Education and research will be conducted on advanced research areas such as tough robotics and intelligent bodies operating in challenging environments. Additionally, "Tough Cyber-Physical AI Studies" (newly established) is going to be set as the lecture from this course.


The significance of cyber-physical AI, which operates in the real world with a physical presence, is rapidly increasing. In particular, there is a growing need for scientific and technological advancements that can contribute to addressing significant social and industrial challenges faced by our country and the world, such as SDGs and disasters. The development of tough cyber-physical AI, which refers to the enhancement of functionality in difficult environments, encompassing system robustness, flexibility, adaptability, and broad applicability based on those attributes, along with the cultivation of highly specialized professionals to spearhead these efforts and the social implementation of the value created, is of utmost urgency.


Based on the above background, we will systematically carry out educational research in advanced tough cyber-physical AI, which is particularly in high demand due to its potential to contribute to solving the challenges faced by society, with a focus on system robustness, flexibility, adaptability, and broad applicability. By equipping professionals who have received this education with the necessary skills, we aim to accelerate the resolution of global social issues and contribute to enhancing industrial competitiveness as well as driving the realization of a prosperous society.


We will directly address various challenging issues, research new scientific and technological methodologies to solve them, and strive to apply these methodologies in the real world. Through these efforts, we aspire to strengthen the promotion of the mission of the Department of Applied Information Science and actively engage in academic education and research that effectively fulfill the roles society expects from universities.
