The Artificial Intelligence Lab studies artificial intelligence that fuses human intelligence with machine functions, based on an understanding of embodiment and of intellect, emotion, and will. The lab aims to create intuitive systems that anyone can use, and information and machine technologies that support, amplify, and extend human abilities. To provide the support people need at the moment they need it, the lab works on artificial intelligence that connects the human conscious and unconscious mind with machines. In every research project, the lab develops hardware as well as software, and it collaborates with fields such as medicine and sports science.

The Perceptual Augmentation Systems Lab studies technologies and systems that enable activity in a world where the boundaries between cyberspace and physical space, and between on-site and remote, are blurred. The lab aims to bridge gaps that individuals cannot fill alone, widen the range of choices open to people, and enable each person to live as fully human as possible. Using acoustic signal processing, VR/AR, and AI technologies, the lab aims to build systems that augment human perceptual and physical abilities. On the lab's website, it is presented under the name "XperLab."
Tsuyoshi Takatani, Assistant Professor

The Computational Imaging Lab studies the co-design of applied optics and computer science to create new visual systems for machines and artificial intelligence. Its research rests on two pillars: "Capture (Imaging)," which observes and understands the world, and "Create (Graphics)," which generates and represents scenes. In "Capture," the lab combines sensors such as event cameras, polarization, and thermal infrared with modulated or structured illumination to extract information that was previously invisible, such as shape, reflectance properties, and materials. In "Create," the lab generates images and structures from measured data and virtual models, and works on reproducing textures through digital fabrication.

The Sensing Systems Lab (Acoustic Systems Lab) specializes in research on sensor signal processing. A wide variety of physical interactions are involved in the process by which a sensor takes measurements. By treating these interactions as features, and modeling, extracting, and integrating them, it may be possible to make use of more diverse and richer information. In particular, the lab explores new signal processing methods, focusing on positioning and sonar technologies that use sound waves to determine the location of objects.

The Control and Robotics Lab studies the control of robots and other systems, with the mission of actually demonstrating control of objects that are hard to control. Many of the objects it deals with involve nonlinearity, which is also found in robot systems. The lab works in cooperation with the Intelligent Robot Laboratory (Roboken). The lab was established in April 2015.

The Human-Robot Interaction Lab conducts a wide range of research on interaction between people and robots. The lab also works on intelligent environments, treating the space around people as a robot. Sensors are distributed throughout the environment so that the whole room can watch over and support people's activities. On the lab's website, the research list is divided into the Intelligent Environment Group, the Healthcare Group, and the Welfare Group (this information dates from around 2018). The professor's research keywords also include IoT, cloud computing, AI & Data Mining, and ROV (deep-sea drones).
Atsushi Nakao, Assistant Professor

Using the approach of data assimilation, which fuses multiple datasets with fluid dynamics theory, Nakao Lab studies the mechanisms of complex phenomena that cannot be observed directly, such as those in the Earth's interior. The lab works on reconstructing the history of mantle convection and on analyzing plate tectonics data related to earthquakes and volcanoes. If you are interested in using mathematical science to see the unseen, the lab plans to explore subjects beyond earth science together with you, such as flows in structures and living bodies, and human flow.
Takayuki Niizato, Associate Professor

Niizato Lab aims to elucidate emergent phenomena in general through the study of groups of animals and other organisms. Focusing on the dual nature of each individual, its individuality (token) and its sociality (type), the lab examines the process by which a group acquires a single body. The lab conducts numerical simulations and experiments; in its experiments, it analyzes the movements of schools of ayu (sweetfish). The information on the lab's website dates from around 2014 to 2016.

The Computational Intelligence and Multimedia Lab studies how to use media such as text, images, and sound, along with the devices that handle them, to fundamentally improve people's lives. Its work includes airframe design and image sensing for agricultural and disaster-response drones, next-generation learning support, recommendation for smart devices, and super-resolution technology. Computational intelligence is listed among its research keywords, and the lab also values research on discrete mathematics, which underlies it. The lab's website says that anyone interested is welcome to visit at any time.

The Feel Engineering Lab studies technologies and content that engineer the reproduction and creation of the sensation of touching things. By combining other senses with touch and presenting information based on physiology and psychology, the lab aims to build interfaces that let users experience the feel they want. It develops methods of presenting sensations that exploit human perceptual characteristics, such as illusions and cross-modal phenomena. The lab also works on creating products that combine natural materials with advanced technology, and one example of its research is an electronic circuit based on urushi lacquer.
