AboutAbout the lab
Toward robots that are kind and useful to people.
The Social Robot Lab studies communication, interaction, and interface technologies between people and robots.
As intelligent systems such as robots enter society and come into contact with people more often, the need to develop social robots is growing.
The lab also conducts joint research and lab seminars with the Fujisawa Lab.
The lab's website introduces it under the name "Mikawa Lab."
