AboutAbout the lab
Supporting people's lives with robot technology
The Matsumoto Lab (Robotics Lab) studies how to support people's lives using robot technology.
In addition to developing useful robots, such as those that assist with daily activities and communication, the lab works on evaluation methods for demonstrating how the robots are useful.
The lab aims to identify needs for robotic support in various fields, including medicine, nursing care, welfare, and education, and to design and realize the necessary functions by combining technologies such as mechanics (machinery), sensors (electrical and electronic engineering), and AI (information).
The lab's website introduces life-support robots, dialogue robots, and care-support robots.
Key terms
- Life-support robots
- Robots that assist people with daily activities.
- Dialogue robots
- Robots that talk with people and hold conversations.
- Sensors
- Components that measure light, force, distance, and so on and convert them into electrical signals. Robots use them to sense their surroundings.
