Concept

Interactions in the real world (not only physical but also social and psychological interactions) are inherently parallel phenomena. By constructing models and engineering systems that takes into account such parallelism, one can expect a better understanding of the real world as well as enhanced performances of a system when dealing with practical applications.

These fundamental considerations lead us to concentrate on parallel processing for sensory information. Four main related topics are currently being explored in Ishikawa-Hashimoto Laboratory:

1. Sensor Fusion theory and implementation in engineering systems;

2. Visual Feedback servo control for real-time (micro/macro) robotic applications;

3. Massively parallel image processing through Vision Chip, which is capable of realizing high-speed real-time vision tasks on the basis of VLSI technology, and

4. Optics in Computing architectures that combine the advantages of optics and electronics to realize enormous computing throughput.
