NRC Tokyo
Currently, we have forty people working in this facility. Led by Yoshikatsu Nakagawa, Head of NRC Tokyo, we pursue our mission to spearhead human-centric systems research utilizing unique cultural aspects of Japan, such as Japanese craftsmanship, natural synergy in society, and the fusion of technologies generated in the advanced technopolis environment.
NRC Tokyo continues to develop collaborative research relationships with universities and industry players in Japan and intends to further employ the open innovation model to actualize the vision.
Research Focus
We are focusing on "Beyond mobile computer for truly human-centric communication".
Our intentions are:
- To redesign our physical world which currently relies on legacy mobile computers connected to the digital world to realize truly human-centric "augmented human life".
- To realize paradigm change by connecting human sensory functions to the digital world for natural communication in the fused physical and digital world.
Initial Research Projects include:
- Cyber Intelligent Systems: focusing on realizing intelligent systems which will be truly trusted human partners, co-exist in our society, and bridge the physical world and the digital world. Team Leader: Eigo Mori.
- Evocative "Kansei" Systems: focusing on realizing personal devices which you wish "to be with" rather than wish "to use". Team Leader: Kenichi Hashizume.
- Megalopolis Communication Systems: focusing on realizing innovative communication systems utilizing the highly densely populated environment which has been at a disadvantage in wireless communication systems. Team Leader: Toshiaki Jozawa.
- Future Wireless Systems: focusing on 3GPP-LTE standardization by contributing to 3GPP LTE Rel.8 and further. Team Leader: Kodo Shu
