Embodied Intelligence Robotics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab exploring the connection between humans and robots through touch and embodiment.
AboutAbout the lab
The fusion of body and intelligence opens new possibilities for robots and communication
The Embodied Intelligence Robotics Lab studies new forms of communication between humans and robots, using the sense of touch as a starting point.
From the perspective of "embodied intelligence," which focuses on the close connection among sensation, motion, and cognition, the lab works on haptic display devices, tactile sensors, remote technologies, and more.
By sharing touch and bodily sensation, the lab aims to convey the feel of a place to remote locations and to share skills and sensations that words and video cannot fully convey.
The lab is located not in the Graduate School of Information Sciences but in the Mechanical Intelligence Joint Building of the School of Engineering.
Key terms
- Haptics
- The field that deals with the science and technology of touch. It spans a wide range of disciplines, from neuroscience to mechanical engineering and computer science.
- Embodied intelligence
- An approach that focuses on the close connection among sensation, motion, and cognition. It also serves as a foundation for refining robots' movements and decision-making.
- Haptic display devices
- Devices that convey the sense of touch to people. They are built into smartphones, VR systems, in-vehicle devices, and more.
ResearchResearch themes
Based on haptics, the science and technology of touch, this lab focuses on the connection among sensation, motion, and cognition to open up new forms of communication between robots and humans. Robot contact detection, dexterous grasping and manipulation, and teleoperation all require tactile sensing and tactile assistance.
