Our research theme is "human-symbiotic intelligent systems (computers and agents)" that blend into humans' living spaces and assist with their activities in various ways.
We believe that these systems will be friendlier and more reliable for humans if they not only carry out given commands passively but also proactively support them through intuitive actions. However, such assistance can sometimes feel obtrusive. The systems must provide appropriate services at the appropriate timing for users with diverse purposes and Kansei. To achieve such genuinely "tactful and considerate" intelligent systems, our laboratory studies advanced technologies in sensing, recognition, and human-computer/agent interaction.Keywords
