Intelligent Robotics Center l About ARL Research l ARL, TCU

Robot services and autonomous vehicle driving techniques have been rapidly developing in recent years, but further improvement in performance and safety must be established in order to put them to use in actual human working environments. To that end, the Intelligent Robotics Center aims at the construction of intelligent robot systems that can coexist with people. To accomplish this, we integrate a wide range of fields such as robotics, artificial intelligence, image processing, control engineering to facilitate cutting-edge robotic research.

The Intelligent Robotics Center pursues the construction of intelligent robot systems that can coexist with people. To do so, we challenge the following research topics:

●Advancement of autonomous mobile vehicle robots that coexist with humans: We conduct research to improve vehicle potential for collaboration with people, such as the development of vehicles and drones that operate autonomously in human living environments, and cars that ensure safety while respecting driver operation.

●Motion generation and whole-body motion control for humanoid robots and home robots: For comfortable coexistence between humans and robots, we research object recognition, motion generation, and whole-body motion control for daily tasks, and verify their effectiveness through task experiments utilizing humanoid robots and home robots.

●High precision servo technology for mechatronic systems: We conduct research on the advancement of servo systems that achieve high-precision motion control, and advance application to various mechatronic devices including robots.

Furthermore, we are proceeding with an international research collaboration in cooperation with the Malaysia-Japan International Institute of Technology.
