[Synapse elist] Robotics: welcome to new guests

[Shuhei Miyashita]

Hello everyone,
nice to talk to you, my name is Shuhei Miyashita,
a roboticist working on self-assembly robots.
I enjoy the topics and feel excited to discuss with you.

My robot is so to say, 3cm-size floating bumping cars, which can
self-assemble on a water surface.
So CA, Life game, such a ALife-related work also sound familiar to me.

My major was Electrical and Electronics Engineer and I was educated
(in Tokyotech) by Professor Satoshi Murata, who is a specialist of
developing modular robots.

Currently I am working on building such self-assembly robots under a
supervision of Prof. Rolf Pfeifer in Artificial Intelligence Lab,
University of Zurich.

I hope I can introduce some issues from different angles,
as engineer, as Japanese, or as in a different generation(?)
in parallel to having fun listening to different perspectives.

Looking forward to the discussion!


Shuhei
