Tele-Reality is a novel concept for the enhancement of “perception and action” in remote environments without physical transfer. We are developing a platform for the real-time transmission of visual, audio, and haptic information.

We propose a sensing system to detect people’s mental and physical circumstances and actions in their daily environments, through integration of signal processing and pattern recognition technology, and an information environment space that makes appropriate reactions. We demonstrate the system in a space that simulates daily life, and you can experience Keio’s human sensing.

We developed an objective evaluation device that uses EEG. In particular, an online evaluation system made it possible to learn the current state of interest levels, likes and dislikes, drowsiness, repulsion, stress, and immersion levels. You can experience “mental detection by simple EEG measuring equipment,” or an EOG-actuated robot.

We exhibit a Face-to-Face communication system realized using “photonics polymer” technologies, based on the principles of optics, photon, and polymer. Our Face-to-Face communication system, superseding the conventional system based on the Internet, is demonstrated using the fastest plastic optical fiber and high-resolution, large-size display.

Our research focuses on global distributed storage that brings secure and high speed access to anywhere on the earth.

In today’s Internet, when we want to retrieve content we need to specify the server that provides the content. However, we do not have to pay attention to the server’s location. We’re trying to realize a new content-centric network instead of machine-centric network.

The MiDORi technology presented by the Yamanaka Laboratory is a network control approach for network-wide energy saving. It applies traffic engineering (TE) to aggregate traffic and power-off network links, thus reducing energy consumption.

We propose E3-DCN which includes mash-up service and DCN and transmission energy efficiency. Mash-up service is the cloud service which combines devices, softwares, and contents on network. In the DCN, users request contents names to the network and receive requested contents from the network.

We propose a new structure of electric power network whose generation and delivery systems are separated to each other. Third-party institution called EVNO (Energy Virtual Network Operator) manages multiple distributed energy sources comprehensively, and provides a virtual energy generation system. Efficient energy supply and demand system is achieved.

Our research group studies on the future photonic network, called “Elastic Photonic Aggregation Network”. Elastic Photonic Aggregation Network integrates metropolitan and access network and allows aggregating traffics according to types of service. We propose some basic ideas and requirements of media access technology in the Elastic Photonic Aggregation Network.

RMT Processor integrates a processor core (RMT PU), which executes eight threads simultaneously based on their priority. It supports four real-time communication links (Responsive Links), various I/O devices (e.g., Space Wire, PCI-X, IEEE1394, and PWM), an IPC controller, and a run-time execution tracing.

We demonstrate a fast robust human detection/tracking system using an a priori statistical human model. Furthermore, detailed analysis and prediction of human behavior is presented in this booth.

In contrast with the conventional image recognition approach, we introduce the new concept of Action Print, which understands the functions and meanings of objects and space based on the history and spatial distribution of information on people’s actions. We demonstrate the visualization of Action Print, based on real-time sensing of people’s actions.

It is very important to monitoring breathing status for premature infants. We develop a novel vision-based system that monitors breathing status of an infant. The system can not only detect serious situation but also evaluate improvement of breath function.

We introduce our proposed human activity sensing systems using radio waves. First we introduce the array sensor that can classify and localize human’s activity and its position. We also introduce the falling detection system based on Doppler sensor that can detect falling.

We can collect a large amount of information in real time by using vehicular ad-hoc networks. We focus on the collection of traffic information, which can be used to determine vehicular topology. Our objective is to present drivers with the shortest vehicular route to their destination.

When you talk with long-distance people, you will use smartphone and/or video phone. Although these media are lacking of the “embodiment”, which is one of the important element in communication. Our laboratory shows the significance of the “embodiment” through our lab’s robot’s demonstration.

Advanced ICT exploiting our five senses mandates development of innovative hardwares that seamlessly connect our senses with the environment. Our group is developing innovative micro devices that include a wearable line-of-sight detection system and a tactile display by MEMS technology.

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

Spectrum sensing is a key to realize dependable wireless communications as it prevents interference from the users and improves the reliability of the communication link. An energy detection based spectrum sensing algorithm that is applicable to IEEE802.11 wireless LAN receivers is presented.
