顔身体デザイン (Face&Body Design)

顔身体デザイン is a JSPS Transformative Area (A) project. This project's mission is to design the future face and body, involving robotics as well as other fields in the humanities.


Religion in robotics and AI

Robotics and religion are typically seen as distant worlds. Conversely, there is much to research, to shape the future while digging into the past.
SanTO, DarumaTO and CelesTE are a few of the trailblazing machines of this new niche.
Robots of this kind have been exhibited in public events, museums, universities and churches.




e-ViTA

e-ViTA was a EU-Japan Horizon 2020 project (ended in 2024) that seeked to develop a virtual coaching system that can promote active and healthy living among the elderly, so as to improve their ability to live independently.
Its goal was to provide personalised advice and recommendations based on big data analytics, social-emotional computing and reliable artificial intelligence, while interfaced with the users through a variety of devices, which include sensors, social robots and holograms.

e-ViTA was supported by Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) of Japan (Grant no. JPJ000595).
