The study of Embodied Intelligence is the study of how
intelligence emerges as a result of sensorimotor activity, constrained
by the physical body and mental developmental program.
Evidence of biological mental development suggests
that an active body is
indispensable for acquisition of non-artificial intelligence. Our
research areas
include,
but not limited to: biologically
motivated models of cognition, learning, reasoning, decision making,
and development; brain-based modeling of vision and attention; image
and signal
processing; machine learning; pattern recognition; human-computer
interactions; content-based
information
retrieval; speech recognition; language
processing and understanding; autonomous
navigation; intelligent
robots (construction, control and training).
