This talk is meant to give an overview of the semantics of HoTT in (∞,1)-categories, tackling the key challenge of rigidification: the process of bridging homotopy-coherent notions phrased in models of higher categories such as quasicategories, and their type-theoretical counterparts that must account for the inherent strictness of type theory.
\r\nAfter quickly recalling the usual categorical semantics of extensional Martin-Löf type theory within locally cartesian closed category, the plan is to present some useful ideas to carry over some of the argument to the higher setting. Specifically, I will discuss the process of turning an elementary higher topos into a model of HoTT, and sketch important ideas used to prove the internal language conjecture for locally cartesian closed (∞,1)-categories.

\r\nTitle
\r\nLearning to Play at Human Speed: From Simulation to Expert-Level Robot Table Tennis
\r\n
\r\nAbstract
\r\nWhat does it take for a robot to compete with a human in one of the fastest and most dynamic sports?
\r\nTable tennis compresses many of the fundamental challenges of physical AI into just a few hundred milliseconds. 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.
\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.

\r\nRain is essential to the cycle of life, and we sometimes forget how important it is. The Petrichor installation aims to restore rain’s central role and encourage reflection on its presence. 
\r\n
\r\nThe installation consists of two parts:
\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n
The installation has aesthetic and auditory elements designed to enliven the campus and demonstrate a commitment to sustainability. Its goal is to encourage students to reflect on water usage and spark new ideas for managing this resource.
\r\n
\r\nLaunched in 2025, Petrichor is a project developed by the AAIE (Association of Artist-Engineers at EPFL), which aims to build a community around contemporary art on campus by organizing meetings with artists and museum outings. The association also provides students with opportunities to develop their own artistic creations.
\r\n
\r\nThis project received support from the Pôle Culture (VPI) as part of a competition held twice a year for student associations involved in campus culture.

\r\nFollowing the film, Anne Delseth, artistic director of Visions du Réel, will lead a discussion with director Jean-Stéphane Bron and the audience.
\r\n
\r\nBehind the closed doors of an extraordinary construction site, filmmaker Jean-Stéphane Bron spent four years documenting the construction in Paris of the Pathé Palace cinema, a luxury theater designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano for the group led by producer Jérôme Seydoux, one of the most influential figures in French cinema.
\r\n
\r\nHis documentary Le Chantier chronicles an extraordinary architectural adventure by offering a real-time portrait of a society in miniature, driven by a common goal: the construction of movie theaters for the coming century. From the architect to the master carpenters, from the construction foreman to the head of the Pathé Group, from the sound system designer to the future projectionists, the documentary paints a vivid, human-scale portrait of this community.
\r\n
\r\nLe Chantier premiered in 2025 at the Locarno Film Festival and was released in theaters in the spring of 2026. This film, screened at EPFL, echoes the Double Deck construction project currently underway in plain view of everyone. It raises questions about how to tell the story of complex realities. Ultimately, it also symbolizes a world yet to be built. Following the screening, there will be a discussion with director Jean-Stéphane Bron.

\r\n\r\n
Jean-Stéphane Bron 
\r\nJean-Stéphane Bron (born 1969 in Lausanne) is a graduate of the École Cantonale d’Art de Lausanne (ECAL). His documentaries address contemporary issues such as the crisis of democracy, the economic crisis, and the rise of populism, using dramatic techniques similar to those found in fiction. Among them, *Connu de nos services* (1997) addresses the scandal surrounding the political dossiers compiled by the Federal Police in the 1970s and 1980s. *Mais im Bundeshuus / Le Génie helvétique* (2003), one of Swiss cinema’s major box-office hits, follows the work of a parliamentary commission tasked with drafting a law on genetic engineering. *The Blocher Experiment* (2013) sparked intense controversy. *Cleveland vs. Wall Street* (2010), about the subprime mortgage crisis, was presented at the Cannes Film Festival (Directors’ Fortnight) and nominated for a César Award in France. His film *The Paris Opera* (2017) was subsequently widely distributed around the world. With this film, which drew more than 200,000 viewers to theaters, Jean-Stéphane Bron won the Swiss Film Award in the Best Documentary category for the third time in 2018. In 2021, Jean-Stéphane Bron released *Cinq nouvelles du cerveau*, a feature-length film that explores various mind-boggling questions related to advances in the fields of neuroscience and artificial intelligence. Between December 2021 and May 2022, he filmed the series *Ma rue de l’Ale* for RTS on his own street in Lausanne; the series was a huge hit with audiences.
\r\n
\r\nExploring reality through the eyes of those who shape it. Jean-Stéphane Bron’s unique art lies not merely in presenting the facts, but in understanding both the people involved and the systems within which they operate—systems that shape their actions.

\r\nThe EPFL Sustainable Labs team is pleased to welcome you to its recurring \"Sustainable Labs: Get Involved\" sessions. Held every week, alternating between Tuesdays and Thursdays, these sessions provide an opportunity for laboratories, platforms, centers, and units to receive guidance and support on implementing more sustainable laboratory practices.
\r\n
\r\nThe Sustainable Labs initiative is part of EPFL's Climate & Sustainability Strategy 2030, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 40% compared to 2006/2019 levels and achieve climate neutrality by 2040.
\r\n
\r\n→ Learn more about the EPFL Sustainable Labs initiative.
\r\n
\r\nResearch activities are a key lever for achieving these ambitious goals. However, while cutting-edge research drives innovation, it also carries a significant environmental footprint. Laboratories consume large amounts of energy, generate substantial quantities of plastic, chemical, and biological waste, and contribute considerably to greenhouse gas emissions. At EPFL, we are committed to understanding and reducing this impact. Through the development and deployment of the EPFL CO₂ Calculator, we help researchers measure, understand, and improve the environmental performance of their activities.
\r\n
\r\nFrom October 8 to December 17, 2026, the Sustainable Labs: Get Involved sessions will focus on training and supporting users in the use of the EPFL CO₂ Calculator.
