This field focuses on giving computers and robots the ability to learn for themselves and make decisions autonomously. It seeks to answer what “intelligence” is, and develops techniques critical to the future.

Modern data sets are often too huge and complex for humans to handle directly. With the help of computers, we discover valuable knowledge or wisdom hidden in such enormous data.

Humans and robots will co-exist and interact more frequently in the future. This field investigates how to create a more friendly relationship and improve interactions between humans and robots or computers.

Everything is increasingly connected to the Internet, using information technology to provide us with richer and safer lives. We study such issues in daily life, but also in primary industry, automatic driving and welfare.

Data, information, and even fast computers are increasingly located in remote locations. Users can securely and quickly access these state-of-the-art networked resources from anywhere. We study techniques to realize such environments and services.
