NEUROROBOTICS AND THE HUMAN BRAIN PROJECT

Utl.: VORTRAG VON PRIV.-DOZ. DR. FLORIAN RÖHRBEIN =

Wien (OTS) - The HBP is one of two European Flagship projects
dedicated to long-term basic research with a planned funding of 1
billion Euro over 10 years. The ultimate goal is to gain profound
insights into brain functions, develop new treatments for brain
diseases and build entirely new computing technologies. HBP has three
research areas - Neuroscience, Medicine and Future Computing - and
will develop six ICT platforms, dedicated to Neuroinformatics, Brain
Simulation, High Performance Computing, Medical Informatics,
Neuromorphic Computing and Neurorobotics. HBP is completely open,
i.e., these platforms will be made available to all interested
research communities worldwide, enabling them to profit from each
other. Our vision is that interactive supercomputing, driven by the
needs of brain simulation, will impact many industries. Devices and
systems, modelled after the brain, are to overcome current limits on
the energy-efficiency, reliability and programmability, clearing the
road for systems with brain-like intelligence. The Neurorobotics
Platform will offer scientists and technology developers a software
and hardware infrastructure allowing them to connect prevalidated
brain models to detailed simulations of robot bodies and environments
and to use the resulting neurorobotic systems in in-silico
experiments as well as technology development.

In this talk, I will give an overview of the HBP, outline the goals
of the Neurorobotics subproject, and report on our results achieved
in the first year of the project.
