RIKEN Center for Brain Science Intelligent Behavior Control Unit
Unit Leader: Shingo Shimoda (Ph.D.)
Research Summary
The amazing ability of living organisms to adapt to unknown situations is so unique that we cannot understand it through the conventional model-based control strategy. Our approach is to find the design principle of biological computational systems and apply it to artificial controllers. Using bio-mimetic controllers, we will work towards developing controllers that can learn autonomous behavior through the interaction of robot bodies and unknown environments.
