The Neurorobotics Platform of the Human Brain Project

چکیده
The aim of the neurorobotics platform of the Human Brain Project (HBP) is to offer scientists from various fields a software and hardware infrastructure that allows them to connect brain models to detailed simulations of robot bodies and environments. In the ramp-up phase of the HBP a first version of this platform has been developed, which allows researchers to design and run simple experiments in cognitive neuroscience using simulated robots and simulated environments linked to simplified versions of HBP brain models. The developed tools, i.e., various designers, simulation engines and simulation viewers, allow researchers to operate robots remotely, to repeat in-silico experiments and to visualize the behavior of the robots in real-time. Together with five other ICT platforms developed in the HBP, these technologies will also enable the development of brain-inspired computing systems. The first version of this platform has been released March 2016 and is described in this contribution.

The Human Brain Project: Chances and Challenges for Computer Science
Recently, the European Commission selected the Human Brain Project (HBP) as one of two Flagship projects, each receiving a prospected funding of 1 billion euro. The Human Brain Project builds on the foundations of the Blue Brain Project which was established in 2005 with the mission to integrate anatomical, electrophysiological and genetic data into a unified model of the neocortical column. Ov...
متن کاملNEUROROBOTICS: A STRATEGIC PILLAR OF THE HUMAN BRAIN PROJECT 25 Neurorobotics: A strategic pillar of the Human Brain Project
Neurorobotics is an emerging science that studies the interaction of brain, body, and environment in closed perception–action loops where a robot’s actions affect its future sensory input. At the core of this field are robots controlled by simulated nervous systems that model the structure and function of biological brains at varying levels of detail (1). In a typical neurorobotics experiment, ...
متن کاملConnecting Artificial Brains to Robots in a Comprehensive Simulation Framework: The Neurorobotics Platform
Combined efforts in the fields of neuroscience, computer science, and biology allowed to design biologically realistic models of the brain based on spiking neural networks. For a proper validation of these models, an embodiment in a dynamic and rich sensory environment, where the model is exposed to a realistic sensory-motor task, is needed. Due to the complexity of these brain models that, at ...
متن کاملExperiences with Model-Driven Engineering in Neurorobotics
Model-driven engineering (MDE) has been successfully adopted in domains such as automation or embedded systems. However, in many other domains, MDE is rarely applied. In this paper, we describe our experiences of applying MDE techniques in the domain of neurorobotics – a combination of neuroscience and robotics, studying the embodiment of autonomous neural systems. In particular, we participate...
