I. Introduction of AI Artificial Intelligence Specialty in Japan
Compared with American artificial intelligence, Japanese AI is more application-oriented. As an irreplaceable important equipment and means in advanced manufacturing industry, industrial robot has become one of the important symbols to measure the manufacturing level and scientific and technological level of a country. According to relevant statistics, industrial robots are mainly used in automobile industry and auto parts industry, accounting for 6 1% of the whole robot market, 8% in metal products industry, 7% in rubber and plastic industry and electronic and electrical industry respectively, 2% in food industry and 15% in other industries. If you can become a Japanese student studying AI artificial intelligence, you will definitely stand out in the talent market in the future. Taking robotics as an example, Japan's professional level is far ahead in the world, and the future development of this field must be immeasurable.
AI artificial intelligence major, known as "knowledge" in Japanese universities, is usually affiliated to the Information Engineering Research Department. There are many institutions offering this major in Japan, among which Osaka University and Waseda University are the most famous.
Osaka University is particularly strong in artificial intelligence. In 20 10, the Institute of Intelligent Robots of Osaka University, under the leadership of Director Shi Heihao, developed a female robot that can imitate human expressions. The robot named "GeminoidTMF" is based on a young Japanese woman. When sitting, the height is 140 cm and the weight is about 30 kg. 20 14 On May 5th, Osaka Institute of Intelligent Robots developed an intelligent robot. The robot has a very realistic appearance, which can complete actions such as nodding and blinking, and can also have simple conversations.
As early as 1973, Waseda University launched a robot named WABOT 1. The robot is about 2 meters tall and weighs 160 kg. The whole body has 26 joints, and the hands are also equipped with tactile sensors.
Professor Ichiro Kato, the "father of Japanese robots", is a pioneer in the research of biped walking robots. In 1970s, he developed a lower limb robot driven by artificial muscles, and in 1990s, he developed WL series lower limb robots driven by hydraulic and electric motors. In the 1990s, the wabian series began to anthropomorphize the upper limbs, and Haruko Takashi's laboratory was a continuation of the original Kato laboratory.
Shi Heihao, a professor at the Japan Institute of Artificial Intelligence at Osaka University, once said that in the future, we will be more and more integrated with robots. The wide application of humanoid robots makes us more thoroughly realize the meaning of human life, and they will teach human beings to know themselves better. I believe there will be a robot society in the near future, which can realize human-computer interaction. The most important thing is that our society will become more and more convenient and we will be more and more integrated with robots.
