Make human society comfortable, safe and secure by sensing and robot technologies

It is important to combine sensing, information/communication, robot, and virtual reality (VR) technologies for innovations in living and production environments. We will present the ideal form of an innovative sensor-based information network system and an ideal environment embedded with robot and VR technologies, and we will contribute to the realization of a safe, secure, and comfortable living environment/production site. For this purpose, we are developing nano/microsensing devices with new detection principles that can be incorporated into mobile information terminals and wearable devices. We are also developing environmentally distributed robot systems and VR technologies using multi-modal interactions that observe people and the environment using new sensing technologies. We will also deploy our technologies into human living spaces and production sites, conducting research to acquire and analyze real environmental and human-activity data and to induce humans to more safe and comfortable status eventually.
