人类和机器人能成为朋友吗?
在2012年的电影《机器人与弗兰克》中,主人公弗兰克是一名“前窃贼”,步入老年的他开始有了轻微的老年痴呆症状。他的儿子既担心又内疚,给他买了一个“家庭机器人”,可以陪他说话,帮他做各种家务,提醒他按时吃药。这种机器人正是现实生活中科学家们接近于打造的类型。
I am a Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Sheffield, Director of the Sheffield Centre for Robotics (SCentRo), Director of the Active Touch Laboratory, Co-Director of the Adaptive Behaviour Research Group and a Visiting Fellow at Bristol Robotics Laboratory.
My research is concerned with understanding brain function using methods in the computational, neural, and behavioural sciences. An important focus of is on comparing the control problems faced by animals and robots: (i) using insights from robotics and artificial intelligence to understand the control architecture of the brain, (ii) using evidence from brain evolution to inspire the design of robot control systems, and (iii) using robots to evaluate computational models of neural systems and to test hypotheses that are difficult to investigate in vivo.
