Hibikino-Musashi@Home, supervised by the vice director Prof. Tamukoh, participated in the RoboCup Japan Open 2021 @Home Open Platform League (OPL) held on March 22nd-23rd and won 2nd place in the championship.
In @Home Open Platform League, participants use their original robots. The competition consisted of a Basic Functionality where basic functions of robots are evaluated, a Tidy Up task where robots clean up cluttered rooms, and a Technical Challenge where teams show their unique research results and their robot demonstrations. Hibikino-Musashi@Home won the Technical Challenge and won 2nd place totally.
Hibikino-Musashi@Home, supervised by the vice director Prof. Tamukoh, participated in the RoboCup Japan Open 2021 @Home Domestic Standard Platform League held on March 9th-12th and won the championship.
In @Home Domestic Standard Platform League, HSRs (Human Support Robots) developed by Toyota Motor Corporation are used as standard platforms and participants implement their software under the same hardware conditions. The competition consisted of a Tidy Up task where robots clean up cluttered rooms and a Technical Challenge where teams show their unique research results and their robot demonstrations. Hibikino-Musashi@Home won both competitions.
On February 24th, a paper entitled “Inter-element miscibility driven stabilization of ordered pseudo-binary alloy” submitted by a research group of Prof. Horibe with Kyoto University was published in the academic journal “Nature Communications.” The journal is open access and can be viewed from the link below.
On January 28th, our research with Osaka University and UCLA (published in Advanced Intelligent Systems) was introduced in AI Japan.
On January 4th (JST), a paper entitled “Emergence of In-Materio Intelligence from an Incidental Structure of a Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube–Porphyrin Polyoxometalate Random Network” submitted by a research group of this center, Osaka University, and UCLA was published in the academic journal “Advanced Intelligent Systems.” The journal is open access and can be viewed from the link below.
The paper related to the collaborative research with Osaka University and Twente University was selected as a frontispiece of Advanced Materials.
Hibikino-Musashi@Home supervised by Prof. Tamukoh (Vice Director) participated in RoboCup Asia-Pacific 2021 Aichi held from Nov. 25 to Nov. 28 and won @Home Open Platform League 1st place, @Home Domestic Standard Platform 1st place, and @Home Simulation DSPL 1st place.
On November 18th, a paper of joint research by Neumorph Center and Future University Hakodate submitted to 2021 International Symposium on Information Processing and Communication Systems (ISPACS 2021) won the Best Student Paper Award.
On September 25th, the honorary degree was given to the dean of the center, Prof. Hirofumi Tanaka by Suranaree University of Technology in Thailand.
