【Aim】 |
The main aim of this lecture is to learn differences in the signal processing
and motion control principles between organisms and modern engineering.
Additionally, we will study how to find useful hints from anatomic and
physiology knowledge that can be applied to modern engineering. For this
purpose, the lecture introduces a method to structure an electrical equivalent
circuit of a neuron, and a learning system model faithful to the neural
network of the brainstem and cerebellum. Finally, we will explain how to
make an ocularmotor system model (based on anatomic structure and physiological
function) and its application to robot eye control.
