My Research Topics

Keywords: modular robotics, cooperative robotics, distributed robotics, computational geometry, motion planning, reinforcement learning, MDPs, advanced actuators, aerial robotics...

 

I am now interested in the research of computational geometrical application to robotics. The problem concerns one of the most essential questions, “What is intelligence?”. The ordinary AI based searching method requires exponentially increasing calculation cost for solving the problem managing motions with high degree of freedom. The answer for “How can we reduce such a high calculation cost to practical one?” is in the kinematics of robots. As many previous researches have shown, analysis of the kinematical properties of robots is the gateway to the solution. Such results concur with the idea of embodiment “Intelligence needs a body”. Yes, “robot itself” knows the answer! Now I am looking for the essence of intelligence lying in the kinematics of robots with high degree of freedom.
