The concept of Embodied Brain-like Intelligence regards intelligence as a system property, i.e. the result of the well-orchestrated interplay of several elements including vision, speech, acting and thinking.

Starting from an architecture inspired from developmental biology and psychology, we equip systems with the ability to autonomously learn and develop in interaction with the natural environment, growing own cognitive abilities based on experience.

One goal is to replace handcrafted design of complex information processing systems by autonomous adaptation and learning for solving specific tasks. The feasibility of the scientific results is shown in the areas of cognitive humanoid robots and intelligent assistant systems, providing practical intelligence for a wide spectrum of future Honda products.

Several achievements have been made. The task and body aware motion control for humanoids is the basis for autonomous motion generation. Motions are not preprogrammed, but generated online for interactive learning without the risk of disastrous self-collisions even on complex humanoid robots.

The task-relevant representations of interaction objects and the learning of visual interaction behaviours are based on a system of general needs, and thus demonstrate how to develop valuable behaviours governed by task-unspecific internal drives. For learning the semantics of language we are currently decomposing auditory streams into their behaviourally relevant elements. Several of these concepts are currently investigated for automobile assistant systems.
