Based on “Cognitive Development Robotics Study” and “Deep Learning Technique”, we are promoting “Motion Learning Using Visual and Force Tactile Processing”, “Speech and Environmental Sound Recognition” and “Grounding of Symbols and Languages” for AI robots. We are also working to resolve the ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) that can arise in social implementation. 

 We are tackling the following four themes based on “Cognitive Developmental Robotics” study and “Deep Learning” technology.

• Motion learning based on visual and haptic sensing by AI robots
• Speech and environmental sound recognition in AI robots
• Symbol Emergence and Grounding by AI Robot
• Solving Social Problems in Social Implementation of AI Robots

Motion learning based on visual and haptic sensing by AI robots

• Dextrous manipulations of soft materials, powders, and liquids by deep learning
• Full-body motion learning of humanoid robots by deep learning
• Cognitive development robotics based on AI robots

Speech and environmental sound recognition in AI robots

• Speech localization, separation and recognition by deep learning
• Motion generation using environmental sound recognition by deep learning
• Music information processing by deep learning and human robot interaction

Symbol Emergence and Grounding by AI Robot

• Emergence of symbolic representation from real sensory-motor data by deep learning
• Grounding symbol/language and real world by deep learning
• Language communication between AI robots and humans

Solving Social Problems in Social Implementation of AI Robots

• Discussions on user information management and fairness in introducing AI robots
• Creating new market value through the introduction of AI robots
• Responsibilities for introducing AI robots
