Origin of the Mark of Our Laboratory

The mark of our laboratory is a combinatory expression of robotics, high-speed image processing, by symbolically drawing our research base such as robot arm, lens, and sensor device. In addition, the whole shape is made closer to the cursive style font of "I". Three circles at the center of the mark expressed three research groups at the early stage of our laboratory. As our laboratory has four research groups at present, four circles including the circle at the right hand side of the mark are expressing four groups.
