Biorobootika keskuse diskussiooniõhtu, Tallinn, 5.05.2010

TTÜ Biorobootika Keskuses Akadeemia 15A-111 on täna 5. mail kell 16.00 kaks külalist ja toimub ettekande ja diskussiooniõhtu teemadel
– Spiking Neural Networks – Toomas Kirt ja
– Reward System and Dopamine – Andrea Soltoggio, kes räägib tema poolt juhitavast projektist Adaptive Modular Architectures for Rich Motor Skills (AMARSi)
Andrea Soltoggio tutvustuseks:
Andrea Soltoggio holds a MSc in Computer Engineering from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and a MSc from
Politecnico di Milano. He obtained a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Birmingham, UK, in 2008. During his markedly
international career, he has worked in the field of control systems, volutionary computation, robotics, neural models of learning and
reward. He is now a senior researcher with the Research Institute for Cognition and Robotics (CoR-Lab) in Bielefeld, Germany, where he also
coordinates the EU Large Scale Integration Project AMARSi (Adaptive Modular Architectures for Rich Motor Skills). Further information on
his webpage http://andrea.soltoggio.net/work/
Ta juhib ühtlasi projekti Adaptive Modular Architectures for Rich Motor Skills (AMARSi)
The EU FP7 AMARSi project is a large scale integration project that aims at achieving rich motor skills in robots. Human motor primitives are studied to achieve similar dynamics in robots with compliant mechanics and morphological computation. Adaptive modules with learning principles will be combined in control architectures at
different cognitive levels. The results will be demonstrated on the uadruped Cheetah and on the humanoid iCub robot. More on http://amarsi.soltoggio.net/
