Japanese combine Fujitsu said it will demonstrate a robot soon which uses configurable neural networks to learn movement and motor coordination.

The firm will demonstrate the system at Robodex 2003 in Yokahama on April 3rd, but it has already shown off the system earlier this month in the Robotica Symposium in Japan.

According to Fujitsu, the system is a breakthrough for humanoid robots and will make generating motion far faster and simpler than before.

The technology uses a central pattern generator (CPG) network to simulate neural oscillators in creatures with spines. It will also use a numerical perturbation method to quantify the configuration and connection weight status of the network.
