Abstract: In order to establish hyper-human robotics technology, which is technology that far exceeds human abilities, we are principally promoting research and development of sensing and manipulation technologies based on high-speed vision that has real-time processing rates of 1000 frames/s or faster. In order to accomplish our mission of producing something that will be beneficial for people in society, we will extend these technologies for applications in a wide variety of fields.
In this presentation, I will first introduce the development of high-speed vision technical. Next I will introduce some high speed vision system, and how to apply those high speed vision systems as real-time vision-based robot sensing systems. Finally, I will talk about some application fields we are working on.
1. Vision & Sensing: Information systems and devices that can achieve real-time image processing at 1000 frames/s or greater.
2. Mechatronics & Manipulation: Sensor-based manipulation combined with high-speed vision and also robot mechanisms that have built-in intelligence in order to realize manipulation that differs from that of humans.
3. Hyper Human Applications: On-line measurements and control at manufacturing sites, and behavior mining of biological behaviors that are too rapid for the human eye to detect.
Biography： Idaku Ishii received the B.E., M.E., and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan, in 1992, 1994, and 2000, respectively. He is currently a Professor with Graduate School of Engineering, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima, Japan. His general research interests are high-speed robot vision, sensory information processing, sensor-based robot manipulation, and applications in industry and biomedicine. His lab has obtained several major research projects of Japan Science and Technology Agency, and the research funds exceed over 5 billion yen. He has published two academic monographs and over 100 papers and still held several tens of Japanese and international patents.
