenden die soziale Wahrnehmung beeinflusst. Das Urteil über andere hängt sowohl von der Körperform der betrachteten Person als auch von der eigenen politischen Gesinnung ab, was möglicherweise politische und gesellschaftliche Auswirkungen hat. Diese Forschungsarbeit soll das Bewusstsein für diese Voreingenommenheit schärfen. ENGLISH: Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems show how people perceive others and unconsciously attribute certain character traits to a person based solely on their body shape. They also found that the political affiliation of the observer influences the social perception. The judgment of others depends on both the body shape of the person being observed and the viewer’s own political preference, potentially having political and social implications. The research project aims to raise awareness of this bias.

Empirical Inference Haptic Intelligence Perceiving Systems Physical Intelligence Robotic Materials MPI Year Book Scientific Report 2016 - 2021 2021
This report presents research done at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems from January2016 to November 2021. It is our fourth report since the founding of the institute in 2011. Dueto the fact that the upcoming evaluation is an extended one, the report covers a longer reportingperiod.This scientific report is organized as follows: we begin with an overview of the institute, includingan outline of its structure, an introduction of our latest research departments, and a presentationof our main collaborative initiatives and activities (Chapter1). The central part of the scientificreport consists of chapters on the research conducted by the institute’s departments (Chapters2to6) and its independent research groups (Chapters7 to24), as well as the work of the institute’scentral scientific facilities (Chapter25). For entities founded after January 2016, the respectivereport sections cover work done from the date of the establishment of the department, group, orfacility. These chapters are followed by a summary of selected outreach activities and scientificevents hosted by the institute (Chapter26). The scientific publications of the featured departmentsand research groups published during the 6-year review period complete this scientific report.

Perceiving Systems MPI Year Book Colour patch could throw self-driving vehicles off track Ranjan, A., Janai, J., Geiger, A., Black, M. J. January 2019 (Published)
In our team of researchers at the Max-Planck-Institute for Intelligent Systems in Tübingen we show that optical flow systems based on deep neural networks – a likely component of future autonomous cars – are vulnerable to adversarial attacks. The computer vision experts are shaking up the automotive industry by warning car manufacturers around the globe that it could take a simple color pattern to put the brakes on computer vision systems in autonomous cars. The full article can be read on the website of the Max Planck Society.
