Prof. Patrick HENAFF of University of Lorraine (UL) in France stayed in Kyutech for 1 week (June 18th - 24th). This research exchange program was conducted under Erasmus+ Staff Mobility Programme between UL and Kyutech.
Prof. HENAFF gave lectures on "Neural Modelling for Robotics" to Kyutech students, exchanged ideas of joint research, and visited several laboratories of Tobata campus and Wakamatsu campus.
Prof. HENAFF is one of outstanding researchers of humanoid robotics and is very much familier with "Matsuoka Neural Oscillator" known as "Matsuoka Model" which has been introduced by Prof. Kiyotoshi MATSUOKA, an emeritus professor of Kyutech. Through this staff exchange program, both universities have found several research domains to collaborate in near future.
