Bio of the Speaker
Bio of the Speaker
Hiroaki Wagatsuma started his career as a hardware engineer on development projects of personal computer at the NEC Corporation, for producing the world's first generation of the notebook-type computer, PC-98note, released in 1989. He received a M.S. in Mathematical Sciences in 1997 and a Dr. Sci. in Mathematical Sciences in 2005 from Tokyo Denki University. In 2000, he became a Special Postdoctoral Researcher at RIKEN for studying computational models focusing on the brain oscillation. From 2003 to 2008, he was a Research Scientist in the Laboratory for Dynamics of Emergent Intelligence at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute. His research interests include theoretical modeling of brain oscillations, the memory integration process of experienced episodes, and the implementation of oscillatory neural networks into neurorobotics.
Dr. Wagatsuma is currently Associate Professor of Kyushu Institute of Technology (KYUTECH) in the Department of Human Intelligence Systems, Graduate School of Life Science and Systems Engineering. His areas of specialization are nonlinear dynamics, focusing on the emergence of the intelligence. His laboratory tackles issues on dynamics of complex muscular-skeletal system with constraints to reduce the degrees of freedom, and recently extended to integrative fields, including ontology and description logic applied to ill-posed problems, EEG in dynamic environments, simultaneous recoding data analysis and hierarchical representation in data and semantics.
In other words, he focused on "Semantics-Oriented Embodied Intelligence for Humans and Robots," or simply say "Semantics and Dynamics Required in the Coordination of Body and Mind."
About the course
About the course
As discussed in the book "Neuromorphic and Brain-Based Robots (Cambridge University Press, 2011)" edited by Jeffrey L. Krichmar (University of California, Irvine) and Hiroaki Wagatsuma (Kyushu Institute of Technology), neuromorphic and brain-based robotics have enormous potential for furthering our understanding of the brain. Recent trends of the artificial intelligence technology have also largely been influenced by brain-inspired mechanisms, such as neural network models. Brain-inspired intelligence and robotics is an approach to elucidate the mystery of how animals and humans originally have a high level of competency, known as intelligence, and extract computational theories, algorithms and implementation methods to apply actual machines working with humans cooperatively.
In this lecture series on brain-inspired intelligence and robotics, ways of thinking of those issues and methods on mathematics and engineering to tackle them will be introduced briefly in individual lectures. You can open a new door to understand the importance of the interdisciplinary research fields to bridge brain science and robotics.
