Robots That Think Fast and Slow: An Example of Throwing the Ball Into the Basket

Abstract

Can a robot think like a human being? Scientists in recent years have been trying to achieve this dream, and we are also committed to this same goal. In this paper, we use an example of throwing the ball into the basket to make the robots process with human-like thinking behavior. Such thinking behavior adopted in this paper is divided into two modes: fast and slow. The fast mode belongs to the intuitional reaction, and the slow mode represents the complicated cogitation in human brain. This fascinating human thinking concept is inspired by the book, Thinking, Fast and Slow, which explains the process of the human brain. In addition, the psychology theories proposed in this book are also adopted to realize the thinking algorithms, and our experiments verify that the thinking mode of human beings is reasonable and effective in robots.

Deep Belief Network–Based Learning Algorithm for Humanoid Robot in a Pitching Game

“…In the experiments conducted in [5], basketball shooting was performed using a fixed location as the target. Thus, learning was only required for a single target point; this can be achieved in System 1 using curve fitting.…”

“…In the previous research, a basic cognition learning algorithm framework for a humanoid robot [5] is also proposed. Advantages of the rapid progression of the processing ability of computers and the reduction in the size and weight of hardware devices allowed us to design a teen-sized humanoid robot that has a more multifunctional body and has a more intelligent brain compared with previous robots.…”

Adoption of Machine Learning Algorithm-Based Intelligent Basketball Training Robot in Athlete Injury Prevention

“…Basketball increases the risk of injury due to the high intensity and high-speed collisions between players in the sport. Especially, excessive use of joints, muscles, and ligaments will lead to joint sprains and muscle strains (Li et al, 2016 ). Sports injuries not only damage the physical and mental health of individual athletes, but also affect their competitive ability and restrict the development of the whole team (Li et al, 2019 ).…”
