In recent years, the scope of automated machines has significantly expanded. There is an increasing demand for robots and similar automated machines not only in factories but also in various environments such as our daily living spaces, outdoor urban areas, and disaster sites. These environments are not designed for automated machines. Therefore, automated machines require advanced recognition capabilities to accurately understand surrounding objects and events. Additionally, they need manipulation capabilities to perform useful tasks and secure pathways for movement.
Our laboratory aims to enhance such recognition and manipulation capabilities. To this end, we conduct fundamental research on recognition and manipulation, integrate these elements for practical demonstrations, and study the mechanisms that should be incorporated into automated machines. For more details, please refer to our projects and publications.
