Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we focused on properties of the real world, and we proposed a framework to realize adaptive behavior of a robot using properties of the real world.
We developed a soft multi-legged robot based on the proposed framework, and we demonstrated that the developed robot could obtain locomotion patterns for given environments using reinforcement learning. We also confirmed that the obtained policy to realize the locomotion pattern is generalized and is applicable for other similar environments without additional learning.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

従来の「汎化とは多数の情報や経験を統計的に処理して共通の性質を抜き出すこと」という枠組みに対する対案として,「実世界の性質を利用して様々な状況に適応可能な身体を構成すること」という新しい枠組みを提案した点において学術的意義は大きい.
また,実際のロボットを用いてその有用性を検証しており,この技術は,今後,災害対応や,インフラ点検,農林業など,複雑な未知環境で働くロボットを実現する上での基礎となり,社会的貢献も大きいと考えられる.
