About MPRG
The Machine Perception and Robotics Group (MPRG) is a research group at Chubu University formed from the Fujiyoshi Laboratory of the Department of AI and Robotics and the Yamashita Laboratory of the Department of Computer Science to study “Machine Perception and Robotics.” This group enables the most suitable members to freely work on research without constraints of affiliation and started operation in April 2014.
Treating a robot in the broadest sense as a “system that assimilates data from the outside world (sensing), comprehends its meaning (recognition), judges what it should do (decision), and operates in the outside world in a manner to benefit humans (behavior)”, this research group tackles research with the target of implementing in robots a visual field function that creates the process of sensing → recognition → decision.
Our research field is the whole range of image recognition, centered on object detection and people image analysis that uses machine learning technologies. Our aim is to perform useful research, while switching between fundamental and applied research.
Examples of productization of previous research results
