چکیده
We implemented a large-scale cerebellar cortical model composed of more than 100,000 spiking neuron units on a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). We carried out computer simulations of the model in realtime. We adopted the model to online learning of timing for a humanoid robot.

Realtime cerebellum: A large-scale spiking network model of the cerebellum that runs in realtime using a graphics processing unit
The cerebellum plays an essential role in adaptive motor control. Once we are able to build a cerebellar model that runs in realtime, which means that a computer simulation of 1 s in the simulated world completes within 1 s in the real world, the cerebellar model could be used as a realtime adaptive neural controller for physical hardware such as humanoid robots. In this paper, we introduce "Re...
متن کاملA Scalable Neuro-inspired Robot Controller Integrating a Machine Learning Algorithm and a Spiking Cerebellar-Like Network
Combining Fable robot, a modular robot, with a neuroinspired controller, we present the proof of principle of a system that can scale to several neurally controlled compliant modules. The motor control and learning of a robot module are carried out by a Unit Learning Machine (ULM) that embeds the Locally Weighted Projection Regression algorithm (LWPR) and a spiking cerebellar-like microcircuit....

TThe uncertainty estimation and compensation are challenging problems for the robust control of robot manipulators which are complex systems. This paper presents a novel decentralized model-free robust controller for electrically driven robot manipulators. As a novelty, the proposed controller employs a simple Gaussian Radial-Basis-Function Network as an uncertainty estimator. The proposed netw...

The arrival of graphics processing (GPU) cards suitable for massively parallel computing promises affordable large-scale neural network simulation previously only available at supercomputing facilities. While the raw numbers suggest that GPUs may outperform CPUs by at least an order of magnitude, the challenge is to develop fine-grained parallel algorithms to fully exploit the particulars of GP...
متن کاملA real-time spiking cerebellum model for learning robot control
We describe a neural network model of the cerebellum based on integrate-and-fire spiking neurons with conductance-based synapses. The neuron characteristics are derived from our earlier detailed models of the different cerebellar neurons. We tested the cerebellum model in a real-time control application with a robotic platform. Delays were introduced in the different sensorimotor pathways accor...
