The lab applies robot technologies for outdoor work to disaster response and construction sites.
AboutAbout the lab
Creating technologies and systems that are useful to people
The Field Robotics Lab conducts research and development on robot technologies for use in outdoor fields.
Its representative targets are emergency recovery after natural disasters and automated construction at construction sites.
The lab's research philosophy is "to create technologies and systems that are useful to people."
The lab was launched in October 2024 as a sister lab of the "Intelligent Robot Lab."
Key terms
- Field robotics
- A field of robot technology intended for outdoor use, with targets such as disaster sites and construction sites
- Automated construction
- Machines carrying out construction work at a construction site automatically. Coordinated operation of construction machines and work planning are the subjects of study
- Hydraulic excavator
- A construction machine that digs soil with a hydraulically driven arm. Planning and control of its excavation motions are the subjects of study

ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to realize field robotics technologies for use in outdoor fields in a form that is useful to people. Focusing on emergency recovery after natural disasters and automated construction at construction sites as its representative targets, the lab studies technologies using construction machinery and drones.
*Illustrative imageCoordination of small construction machines at disaster sites
The lab studies planning and control that allow multiple small construction machines to work in coordination at natural disaster sites. Emergency recovery after natural disasters is a representative target area of this lab.
*Illustrative imageRemote investigation of disaster sites using drones
The lab studies technologies in which drones carry investigation equipment unmanned and place it at natural disaster sites. Technologies for collecting information about the site are also covered.
*Illustrative imageAutomated construction with multiple construction machines
Aiming to realize automated construction, the lab studies methods for multiple construction machines to work in coordination. Automated construction at construction sites is a representative target area of this lab.
*Illustrative imageExcavation planning and control using ground estimation
Aiming to improve excavation efficiency, the lab studies how to estimate ground conditions and use them to plan and control the excavation motions of hydraulic excavators.
