–Science and Technology for Cognitive Interaction with Network Robots–

We are aiming to realize a society where robots and avatars live in harmony. In order to deeply understand the nature of interaction among “human and human,” “human and robot,” and “human and avatar,” we are advancing research on human cognitive interaction, including robots that can operate at a distance for touch, human-cooperative autonomous driving, and moral interaction.

By investigating these interactions—which are deeply connected to human cognition, emotion, and behavior—we will integrate psychology, neuroscience, and information science to design a richer and fuller future society. Our goal is to enable people to have natural and comfortable communication with robots and avatars, as if we were interacting with friends or family.
