“Thermo film” is a flexible device that can render thermal sensation based on thermal-electrical transformation. Since the device is thin and flexible, it is possible to change the structure. Thus the device will be applied to a wearable and cellular interfaces.

We demonstrate some cutting-edge embedded technologies such as Responsive Multithreaded Processor (RMTP) for distributed real-time systems including humanoid robot and spacecraft control, RMTP SoC, RMTP SiP, and Responsive Link that is a real-time communication standard.

Toyama laboratory is developing SuperSQL, an extension of the SQL query language. SuperSQL allows users to generate VR content (Unity programs) directly from their database by only writing short queries. We showcase the system and let you experience it using a head mounted display.

We showcase Remote Table Access (RTA), a framework for the easy publication and integration of open relational data. Through a central web application, data owners are able to publish their tables for data users to browse, and access and integrate with their local data through SQL-like queries.

The IoT (Internet of Things) is the network of “things” with capability to communicate with each other. Each IoT device will have limited computing resources, and sometimes its resources will not be used. We propose the IoT platform that provides high-level services by trustworthily sharing computing resources among IoT devices.

Multiple service accommodation can be realized by using Reconfigurable Communication Processor (RCP) composed of hardware resources such as FPGA, LSI, and CPU. The hardware on RCPs can be treated as “resource pool” thanks to high-speed optical interconnection. According to the user's request, the hardware is flexibly allocated from the resource pool to each service.

Installation of optical circuit on a data center network (DCN) has been studied to reduce its power consumption. In the conventional MEMS optical switch-based system, only flows that require large bandwidth and have long duration time can be accommodated due to low-speed switching time. We propose a DCN that adopts ultra high speed PLZT optical switches to increase the number of flows bypassed to the optical circuit.

Imai Laboratory’s study is on interactive intelligence system to achieve smooth interacting within humans and robots. We aim to achieve adaptive action generation system with design based on cognitive properties of man. Today, we will demonstrate interactive robots and explain to you about the technical aims of the robots.

Application Function Chaining (AFC) enables application developers to put AFs at desired locations in various types of communication paths. AFC integrates computation into communication by providing data processing on communication paths.

In order to utilize digital data which grows enormously, we design a global digital data network on top of the existing computer networks. In this booth, we introduce an autonomous distributed content relationship sharing system for the next-generation content service and the distributed content ownership management infrastructure using block chains with demonstrations.

Developing new network services is always a fight against technology restrictions. We develop the technologies that overcome known limitations and support to realize new network services. This booth introduces and demonstrates highly precise clock synchronization and a trustworthy big-data sharing method.

Fast 6DoF (Position and Pose) estimation method will be demonstrated. Our approach can contribute to automation of manufacturing/logistics tasks.

Named Data Networking (NDN) is one of next generation networks, where users can obtain contents using content names instead of IP addresses. We propose a method to improve security in NDN and a new vehicular ad-hoc network applying NDN.

Japan will start the 4K/8K broadcasting ahead of the world. We introduce the world’s fastest plastic optical fiber that enables a real-time transmission of the staggering amount of information. Ourphotonics polymers also bring innovation to the liquid crystal display structure which becomes larger and more complicated.

We are engaged in research on sports video analysis using image sensing technology making use of deep learning and so on. In this exhibition, we introduce examples of sports video analysis for swimming, rugby and tennis competitions with demonstrations.

Deep Learning is now an indispensable technology in image sensing research. This exhibition introduces the latest Deep Learning research used for object recognition and scene understanding.

Optical interconnect technologies have been drawing much attention for realizing exa-scale high-performance computing systems. In this research, polymer optical waveguide devices for high-bandwidth-density interconnects are designed and fabricated in order to demonstrate their outstanding performances.

We will introduce several sensing technologies to recognize human behavior. Based on the techniques, the human embodiment can be reconstructed in the virtual environment. We apply these techniques to the purpose of sports training and rehabilitation.

Gaze behavior is one of expressions of human’s attention and intention, and it is possible to analyze attention of a group by measuring multiple users. In this exhibition, we introduce a visualization system based on our gaze measurement technique in three dimensional space using wearable devices.

By utilizing embedded optical sensors and machine learning techniques, it is possible to configure flexible measurement systems according to the measurement target in the real environment. In this exhibition, we introduce touch sensing using soft objects and facial expression / hand gesture recognition systems by wearable devices.

A novel POMS (Product Ownership Management System) of products for anti-counterfeits is introduced. With the proposed POMS, a customer can reject the purchase of counterfeits, if the seller does not possess the ownership of genuine products.

We introduce wireless health monitoring techniques that can realize non-contact measurement of vital signals, such as heart beat, breathing, and blinking.

Arrayed-waveguide grating routers for newly developing waveband (T-band, 1000-1260 nm) are fabricated. It realizes low-cost, ultra large capacity transmission systems for data center networks.

SAM (Smart Ambient Media) is an environment media which builds upon a feature processing loop comprising human sensing, smart computing, and adaptive display to enrich our daily lives. In this booth, we will provide a comprehensible introduction to the concepts and methodologies of SAM through demonstrating three latest applications.
