Fundamental technology

Proposing new technology that supports and understands living scenarios

Situational understanding under various environments such as manufacturing workplaces, service industry workplaces, and the home is needed as a fundamental technology in the pursuit of coexistence of humans and machines. So AIRC is putting effort into research of 3D object recognition, movement recognition, and environment recognition.
Specifically, we are constructing 3D data of objects found in daily life and movement data of people, and proposing technology that comprehends and supports living scenarios. In addition, for the future we are exploring methods to apply this data to robot behavior planning.
In this field, we have established technology using deep learning that recognizes both shapes and functions of objects from 3D data. In addition, we have built a cloud-based virtual reality (VR) environment and are accumulating huge amounts of interaction data between humans and robots.
