Research fields

　With the recent proliferation of easy-to-use elemental technologies of AI, IoT, Robot, and 3DVR, I believe that rapid research and development in which researchers and developers visit the field, analyze problems, clarify needs, repeat prototyping in cooperation with field workers, and implement in the field at a level up to associate products will be emphasized. For this reason, I am conducting joint research with medical researchers, nursing researchers, physical therapy researchers, brain scientists, veterinary researchers, sports scientists, food science researchers, agricultural researchers, special needs educators, elementary and junior high school teachers, people involved in smart agriculture, people involved in food factories, and others to conduct a wide range of R&D on the use of AI, IoT, robots, 3DVR We are conducting a wide range of research and development on the use of AI, IoT, Robot, and 3DVR.

　Specifically, we are working hard on system development and field verification together with field workers and experts, with a focus on the following items. In other words, we are conducting research activities to obtain knowledge that will contribute to the development of new products and businesses of our joint research partners by conducting PoC more than any other companies.

IoT for environmental measurement and control, AI-IoT fr growth survey, and harvesting and transportation robots in farms

Cooperative robot (6-axis arm) system in a food factory

3DSLAM unmanned transport vehicle in a factory

AI application (camera image analysis: deep learning)/3DVR rehabilitation system with physical therapy researchers

3DVR/AR system for practical training with a nursing researcher

AI application (ChapGPT, etc.) / 3DVR system for learning support in elementary and junior high schools with a pedagogy researcher

　We also focus on human resource development, especially for those who wish to enter a doctoral course, and have a unique laboratory system that enables them to gain social experience and living expenses support through involvement in companies and joint research.
