Understanding Human Psychology Through Robots with Prof. Angelo Cangelosi: Connecting concepts between robotics and biol

The video explores the integration of biological and psychological concepts into robotics, focusing on cognitive robotics. It discusses how human cognition, particularly visual processing, informs the design of convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The hierarchical nature of human vision is paralleled in CNNs, which use filters and kernels to process images. The video also covers the design and functionality of CNNs, emphasizing their basis in human vision systems. Finally, it highlights applications in computer vision, using brain-inspired features for feature extraction and pattern recognition.
