This lab started at Kyoto University in April 2018.
Previously our research was based at ATR-IRC. We are one of the leading groups in the HRI (Human-Robot Interaction) domain.
We welcome newcomers to help build this lab with us!
If you’re interested, please feel free to get in touch.
Our paper is published in a prestigious journal, ACM Transactions on Human-Robot Interaction.

There will be Entrance Examination Briefing for Dept. Social Informatics, Graduate School of Informatics, Kyoto University, to be held on May 14, 2023. The briefing will be only in Japanese, but at the last there is a session where participants can talk to professors. If you are interested in joining this lab from master/doctor course, this can be a good opportunity. More information can be found here:
