DESCRIPTION:Tasks that are difficult for humans are comparativ
 ely easy for robots\, but those easy for humans ar
 e difficult or impossible for robots. This is the 
 so-called Moravec’s paradox which was originally s
 tated a few decades ago\, but robotics today didn’
 t make much progress since then. It’s easier to bu
 ild robots that can fly to Mars autonomously but p
 robably impossible to build a robot that can pick 
 keys out of a tight pocket. The problems of latter
  kinds are often not well defined in terms of stat
 e-action space\, and thus we need some forms of “e
 mergence” in the behaviours. We have been explorin
 g how such robots can be designed and controlled b
 y exploiting embodied intelligence of soft deforma
 ble robots\, which I would like to discuss in this
  seminar.
