Give form to your ideas with like-minded people
SUGEE Osaka is aiming to create SUGEE moments where ambitious ideas are realized. There are a lot of people in Osaka or Kansai area in Japan who have unique ideas and are thinking about how to realize them, however, because of the lack of English information or opportunities, most of such people cannot get enough support for actualizing it.
SUGEE Meetup connects you with such people and provides learning & co-creating opportunities for idea-forming.
In this time, our theme is “Application of Machine Learning and Cognitive Neuroscience to Brain-Controlled Robotics”.
Today, Machine Learning is one of the most attractive technologies for people who are thinking about creating innovative ideas. In fact, various uses of Machine Learning has been tried for several years.
In this meetup, we invite Dr. Christian Penaloza, Managing director of Mirai Innovation Research Institute Japan, and think about how to make use of Machine Learning and Cognitive Neuroscience technologies to realize unique ideas.
