Modelling of Learning

NEUROCYBERNETICS

Our group pushes forward embodiment and bio-inspiration toward cognitive and social robots, autonomous and embodied AI. We investigate biological models for human-level cognition and interact with developmental psychologists and neuroscientists.

Cognitive and Bio-inspired AI&Robotics

Our research is organized around five themes: BRAIN modeling, AUTONOMOUS control, COGnitive robotics, HEALTH robot caregiver and modeling, BODY bio-inspiration for robotics & AI.

Our group currently comprises 14 permanent members, 1 postdoctoral fellow and 13 PhD students.
