 Masahiro
Fujita received a B.A. degree in Electronics and Communications from
the Waseda University, Tokyo, in 1981, and an M.S.E.E. degree from
University of California, Irvine, in 1989.
He joined Sony Corporation in 1981, and worked for development of
a spread spectrum communication system, which was used as global positioning
system for a car navigation, and as VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometetry)
for a earth quake forecast system. From 1988, he became a graduate
student of University of California, Irvine, and studied artificial
neural network for visual perception. After he returned to Sony, he
started Robot Entertainment project from 1993, and developed entertainment
robot AIBO, which was started to sell in 1999. After the AIBO project,
he has been in charge of development for cognitive part of a small
humanoid robot QRIO. In 1998 he proposed to establish RoboCup four-legged
robot league using AIBO as platform, which has been one of 4 official
physical robot leagues in RoboCup.
He is now a general manager of Intelligent Systems Research Laboratory
and Motion Dynamics Research Laboratory at Information Technologies
Laboratories, which is one of corporate laboratories in Sony Corporation.
As an addition post, he became a director of Sony Intelligence Dynamics
Laboratories Inc. (SIDL), which was newly established in July 2004.
At SIDL he is in charge of establishment Intelligence Dynamics, which
is a new approach of studies for intelligence, aiming at realizing
emergence of intelligence with emphasizing embodiment and dynamics.

The goal of
my research is to understand the dynamical foundations of infant
acting and perceiving, so that this knowledge can be applied to
helping infants with clinical disorders such as prematurity, congenital
heart defects, genetic defects (such as velocardiofacial syndrome)
and cerebral palsy. For example, I have recently used principles
of coordination from dynamical systems to develop and build a computer-controlled
milk bottle for infants with feeding problems.

Karmiloff-Smith is Professor and Head of the Neurocognitive Development
Unit at the Institute of Child Health in London where she runs a research
team looking into infant and child development. She has a "Doctorat
en Psychologie Génétique et Expérimentale"
from the University of Geneva, where she studied with the famous Swiss
psychologist, Jean Piaget. She has been elected a Member of the Academia
Europaea, a Fellow of the British Academy, and a Fellow of the Academy
of Medical Sciences. Recently she was awarded a CBE in the Queen's
Birthday Honours List. In 1995, she was awarded the British Psychological
Society's Book Award for Beyond Modularity: A developmental perspective
on cognitive science (MIT Press, 1992). Her co-authored book,
Rethinking Innateness: A Connectionist Perspective on Development,
(MIT Press, 1996) was nominated for the 1997 American Psychological
Association Eleanor Maccoby Prize. A book for the general public,
Everything your baby would ask if only he or she could speak
(Cassell/Ward Lock, 1998) co-authored with her daughter, Kyra Karmiloff,
was No.2 on the American List of Best Parenting Books. She recently
published, again with her daughter, "Pathways to Language: From
foetus to adolescent" with Harvard University Press. In 2002
she won the European Science Foundation Latsis Prize for the Cognitive
Sciences and was awarded an honorary doctorate from the Université
de Louvain in Belgium. She is the author of 7 books and of some 200
chapters and articles in scientific journals, as well as a series
of booklets for parents on different aspects of foetal, infant and
child development. Her writings have been translated into Japanese,
Chinese, Italian, Spanish, French, Greek, Hungarian, Russian, Polish,
Lithuanian, Estonian, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Arabic and Hebrew.

My research
focuses on the construction of humanoid robots that use normal social
cues to interact with people. I'm interested in using robots as
a tool for investigating models of child development, human cognition,
and social deficits in autism. I believe that one of the best ways
to understand human intelligence is to attempt to build a similar
intelligence in a machine.
At Yale, we are currently constructing two humanoid robots. The
first of these robots is being based on the body structure of a
two-year-old child and will be used to study the development of
object concepts and basic hand-eye coordination skills. The second
robot will be used in a clinical setting to assist in the diagnosis
and treatment of autism and related pervasive developmental disorders
(this project is a collaboration with the Yale Child Study Center.)
Before arriving at Yale, my research focused on the construction
of a humanoid robot named Cog under the direction of Rodney A. Brooks.
My dissertation work focused on building foundations of a theory
of mind for Cog. This included building systems that represent a
"naive physics" that distinguish animate from inanimate
stimuli, an "intuitive psychology" that attributes intent
and goals, and systems that engage in joint reference such as making
eye contact. These systems are based on models of social skill development
in children and models of autism. The best way to learn more about
this project is to read the proposal for my dissertation.
I also worked with a robot with facial expressions called Kismet
and on Cog's new head, which is being tested on a development platform
called Lazlo. Both robots are designed to exploit social interactions
with people, and for exploring just how much a robot can learn when
placed in a supportive learning environment. We are hoping to study
imitative social learning with all of our robots.
I also maintain a web site and mailing list on biorobotics.
