FOR SOCIETY

We are developing technologies for extracting information from the real world, including humans, objects, and nature, which are challenging to sense or formalize, and for precisely controlling energy movement. These advancements aim to facilitate the development of robots capable of remote control and assisting humans, robots that adapt to extreme environments and possess high mobility, and their application in manufacturing and maintenance within cyber-physical systems. Using this technology, we optimize the flow of information and energy in the real world and contribute to the creation of new systems that enable life and green innovation and manufacturing DX.
