AboutAbout the lab
Merging the physical world and cyberspace through networks
The Saruwatari Lab (Cyber-Physical Networking Division) explores the merging of the physical world and cyberspace through advanced networking technologies.
By integrating sensing, communication, and AI, the lab creates foundational technologies that support a smarter, more highly connected future society.
Its goal is to realize networks that do more than send data: networks that grasp the environment, understand human behavior, and connect people, objects, and spaces naturally.
Key terms
- Cyberspace
- A virtual space that extends within computers and networks. The lab explores its merging with physical space.
- Sensing
- Measuring the state of the surrounding environment, human movements, and the like using sensors.
- Quantum computer
- A new type of computer that computes by using the properties of quantum mechanics.
