Meet our hero, Captain Squeak. He is a brave and adventurous mouse who loves exploring the galaxy in his spaceship. He has a mission: to find the legendary planet of cheese, where he hopes to find his true happiness.
But Captain Squeak is not alone in his quest. He has enemies: the Furry Feline Friends. They are a cunning group of space spies who want to catch their arch nemesis, the mouse who always escapes their traps. They have a secret weapon: a giant laser cannon that can destroy anything in its path. They will stop at nothing to get their revenge.
The chase is on. Captain Squeak and the Furry Feline Friends are engaged in a fierce space battle, high above a red planet. The cat spaceship is bigger and stronger, but the mouse spaceship is faster and smarter. They fire lasers and missiles at each other, dodging and weaving through the asteroids. Who will win this epic showdown?
Disaster! The Red Claw, the lead cat spaceship, is hit by a feline-seeking missile from Captain Squeak. The villain, Commander Whiskers, quickly jumps through the main viewing screen to escape the blast. His life partner, a beautiful white-nosed patches cat named Fluffy, flashes before his mind’s eye. He remembers their first kiss, their wedding day, their last goodbye. Is this the end for him? Will he ever see her again?
Saved, for now. Commander Whiskers awaits rescue in his escape cat basket, pride hurt but feline fine. He had a close call, but he managed to grab an escape cat basket from the storage room before jumping out of the exploding spaceship. He hopes his crewmates are safe too. He watches as Captain Squeak flies away in his mouse spaceship, victorious. He clenches his paws and hisses: “I’ll get you next time, space mouse! You haven’t seen the last of me!”
Epilogue:
I asked BingChat to take a look at this website and this is the resulting exchange. I’m amazed at the power and realism of the interactions with these LLMs and generative AI!
The result is somewhat similar to how I know Utrecht looks, with canals, concentric rings of road and highways connecting to the outside. It might be my age or having grown unaccustomed to map reading, but it will be a challenge to find my way with this map. And let’s pretend we are not further confused by the Ciuh Cleck title of the map and assume that it AI-ish for Utrecht.
We\Visit makes virtual hospital visits possible for families and patients when hospital access is limited. In the ad-hoc corona project, TU Delft engineers, designers and psychologists are developing an online communication platform that connects families with their loved ones in difficult times. With We\Visit remote hospital visits are made possible by scheduling video calls when patients or family members are in isolation or when visits to the care facility are limited and even cancelled.
“Visiting a loved one who’s critically ill: normally that’s possible, but due to the coronavirus, visiting ICUs is no longer permitted. The result is a lonely fight behind closed doors. In an attempt to combat the loneliness, researchers at Delft University of Technology have come up with We\Visit: a tool that facilitates video-calling by appointment. And it was developed at lightning speed after the Reinier de Graaf hospital sounded the alarm.”
Wow, I got a position at the Delft University of Technology at the 
Sydney Australia is about as far away from home as possible. The trip to attend the IVA2018 conference in Sydney was long. So why not stay for a little while to make some new (science) friends? “I was here anyway”, I told Anton Bogdanovych who was kind enough to host me at the Western Sydney University.
Flipper 2.0 aims to help developers of embodied conversational agents (ECAs) quickly and flexibly create dialogues. Jelte van Waterschoot presented our

Visiting European research project partners is great: seeing the places, trying the food, meeting the people. It is only fair to return the favour from time to time. In the Council of Coaches project many partners are from Twente, so it makes a lot of sense (less people traveling) to have meetings in Twente. We were the hosts for two technical integration meetings, April 23-26 and October 8-12. We had guests from the University of Dundee in the UK, the Sorbonne University in France, the Polytechnic University Valencia in Spain, and the Danish Board of Technology Foundation.
Working in science is awesome but sometimes, often at a party, it can be challenging to explain what it is that I do. I studied psychology and now work with, you know… “robots but social ones” as someone put it. Roughly two groups of people ask about my work and job, 1) those who are very interested in novel technology and psychology and 2) those who are scared this new technology is dangerous and “might steal their job”… or worse. I love talking about my job so always 1) explain as much as people find interesting and 2) reassure that robotic overlords might not happen soon (and that they probably will have an off-switch). In this post, you can read what I might say if you ask me at a party “so you work with robots, right…?”
