Studying robots and avatars that support people
The Multimedia Agent Lab studies agents that interact with people through various senses such as sight, hearing, and touch, and support them both informationally and physically.
Such agents are called multimedia agents.
The lab carries out broad research and development on the core technologies of robots and avatars, on technologies for interaction with people, and on advanced applications in the real world.
In the Department of Multimedia Engineering, Graduate School of Information Science, the lab is introduced as a collaborative chair with the Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International (ATR).
