Multifunctional physical reservoir computing in soft tensegrity robots
Ryo Terajima, Katsuma Inoue, Kohei Nakajima +1
Recent studies have demonstrated that the dynamics of physical systems can be utilized for the desired information processing under the framework of physical reservoir computing (P…
Haptic Perception via the Dynamics of Flexible Body Inspired by an Ostrich's Neck
Kazashi Nakano, Katsuma Inoue, Yasuo Kuniyoshi +1
In biological systems, both skin sensitivity and body flexibility play crucial roles in haptic perception. Fully soft robots often suffer from structural fragility and delayed sens…
Backpropagation through Soft Body: Investigating Information Processing in Brain-Body Coupling Systems
Hiroki Tomioka, Katsuma Inoue, Yasuo Kuniyoshi +1
Animals achieve sophisticated behavioral control through dynamic coupling of the brain, body, and environment. Accordingly, the co-design approach, in which both the controllers an…
Training Spiking Neural Networks via Augmented Direct Feedback Alignment
Yongbo Zhang, Katsuma Inoue, Mitsumasa Nakajima +3
Spiking neural networks (SNNs), the models inspired by the mechanisms of real neurons in the brain, transmit and represent information by employing discrete action potentials or sp…
