VisionVision
We conduct research and development on intelligent agent technologies that are designed to help people in an aging society. We aim to conduct high-impact research through international collaborations. We strive to provide a fulfilling laboratory environment in which everyone can enjoy research activities.
The research projects we are currently focusing on are: (1) Robot Family Systems, which explores new family units composed of humans and agents (such as robots), and (2) Physical AI, which involves researching general-purpose AI models for future Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) applications.
