  • towards robot self consciousness i brain inspired robot Mirror neuron system model and its application in Mirror self recognition
    Brain Inspired Cognitive Systems, 2016
    Co-Authors: Yi Zeng, Yuxuan Zhao
    Abstract:

    Mirror Self-Recognition is a well accepted Test to identify whether an animal is with self-consciousness. Mirror neuron system is believed to be one of the most important biological foundation for Mirror Self-Recognition. Inspired by the biological Mirror neuron system of the mammalian brain, we propose a Brain-inspired Robot Mirror Neuron System Model (Robot-MNS-Model) and we apply it to humanoid robots for Mirror self-recognition. This model evaluates the similarity between the actual movements of robots and their visual perceptions. The association for self-recognition is supported by STDP learning which connects the correlated visual perception and motor control. The model is evaluated on self-recognition Mirror Test for 3 humanoid robots. Each robot has to decide which one is itself after a series of random movements facing a Mirror. The results show that with the proposed model, multiple robots can pass the self-recognition Mirror Test at the same time, which is a step forward towards robot self-consciousness.

  • new design of electrostatic Mirror actuators for application in high precision interferometry
    Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2015
    Co-Authors: H Wittel, S Hild, G Bergmann, Karsten Danzmann, K A Strain
    Abstract:

    We describe a new geometry for electrostatic actuators to be used in sensitive laser interferometers, suited for prototype and table top experiments related to gravitational wave detection with Mirrors of 100 g or less. The arrangement consists of two plates at the sides of the Mirror (Test mass), and therefore does not reduce its clear aperture as a conventional electrostatic drive (ESD) would do. Using the sample case of the AEI-10 m prototype interferometer, we investigate the actuation range and the influence of the relative misalignment of the ESD plates with respect to the Test mass. We find that in the case of the AEI-10 m prototype interferometer, this new kind of ESD could provide a range of 0.28 μm when operated at a voltage of 1 kV. In addition, the geometry presented is shown to provide a reduction factor of about 100 in the magnitude of the actuator motion coupling to the Test mass displacement. We show that therefore in the specific case of the AEI-10 m interferometer, it is possible to mount the ESD actuators directly on the optical table without spoiling the seismic isolation performance of the triple stage suspension of the main Test masses.
