I thought it might be good to start a dedicated thread to discuss summer school topics and activities. The theme seems to circle around robots, AI and machine learning. Let’s brainstorm some ideas in the comments.

I've added a paper in Zotero called "Locally noisy autonomous agents improve global
human coordination in network experiments." This is an interesting paper about introducing "noisy" bots into cooperative human games. Robots' noisy mistakes can improve human performance in the games. This could be good for the summer school since it involves robots, stochasticity, is easy to describe and got some pop-science notoriety a couple of years ago.

Yes, this does sound very good for the summer school!
