The robot must perceive a ball travelling at high speed, estimate its position and spin, predict its trajectory, decide how to respond, and execute a precise motion, all while interacting with an intelligent and unpredictable opponent.<br>\r\nIn this talk, I will present Project ACE, an autonomous table tennis robot developed at Sony AI that progressed from learning basic racket skills to competing with elite human players. I will discuss the complete system behind this progression: high-speed visual perception, reinforcement learning, simulation, robot control, and the iterative sim-to-real process that enabled policies trained in simulation to perform on a real robot. Beyond table tennis, ACE provides a case study in what it takes to move from impressive robotic demonstrations to robust physical intelligence. I will share some of the lessons we learned about combining learning with control, using real-world failures to improve simulation, and designing AI systems that can adapt and act under the speed, uncertainty, and constraints of the physical world.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Bio</strong><br>\r\nMireille El Gheche is a Lead Research Scientist at SoftBank Robotics, working at the intersection of artificial intelligence and robotics.

Played continuously by the ensemble throughout the piece, the motif evolves under Julian Sartorius’s direction as he adapts the instrumentation (adding, substituting, or removing objects or instruments).<br>\r\n<br>\r\nA journey through minimalism, repetition, musical progression, and a deluge of sound. The concert stems from an experiment in which the addition, removal, or modification of basic elements generates new content. It also incorporates playfulness, the freedom to assemble elements, and the surprise of unexpected sound combinations. Much like many scientific protocols, this method—here applied to music—suggests avenues of convergence between scientific and creative practices.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/hZ4HRiNTQC4?si=RXzPTogaFJIKH2dK\" width=\"560\"></iframe><br>\r\nAt 7 p.m. that evening, as part of the opening reception for the installation <strong>NO/NC (Normally Open/Normally Closed)</strong>, co-created with Archizoom, Julian Sartorius will give a solo concert.<br>\r\n---<br>\r\n<strong>Biography of <a href=\"http://www.juliansartorius.com/\">Julian Sartorius</a></strong><br>\r\nDrummer, percussionist, and artist Julian Sartorius shapes sounds into unique forms. His precise and rich rhythmic patterns are true explorations of the hidden sounds of found objects and prepared instruments, bridging the gap between organic timbres and the language of electronic music. Julian Sartorius has released numerous solo albums, created audiovisual works, collaborated with musicians, writers, and artists, and performed in everything from intimate venues to festival stages.</div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"BCX2 Ltr OutlineElement SCXW167897111\"><br>\r\nTrained at the jazz schools in Bern and Lucerne under the guidance of musicians such as Fabian Kuratli, Pierre Favre, and Norbert Pfammatter, Julian Sartorius developed a unique musical approach at a very early age. Fascinated by small-scale variations, the interplay of tension and release, density, and vibration, he has created projects such as the 12-vinyl box set *Beat Diary* (Everest Records, 2012), comprising 365 rhythmic pieces accompanied by a book of photographs; the daily series of eight-second loops “Morphblog” (2013–2019); and “Depot,” an audiovisual installation for 16 speakers and 16 screens, presented at the Kunstmuseum in Thun. For his album “Hidden Tracks: Basel – Geneva” (Everest Records, 2017), Julian walked more than 200 kilometers with his drumsticks and recording equipment, playing and capturing a multitude of sounds and textures from objects he encountered along the way.<br>\r\n </div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"BCX2 Ltr OutlineElement SCXW167897111\">In recent years, Julian Sartorius has collaborated with numerous musicians, including Sophie Hunger, Sylvie Courvoisier, Gyda Valtysdottir, Dimlite, Shahzad Ismaily, and Dan Carey. His instantly recognizable percussion work also appears on recent albums by Kate Tempest, Matthew Herbert, and James Zoo. Julian Sartorius has toured and performed in North and South America, Asia, and Europe, sharing the stage with artists such as Marc Ribot, Deerhoof, Faust, Jaki Liebezeit, and Arto Lindsay.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n--- <br>\r\n<a href=\"http://usinesonore.ch/\"><strong>Usinesonore</strong></a><br>\r\nThe Usinesonore association shares its passion for music by promoting it through various activities in the Canton of Bern and beyond. It was previously invited to EPFL in 2017.<br>\r\nFounded in 2006 by Julien Annoni and Olivier Membrez, two young Bernese Jura natives passionate about contemporary music, the Usinesonore association organizes events centered on today’s music.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe association’s activities focus on three main areas: organizing the Usinesonore Festival, the Ensemble We Spoke, and organizing parallel events (traveling concerts, custom-designed events, outreach activities, etc.).<br>\r\n<br>\r\nEach event is shaped by careful consideration of how to share it with the audience. Usinesonore devotes all its energy to ensuring that the audience can experience the artistic moment, that they do not leave indifferent, and that they feel heard and supported throughout their experience.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Partner: <a href=\"http://usinesonore.ch/\">Usinesonore</a></strong><br>\r\n \r\n<figure class=\"image\"><a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/fr/les-culturelles/les-culturelles-dautomne-2026/\"><img alt=\"Programme complet des Culturelles\" height=\"182\" src=\"https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/LES_CULTURELLES_1920x1080_programme_complet.png\" width=\"600\"></a>\r\n\r\n<figcaption>© 2026 EPFL, Laura Persat</figcaption>\r\n</figure>\r\n</div>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-09-03T16:34:42", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-28T15:15:03", "link_label": "Programme complet des Culturelles", "link_url": "https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/fr/les-culturelles/les-culturelles-dautomne-2026/", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "Hall SG", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SG%20094.11", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<a href=\"https://www.juliansartorius.com/\">Julian Sartorius</a>, batteur<strong> ; </strong><a href=\"https://usinesonore.ch/\">Usinesonore</a>", "organizer": "<a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/fr/les-culturelles/\">Festival Les Culturelles</a> (Pôle Culture VPI)", "contact": "<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/veronique.mauron\">Véronique Mauron Layaz</a>", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "musique, concert, batterie", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121701/", "category": { "id": 9, "code": "MANIF", "fr_label": "Événements festifs et culturels", "en_label": "Cultural events", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/2/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/21/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/22/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/79/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/145/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72517, "title": "NO/NC (Normally open/ Normally closed) - Installation", "slug": "nonc-normally-open-normally-closed-installation", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/nonc-normally-open-normally-closed-installation", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33783/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33783/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33783/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-10-13", "end_date": "2026-10-13", "start_time": "18:30:00", "end_time": null, "description": "<div class=\"BCX2 Ltr OutlineElement SCXW57136668\"><strong>Opening reception on October 13 at 6:30 p.m. (<a href=\"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/julian-sartorius-concert-rllrlrllrrlrlrlrllrlrlr/\">with a concert at 7pm</a>)<br>\r\nExhibition on view October 13–24</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe Pôle Culture (VPI) and <a href=\"http://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/museum-exhibitions/archizoom/fr/accueil/\">Archizoom </a>are collaborating on an installation by the artist duo <a href=\"http://aatb.ch/about/\">Andrea Anner & Thibault Brevet (AATB)</a> that extends Archizoom’s exhibition <a href=\"http://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/museum-exhibitions/archizoom/fr/do-robots-dream-of-construction-sites/\">Do Robots Dream of Construction Sites?</a> and is part of the Les Culturelles festival.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nNO/NC is a new work by AATB featuring <strong>a swarm of inflatable barriers</strong> that move autonomously through the space to form temporary structures and barricades, preventing visitors from moving about and crossing the space freely.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nWhoever controls and decides where and for whom to build walls also decides how we form a cohesive society—a society cemented by fictitious boundaries—while fragmenting and dissolving those deemed undesirable.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe walls of the installation take on an almost ghostly quality.
