Professor
Takashi Morie
Lecture: Introduction to AI & Robotics
Comprehensive Practicum: @Home Service Robot Manufacturing
The first half of the class “Introduction to Robotics” provides students with the opportunity to learn mainly practical and general knowledge about robotics. We help students acquire a broader knowledge related to robotics by inviting instructors from companies such as Yaskawa Electric Corporation and TOTO Co., Ltd. In the second half of this class, students obtain basic knowledge about artificial intelligence (AI) through various topics.

Associate Professor
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.

Development of "Partner Robots" to assist in human activities
Kyushu Institute of Technology
Graduate School of Life Science and Systems Engineering
Associate Professor
Hakaru Tamukoh
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.

Associate Professor
Shuichi Enokida
Lecture: Video Image Processing
Comprehensive Practicum: Recognition Programming
This lecture provides students with the opportunity to know what kind of information can be extracted when receiving images in chronological order using the keywords, “motion sensing, object tracking, and motion recovery”. In the recognition programming practicum, students can create data distribution systems to integrate traffic situation recognition results from image processing car-by-car (e.g. traffic jam situation or traffic accident situation) with server by communications between a camera-equipped in-vehicle tablet device and a server.
