What We Offer

Going forward, society will have to deal with problems surrounding falling birthrates and an aging population, as well as the environment, making it imperative that we quickly develop technology surrounding the support systems that allow humans to go about their lives safely and comfortably. In order to realize this, we need research that analyzes humans and their surrounding environment from many angles. This area of research covers a wide range of educational and research topics including human interfaces, intelligent control, biological information measurement, natural environment evaluation, and the many other various human, environment, and information-related component technologies and their organic integration.
