Comprehensive Practicum: @Home Service Robot Manufacturing
The practicum "@Home Service Robot Manufacturing" aims to develop partner robots to assist in human activities such as housework and nursing care. In this practicum, students may choose a responsible task from image recognition, voice synthesis/recognition, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), arm/wheel control and exterior design. After completion of the selected task, students cooperate with team members and assemble the developed components into the @home-robot, then demonstrate it through actual tasks of RoboCup @Home League.

Hiroaki Wagatsuma
Lecture: Brain-Inspired Robotics and Neural Dynamics, Introduction to AI & Robotics
Comprehensive Practicum: BMI-minirobot development
The brain-inspired lecture provides students with the opportunity to learn basic theories necessary for intelligent robots and to understand its physical and mathematical essence. This encourage students to learn a specific implementation methodology in robot body design, control, and information representation by knowing a relationship between the brain and the body and formulations embedding intelligence into morphology and mechanism.
In the comprehensive practicum, students may control a robot with brain waves (EEG), and have experience an essence of brain-inspired robot design development.
