RESEARCH PROJECTS

We are developing a novel concept of real-time wearable translating glasses, named intelligent glasses, which can realize real-time multilingual translation. It is useful to a tourist who does not know the local language.

We are developing the methodologies for developing and supporting distributed, wearable robot systems which can be used as mobile devices for communication and interaction.

A mobile robot that can monitor, play with, and feed pets remotely when the owners are away from their pets.

We present a low–cost surveillance system to model and analyze human actions based on leaning by demonstration. By teaching the system the difference between normal and abnormal human motions, the computational model built inside the trained machines can automatically identify whether the newly observed behaviors require security interference.
