I am interested in research on the acquisition of human intelligence and the development of human-like intelligent robots, based on a constructivist approach. 
I've developed human-like mathematical models through unsupervised learning using generative AI such as GPTs and diffusion models and statistical models. My work also included human behavior analysis, anomaly detection, multiple robot operations, imitation learning, and cooperative behavior of robots.
