Keynote Lecture: Biomimetic Human Simulation With Deep Learning of Neuromuscular and Sensorimotor Control Abstract: Realistic computer simulation of the human body — not just the bones, joints, and muscles, but also the sensory organs and, of course, the brain — is a grand scientific challenge in the quest for artificial intelligence/life. In this context, I will present our advances in biomimetic human simulation and sensorimotor control. Our framework features an unprecedentedly detailed biomechanical human musculoskeletal model actuated by more than 800 muscles, with func-tional eyes whose retinas have numerous nonuniformly-distributed photoreceptors. This bio-inspired perceptual apparatus feeds the sensorimotor center of our virtual human’s brain, which currently incorporates two dozen (deep) neural networks, organized as a neurovisual sensory subsystem that drives a neuromuscular motor subsystem. Synthesizing its own motor and visu-al training data, our autonomous virtual human learns efficient and robust active visuomotor control of its eyes, head, torso, and limbs to perform a variety of nontrivial sensorimotor tasks never previously achieved in realistic biomechanical human simulations or anthropomimetic robotics. Biography: Demetri Terzopoulos is a Distinguished Professor and Chancellor’s Professor of Computer Science at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he directs the UCLA Computer Graphics & Vision Laboratory. He received his PhD degree in Artificial Intelligence from MIT in 1984. He is a Guggenheim Fellow, a Fellow of the ACM, a Life Fellow of the IEEE, a Fellow of the National Academy of Artificial Intelligence, a Fellow of the Royal Society of London and the Royal Society of Canada, and a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering, among other societies internationally. His many awards include an Academy Award for Technical Achievement from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, in addition to the IEEE’s Computer Pioneer Award, Helmholtz Prize, inaugural Marr Prize citation, and inaugural Computer Vision Distinguished Researcher Award. He joined UCLA in 2005 from New York University, where he held the Henry and Lucy Moses Endowed Professorship in Science and was Professor of Computer Science and Mathematics at NYU's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. Previously, he was Professor of Computer Science and Professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto. He is Co-founder and Chief Scientist of VoxelCloud, Inc., a multinational healthcare AI company. |
