AboutAbout the lab
Connecting beyond boundaries
Saruwatari Lab (Cyber-Physical Networking Lab) explores the convergence of the physical world and cyberspace through advanced networking technologies.
By integrating sensing, communication, and AI, the lab creates foundational technologies that support a smarter, more closely connected future society.
Going beyond simple data communication, the lab aims to build networks that understand the environment and human behavior, and that naturally connect people, things, and spaces.
Key terms
- XR
- A collective term for VR, AR, and MR.
- IoT/M2M
- A term for the field in which things such as drones, self-driving cars, and humanoids connect to networks
ResearchResearch themes
Saruwatari Lab explores advanced networking technologies that integrate sensing, communication, and AI to merge the physical world and cyberspace. The lab aims to realize networks that understand the environment and human behavior, and that naturally connect people, things, and spaces.
*Illustrative imageXR (VR, AR, and MR)
For XR, which combines VR, AR, and MR, the lab poses two questions: can cyberspace be made to feel like physical space, or can physical space be transformed to be like cyberspace?
*Illustrative imageIoT, M2M, and Robots
The lab believes that robots, such as drones, self-driving cars, and humanoids, will be the next things to connect to the network. It also sets the goal of building the "Microbot" from the movie Big Hero 6.
*Illustrative imageB5G and 6G
Under the B5G and 6G category, the lab holds the view that mobile phones and Wi-Fi can evolve much further.
