Introduction of past project that Interaction Science Laboratories have done.
Ubiquitous Network Robot
By cooperating robots with ambient sensors and character agents over mobile phones, we have made research and development on network robot technologies for realizing robot services which were not able to be done by a single robot. In the present project, we are extending the robot services to multiple locations such as home, hospitals and commercial facilities by cooperating network robots, and are developing technologies for providing services to people that move around multiple life scenes.

Geminoid
We are researching science and technology that can be used to project one's presence over a long distance through the android Geminoid. We are using this android to research and analyze aspects of a human's existence. (more detail)
Human Behavior Analysis
We are developing an automatic driving assessment advising system based on safety driving experts and the use of small gyro-sensors, with the aim of preventing driving accidents. (more detail)
Human-Robot Symbiosis
This project aims to realize a society of human-robot symbiosis in which humans and robots mutually learn from each other based on trust relationship. (more detail)
Ubiquitous Market
Applying the technologies of a network robot system, we incorporate the recommendation methods used in E-commerce in a retail shop in the real world. We constructed a platform for ubiquitous-networked robots that focuses on a shop environment where communication robots perform customer navigation.
Communications Intelligence Modules
We are developing Communication Intelligence Modules for creating friendly human-robot interaction in public places through the use of high efficient sensing technology. (more detail)
Network Robot Technology
A single robot often is insufficient because it must see, hear, talk and think all by itself. A network robot system can better provide information and guide people by coordinating a team of robots as well as Internet agents with other embedded devices such as cameras, electronic tags, and wearable sensors.

Structured Environmental Information Platform
Obtaining people's position information is essential for performing robotic services toward people. In order to appoach this goal, we are developing methods for people positioninig, and for extracting semantical information from these positions. Also, a testbed system will be constructed which realizes a common platform system providing these functionalities.

Education Program for Engineers and Enterprisers in Robotics Project
The next-generation robot fields which include robot technology(RT), ubiquitous technology(UT), and information technology(IT) are important elements of Japanese industry. This education program is a joint collaboration between ATR, Osaka University, Nara Institute of Science and Technology, and Osaka Urban Industry Promotion Center in order to educate engineers and business people in robotics for medium-sized and small-sized enterprises in the manufacturing industry.
E-nightingale Project
We are conducting research on a knowledge sharing system that observes certain activities in our everyday life with ubiquitous sensors, interprets these activities, constructs knowledge such as the general tendencies of these activities from the interpretations, and provides useful knowledge to those developing improvements for the targeted activities.
