    Title: Integrated Cognitive Model for Developing User-Friendly Robots

    Abstract : There are many things that are not yet fully understood regarding the mechanism of human intelligence. Therefore, realization of real human-like artificial intelligence is not an easy task. However, technological progress of AI and robotics in recent years is gradually pushing this forward. Our group is interested in how such human-like intelligence can be realized by combining machine learning and robot technologies. An important element among them is prediction, and it is an important viewpoint how to self-organize multimodal information and apply it to the decision-making. In this talk, I introduce some of our projects and discuss the relationship among these projects and challenges for developing user-friendly robots.
