The lab measures human states with cameras and radio waves for use in medicine and welfare.
AboutAbout the lab
Cyber-physical systems for medicine and welfare.
The Systems and Control Engineering (Sugita) Lab studies cyber-physical systems that are useful for medicine and welfare.
Its research includes measuring a person's pulse wave with a video camera, and estimating the state of people in a room using radio waves used for communication.
Virtual reality (VR) for medicine and welfare is also one of its research themes.
Key terms
- Cyber-physical system
- A mechanism that collects real-world information with sensors, processes it on computers, and returns the results to the real world
- Video-based pulse wave
- A pulse wave obtained from video camera images (remote photoplethysmography). A pulse wave is a signal representing changes in blood flow that accompany the heartbeat
- VR sickness
- An uncomfortable condition similar to motion sickness that occurs when experiencing VR with a head-mounted display or similar device
ResearchResearch themes
This lab studies technologies that extract information about the human body and its state using cameras, communication radio waves, and similar means, and apply it to medicine and welfare. The themes listed in its research introduction are VR, wearless biosignal measurement, and indoor state estimation using communication radio waves.
*Illustrative imageVR for Medicine and Welfare
The lab studies virtual reality (VR) technology that is useful for medicine and welfare. Aiming for safe and comfortable VR, it also works on reducing the VR sickness that occurs when experiencing VR with head-mounted displays and similar devices.
*Illustrative imageWearless Biosignal Measurement
The lab studies "wearless biosignal measurement," which acquires information about the human body in a completely contactless way. Focusing on pulse wave signals obtained with video cameras (video-based pulse waves), it develops technologies for use in medicine and health management.
Estimating Indoor States with Communication Radio Waves
The lab studies technology that estimates a person's state using the radio waves emitted by wireless communication devices. Applications it cites include recording the activity level of people in a room while protecting their privacy, and automatically detecting where people who need assistance are.
