The 39th TI-FRIS Hub Meeting / 55th FRIS Hub Meeting (Hybrid event)

TI-FRIS Hub Meetings are held once a month at Tohoku University to foster researchers who understand and can utilize the importance of interdisciplinary research across disciplines and institutions.
 
Common sense and way of thinking cannot be expected among researchers in different fields. The audience is encouraged to ask questions during the presentation to discuss and deepen their understanding. Please participate actively.

 
 
・Date & Time: Every Friday of the month except August (16:00-17:00)
・Target Audience: TI-FRIS Fellows, researchers and students from TI-FRIS participating institutions

Presentation Title：生き物らしい運動知能の設計原理を求めて / Exploring Design Principles for Life-like Locomotor Intelligence
 
Abstract：Locomotion is the most fundamental intelligence of animals, supporting various behaviors essential for survival. For example, animals can escape from predators and search for food by moving across complex environments. Such situation-dependent locomotor abilities are realized through adaptive motor control via dynamic interactions between the nervous system, body, and environment. Extracting the design principles underlying locomotor intelligence in animals could contribute not only to biological understanding but also to the creation of autonomous robots with high survivability. In this presentation, I will introduce my research using centipedes as a model animal and an interdisciplinary approach combining biology, mathematics, and engineering.
