About
Claudio Sousa is a leading researcher in neurorobotics, computational neuroscience, and brain-inspired artificial intelligence. His most influential contribution is the development of the Human Brain Project’s Neurorobotics Platform (NRP), a groundbreaking infrastructure that allows scientists to connect spiking neural networks to virtual and real robots. This platform enables embodiment experiments on high-performance computing clusters, accessible through an intuitive web interface—democratizing complex brain-robot integration for the global research community. With his 2017 paper on the NRP garnering significant attention, Sousa’s work has become a cornerstone for researchers studying how neural dynamics translate into behavior. His achievements have been recognized within the HBP consortium, where his platform has facilitated countless studies on sensorimotor control, learning, and neural coding. By bridging theoretical neuroscience with robotic implementation, Sousa empowers students and researchers to explore how brain-like networks interact with physical environments, opening new frontiers in both understanding biological intelligence and building more adaptive artificial systems.
