Tamagawa University: Advanced Intelligence & Robotics (AIBot) Research Center in Brain Science Institute

抄録

The Advanced Intelligence & Robotics (AIBot) Research Center at Tamagawa University is dedicated to advancing human-centered robotics and AI through interdisciplinary collaboration. This special issue highlights key research initiatives across several domains, including human-robot collaboration, cognitive robotics, and human assistive systems. The Robotics Research Division explores symbol emergence for natural communication and applies virtual reality (VR) technologies to model human-robot-environment interactions, aiming to optimize cognitive feedback and user experience. The Brain-Inspired AI Division investigates methods to enhance psychological well-being and self-efficacy using VR-based feedback in assistive contexts. The Tamagawa Robot Challenge Project links university-level research with primary and secondary education by leveraging robotics competitions and practical learning tools. Together, these efforts showcase the commitment of the center to foster next-generation robotics that supports the physical, cognitive, and emotional aspects of human life. This issue brings together selected studies that reflect the ongoing contribution of the center to the international research community.
