Measurement and Information Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies automated measurement by robots and the measurement of face-to-face communication.
AboutAbout the lab
Building new relationships between humans and machines, among machines, and among humans
Based on engineering insights into human functions and senses, the Measurement and Information Engineering Lab aims to build new relationships between humans and machines, among machines, and among humans, and to realize a safe and secure social environment.
Working with software and hardware related to vision, hearing, and somatosensation, the lab has pursued research on image processing, acoustic measurement, and bodily expression through body measurement.
The lab focuses on robots that automate measurement and inspection in places that are hard for people to enter, such as structures, and on the measurement of face-to-face communication, in which people are always involved.
Key terms
- Somatosensation
- Sensory information related to the body, distinct from vision and hearing. The lab handles it through body measurement and links it to research on bodily expression.
- First-person vision
- A human-centered IT technology. The lab aims to extend it to first-person media that include audio and other elements.
- Wearable devices
- Devices worn on the body. The lab researches and develops them alongside the measurement of communication between people.
ResearchResearch themes
Based on engineering insights into human functions and senses, including the body, the lab aims to build new relationships between humans and machines, among machines, and among humans, and to realize a safe and secure social environment. Building on research related to vision, hearing, and somatosensation, it works on image processing, robotics, and interfaces.
*Illustrative imageFirst-Person Media Technology
Aiming to establish first-person media, which adds audio and other elements to first-person vision, the lab studies real-time measurement of communication between people and researches and develops wearable devices.
*Illustrative imagePractical Image Processing
As diagnostic applications using automated image analysis, the lab conducts research aimed at practical industrial use, such as methods that automate crack inspection through image processing.
*Illustrative imageEmbodied Media Interfaces
The lab researches and develops interfaces that control media through gestures, and aims to create new forms of communication by generating human bodily expression.
*Illustrative imageRobotics Applications
Focusing on robots that work in places that are hard for people to enter, the lab designs robots suited to their environments and develops applications with the safety of working robots in mind.
