Human-Robot Interaction Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies how people and robots interact, and how to make environments intelligent.

AboutAbout the lab
Exploring how people and robots interact.
The Human-Robot Interaction Lab conducts a wide range of research on interaction between people and robots.
The lab also works on intelligent environments, treating the space around people as a robot. Sensors are distributed throughout the environment so that the whole room can watch over and support people's activities.
On the lab's website, the research list is divided into the Intelligent Environment Group, the Healthcare Group, and the Welfare Group (this information dates from around 2018).
The professor's research keywords also include IoT, cloud computing, AI & Data Mining, and ROV (deep-sea drones).
Key terms
- Intelligent environment
- The idea of distributing sensors throughout an environment so that the whole room can watch over and support people's activities
- HEMS
- Abbreviation of Home Energy Management System. A system that manages household energy use and encourages energy saving
- ROV
- Abbreviation of Remotely Operated Vehicle. A vehicle that is operated by remote control
