Recognizing environment is vital function for autonomous mobile robot in human environment. We are studying about embedded intelligent robots witch have many perception/planning/control functions that require real-time operating system. For example, 3D mapping from robot in motion, self-localization and path planning using the map, vision and auditory functions for interaction with environment, semantics understanding from observed surrounding information, and so on. By combining those functions as a real-time system, the robot can autonomously decide its behavior depending on the situation.

In 1993, he joined AIST as a researcher. In 2001, he was assigned as the deputy director of Digital Human Laboratory of AIST. In 2010, he launched and directed Digital Human Research Center of AIST. Through 2015-2018, he directed Human Informatics Research Institute of AIST. After November 2018, he directs a new research center, Human Augmentation Research Center of AIST.
We aim at realizing the robot-aid-society based on robots that can work with various humans in various environments.
