RIKEN Information R&D and Strategy Headquarters Behavior Learning Research Team
Team Leader: Yutaka Nakamura (D.Eng.)
Research Summary
In this team, we conduct research on learning function using reinforcement learning and/or deep neural network, motion generation methods for communicative robots, and control methods for autonomous robots.
Specifically, we will promote research related to the following four points.
- Reinforcement learning of robots interacting with humans.
- Automatic generation of human-like and natural motion of communicative robot based on human cognition.
- Interactive robot operation mechanism through communication.
- Autonomous robots operating in everyday environments.
