We aim for a society in which robots coexist smoothly."Coexistence" is assumed to be work, daily life, study, etc. Sensing, cognitive technology, and motion control are all key to achieve our goal. At the GVLab we are developing systems that take into account the state of the people around us, the things around us, and the robot itself. We create a cognitive system for robots by incorporating psychological models. We are conducting three pillars of research: human dynamics, robotic intelligence control, and the comprehensive effects of humans and robots in the real environment.

In addition to the robot's built-in sensors, distance, moisture, temperature, humidity, light sensors, etc. are available. The measured signal is transmitted to the cognitive system. The cognitive system uses machine learning and deep learning to determine the situation, determine the robot's behavior, and send commands to the robot's control system. Nep and RIZE environments developed to aggregate each technology are used. Regardless of industrial robots, the same concept and technology can be applied to service robots, educational robots, life support robots, etc. In addition to human-type robots and double-arm robots, it is a technology that can be deployed to mobile robots and animal-type robots. In addition, expressive movements of robots can be generated using kansei engineering. We believe that it is a technology that can be applied widely in the future.

We seek highly motivated and open mindede students, ready to work in an international and interdisciplinary environment.
If you are interested in joining Tokyo University as a graduate student and join the GVLab please consult with us and with the admission office.
If you are a student looking for an internship, we are unable to offer position at the moment. Maybe from 2023 we will restart.

Please contact us to arrange for a meeting and discuss further.
