In various fields, including medical and health management, the demand for vital sensing technology is increasing because of the proliferation of related services. One of them, millimeter-wave radar, is seen as a promising technology that can simultaneously measure the vital signs of multiple people in a noncontact manner with the body. ...

Human sensing, which measures human movements and vital signs, has become familiar to us with the proliferation of measurement devices and the expansion of related services. Among the various measurement devices, millimeter-wave radar has attracted much attention because it can accurately measure human ...

Millimeter-wave radars have been drawing interest as a means of contactless sensing of the positions of people and objects and are expected to be used in a wide range of fields, such as automotive, transportation infrastructure, factory automation (FA), and healthcare. In order for radars to correctly detect the position of the targets, it is necessary to estimate the direction of arrival of the radio waves with high accuracy. ...

We are developing a ping-pong robot called FORPHEUS that can keep a table tennis rally going and interact with people to generate an appeal for harmonization, which is the future relationship between humans and machines. Although the performance of the table tennis robot has been improving year by year,...

With the spread of IoT, embedded devices are also connected to the Internet, which is in danger of security attacks. If a security attack stopped the control of embedded devices, substantial damage is expected. Therefore, a measure is demanded....

The demand for oxygen concentrators that support COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) patients will increase in the future. The device supplies oxygen generated by concentrating the surrounding air, and it is necessary to monitor the oxygen....

In recent years, “IoT (Internet of Things)”, in which all “things” are connected by a network, has attracted attention. In IoT, advanced sensing devices that can process and transmit sensing data are being expected in order to create new services...

We are developing a ping-pong robot “FORPHEUS” that can play table tennis with humans representing the harmony between humans and machines. In order to accurately return the ping-pong ball, the robot must perform the following tasks: predicting the trajectory...

Acoustic sensing technology like speech recognition or noise cancellation has attracted a lot of attention recently. These new applications stimulate the demand for smaller and lower noise MEMS (micro electro-mechanical system)...
