Kobayashi and Hayakawa Laboratory

Learning and Sensor Information Processing for Intelligent Robots

In this laboratory, we are conducting research on recognition, motion generation and control, and sensor information processing (image processing) for intelligent robots. The basic techniques for our research are

• Image processing : Technology to realize the function of the human eye with computers
• Control and learning : Technology to move or maintain an object in a desired state, and technology to deal with an uncertain or unknown object based on experienced information
• Mechatronics: Technology that integrates mechanical and electronic engineering and uses computers to control machines

Recent Research

Development of a motor learning model that can explain the reuse of partially acquired motor skills in the past.

We are developing a motor learning model that explains the process of reusing partial dynamics in previously acquired controllers by introducing a mechanism called "transformation estimation between mappings" into the motor learning model that estimates dependencies between various senses.

Automatic Generation of Control Rules for Musculoskeletal Arm Systems Based on the Estimation of Dependencies between Heterogeneous Sensors

We are developing a method for motion control that includes the process of identifying dependencies between different sensors and estimating "which sensor information can be used to achieve the desired control", considering a system that can perform redundant and multimodal sensing.

Bowling tournament after-party

We held an after-party following the bowling tournament. It was a great opportunity to talk with members of other labs whom we don’t usually get to interact with. Just be careful not to drink too much…!
