Project
We establish a concept of neuromorphic dynamics as innovative computation technologies based on neural and body systems in animals.
Associate Professor Kohei Nakajima (University of Tokyo), a member of this research project, in collaboration with Masayuki Ushio, the lead author from Kyoto University (currently a principal investigator at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology) and others, reported that networks existing in ecosystems have computational power and that this power can be used […]
Associate Professor Kohei Nakajima (The University of Tokyo), a member of this research project devised a new learning algorithm suitable for physical deep learning by extending a biologically-inspired training algorithm in collaboration with Assistant Professor Inoue (The University of Tokyo) and Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, and they confirmed its effectiveness. By applying this learning […]
The HSR Community 2022 Annual Meeting was held on November 23, 2022, and the research group led by Prof. Tamukoh, a member of this project, received a perfect score along with the Matsuo Lab. of the University of Tokyo and tied for the Best Poster Award. Prof. Tamukoh’s research group presented an object recognition system […]
The research group led by Dr. Takahashi at the University of Tokyo, a member of our project, discovered that rats move their bodies to the beat of 120-140 BPM music, just like humans. They also reported that brain activity in the auditory cortex of rats is synchronized to the tempo of the music, and showed […]
A paper [1] co-authored by Professor Yuichi Katori, who is a member of this project, has received the Japanese Neural Networks Society Best Paper Award. The award is given to particularly outstanding papers published in ”Neural Networks”, a highly influential journal in the field of neuroscience and neural networks. The award ceremony was held at […]
NEURO2022 was held in Okinawa, Japan from June 30 to July 3, 2022. Mr. Yu Yoshino, a first-year master’s student under the supervision of Prof. Katori, received the Junior Investigator Poster Award. This research verified the short-term memory capacity of a reinforcement learning based on reservoir computing, and demonstrated its autonomous mobility performance in a […]
The RoboCup Japan Open 2021@Home Open Platform League (OPL) was held online on March 22th and 23th, 2022. Team Hibikino-Musashi@Home won the second place in the main competition and they won the first place in the Technical Challenge. In RoboCup@Home OPL, participants compete in performance of tasks using their originally developed hardware. Hibikino-Musashi@Home was able […]
The RoboCup Japan Open 2021@Home Domestic Standard Platform League (DSPL) was held at Tokyo Big Sight from March 9th to 12th, 2022. Hibikino-Musashi@Home won both the competition and the Technical Challenge. In the RoboCup@Home DSPL competition, participants compete in accuracy and speed to clean up a messy room using the Human Support Robot (HSR) developed […]
The 3rd International Symposium on Neuromorphic AI Hardware was held on March 18-19, 2022. Ms. Yuka Shishido, a first-year master’s student under the supervision of Prof. Morie, received the Student Presentation Award. This research proposes an environment of VLSI design where Python and LTSpice work together to conduct AI hardware simulation efficiently. The results of […]
