Image Processingand Robotics Laboratory

Innovative technologies to realize people’s happiness with image processing and robots

Our laboratory is conducting research to make the lives of disaster victims, those in need of nursing care and those requiring help comfortable and enriched using robots and imaging-processing technologies. Specifically, we study ways to rapidly search for victims in a disaster-hit area with the use of flying robots, to automatically identify abnormal behaviors of people living at nursing care facilities with the use of image recognition processing and to ensure the comfortable and automated driving of wheelchairs. Our students are enjoying pursuing their research while also using freewheeling thinking.
