Vision sensors and systems for intelligent robotic system

Our research interests include a wide variety of issues on vision-centric intelligent sensing for robotic systems, such as developping neuromorphic sensors, cameras, vision algorithms, and models of the biological visual computation, application to robot control, measurement of biological information and so on, in interdisciplinary field of electronics, computer science, mechanics, and biological science.
Keywords : Vision chip, neuromorphic engineering, embedded computer vision, sensor fusion, active vision, visual servo.
