Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The cerebellum is crucially involved in motor control and learning. Its neuronal network architecture and firing properties of the neuron types constituting the cerebellar cortical network have been identified by anatomical and physiological studies for the past four decades. Several artificial cerebellums, namely mathematical models of the cerebellum, have been constructed by referring to such anatomical/physiological evidence to understand neural basis of motor control and learning, envisioning applications to real-world robotics. One of the distinctive characteristics of the cerebellum is a large number of neurons forming the neural network. Thus, simulating a realistic artificial cerebellum requires abundant computational power and resources, and running it in realtime for real-world robotics applications is quite challenging. In this study, we implemented an artificial cerebellum on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) that is characterized as compact, lightweight, low power consumption, and parallel computing. We applied this FPGA artificial cerebellum to real-world adaptive control of a direct-current motor as a simple example, and demonstrated its effectiveness in comparison with an ordinary feedback controller.
