To people who are interested in joining our laboratory as students

In this laboratory, we employ wide range of subjects with “Sound” as a keyword, from basic research to applied research, based on several backgrounds such as AI/Machine Learning, Robotics, Signal/Speech Processing. For instance, as deployment of basic technologies including robot audition and scene analysis such as sound source localization, sound source separation, and automatic speech recognition, we apply the basic technologies to many applications in variety of fields such as disaster rescue robot, ethology, human-robot interaction, mobility and ICT. Also, regarding robot audition research, we continuously conduct research and development on an open source software called HARK. Every year, we organize a free tutorial and hackathon as outreach activities when releasing the new version.

We are also actively pursuing joint research with companies, other research institutions, and universities, including HRI-JP, Honda’s basic research laboratory, so we offer those who are interested in pursuing research in the future at a company or at other research institutions the chance to absorb a variety of things through interaction.
In addition, you can talk with many alumni at events such as BBQs. This is another feature of our laboratory, which offers the chance to make connections both horizontally and vertically.

If you are interested in our laboratory and would like to study actively, let’s research together and have some fun. We’ll be waiting for you to join us!
