Research Interests
We will promote collaboration among industry, academia, and government, with the Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology (RCAST) serving as a hub, to address societal challenges such as global climate change, energy sustainability, and labor shortages arising from population aging and declining birth rates.
In particular, we will focus on addressing labor shortages across industries by analyzing the technical, business, and institutional barriers to the real-world deployment of robotics and physical AI. Building on this analysis and guided by needs on the ground, we will develop sustainable models for solving societal challenges through robotics, with a clear path from demonstration to commercialization and widespread adoption.
