Intelligent Systems Lab Presentation – Summarising of his PhD experiments (by Tang)

(16/2/2016)

Tang is finalising on his PhD thesis by adding some extra experiments to his work based on suggestion from the Pre-Submission panels. Today, he took the chance of our biweekly presentation to share with us his experiment results. Tang's co-supervisors from Japan has joined the seminar through tele-conference too.

Tang research is focusing on the NLP for the elderly people. He proposed a model based on the working memory of human brain and he implemented the model into a talking robot - the Nao robot. Nao is a little humanoid robot (more from the link) that has video, audio and haptic sensors to interact with people.

Due to confidentiality of the work, most of the sharing are not to be mentioned here. So what have I learned from the session? One important thing that I picked up from the conversation between Tang and the Professors from Japan - there are deeper layers of thinking into even a tiny matter in research. We have to question everything, try not to ignore any of them, as they might bring us closer to the interpretation of our findings.
