Associate Professor Gon Tamukai of the Graduate School of Biophysical Engineering, Kyushu Institute of Technology and Sec (President, Hisashi Akiyama, Tokyo) will start joint research on the circuitization of intelligent processing and its application to robot platforms.In order to apply artificial intelligence (AI) technology to service robots, the aim is to solve hardware issues.
According to SEC, the current AI technology has progressed mainly through research in the information processing field, so large-scale computer resources such as CPU and memory are required for AI operation. When applying AI to service robots, there are major hardware issues such as low power consumption, low heat dissipation, and miniaturization of the platform on which AI operates while maintaining the high-speed processing performance of AI. Remains.
A possible way to solve this is to create a circuit for intelligent processing.It is expected that the application of AI to robots will become easier and the fusion of AI and robots will progress by making this circuitized intelligent processing into a platform.
Associate Professor Tamukai is researching the development of "brain-type computers" that will lead the semiconductor, information and communication technology (ICT), and robot industries, and is conducting joint research with SEC with the aim of circuitizing intelligent processing and applying it to robot platforms. I was supposed to enter.
