The long-term target is to investigate the principle of Subjective Computing which is a new stage of computing based on the subjectivity in the human perceptual process.
Our researches on artificial intelligence and subjective computing will also be tightly related to Cybernics research. Cybernics is a new domain of interdisciplinary academic field of human-assistive technology to enhance, strengthen, and support human's cognitive and physical functions, which challenges to integrate and harmonize humans and robots (RT: robotics technology) with the basis of information technology (IT) in a functional, organic, and social manner.
- A New Perspective of Artificial Intelligence -
Current works include humanoid robot, autonomous robot; machine learning; evolutionary computation; pattern classification; multimodal human-machine communication; environment recognition; sound database; music technology; sound signal processing.
The
long-term target is to investigate the principle
of Subjective Computing which is a new
stage of computing based on the subjectivity in
the human perceptual process. (Suzuki, 2005) A
modeling taking insights from the human subjectivity
and individual preference is the main issue of
this basic research. This approach is tightly
related to cognitive science, and includes an
integrated physical robot system for investigating
varieties of mechanisms relevant to embodied.
In the near future, the research phase on applied computing will enter a new stage of computing based on the subjectivity in the human perceptual process regarded as Subjective computing. A modeling taking insights from the human subjectivity and individual preference is the main issue of this basic research. This includes the terms of individual emotional resonance, comfort and satisfaction. This approach differs from a conventional evaluation based on objectivity and logic used in physics or mathematics. The subjectivity and individual preference should be treated as psycho-physiological interrelationship. As described the following keywords, this work is tightly related to cognitive science, and includes an integrated physical robot system for investigating varieties of mechanisms relevant to embodied.
The
research results on subjective computing will
not only advance the existing applied computing
and artificial intelligence but also can provide
perspectives for human subjectivity. The goal
of understanding human subjectivity cannot be
achieved in the short time-frame, and it is a
long term challenge. Our lab explores the problem
with ideas from several relevant disciplines such
as computer science, psychology, neuroscience
and robotics.
