• Human and Object Interaction Process (HOIP) 岐阜県地域結集型共同研究事業

  • In a rapidly aging society, it will become increasingly difficult for the elderly to take care of each other or of themselves. Therefore, it is important to develop an automatic system which can sense, analyze and "understand" human actions in order to create meaningful interactions between humans and machines. For this reason, in the HOIP project, in a cooperative effort between universities, different companies and public research organizations, we are developing a computer system which could "understand" human intentions by understanding the relation between humans and a given object. Ultimately, we are aiming to develop a welfare system, in particular for the elderly.
