Gordon Cheng has made pioneering contributions in #Humanoid #Robotics, #Neuroengineering, #Artificial Intelligence for the past 20 years. Since 2010, holds the Chair for Cognitive Systems, he is the Founder and Director of the Institute for Cognitive Systems, Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Technical University of Munich, Munich/Germany. He is also the Head of the CoC for Neuro-Engineering - Center of Competence Neuro-Engineering in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Gordon is the Program Director of the Elite Master of Science program in Neuroengineering (MSNE) of the Elite Network of Bavaria. Formerly, he was the Head of the Department of Humanoid Robotics and Computational Neuroscience, ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories, Kyoto, Japan. He was the Group Leader for the JST International Cooperative Research Project (ICORP), Computational Brain. He has also been designated as a Project Leader/Research Expert for the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) of Japan. He is involved in a large number of major European Union Projects (e.g. RoboCub, Factory-in-a-Day, CONTEST-ITN, RoboCom-Flagship). Gordon Cheng started his first successful company specialising in networking and logistics in his 90s at the beginning of the internet era. Gordon Cheng is the co-inventor of approximately 20 patents and author/co-authored more than 400 technical publications, proceedings, editorials, and book chapters. His research over the past 20 years has been bridging several research domains, the most important ones being AI, Neuroengineering, and robotics. He has also been acknowledged by the IEEE, when being named IEEE Fellow in 2017 for his“contributions in humanoid robotic systems and neurorobotics”.
