Basic Functions

The basic functions of our robot are explained. These techniques are combined to achieve a complex robot’s action.

Vision

We use YOLOv8 and Grounding DINO + Nano SAM methods depending on the situation.

Navigation

We modify the navigation system by Pumas.

Tidy-up Simulator

The tidy-up task on the HSR simulator is available on GitHub.

Research Activities

Dataset Generation

A dataset generator is a powerful tool for creating training datasets for the YOLO system.

Reservoir Computing

Reservoir computing is the lightweight model to handle the time-series information. We conduct research on this method for sound recognition and hand-wave detection systems.

Towards Realization of General-Purpose Service Robots

We conduct research on brain-inspired systems for home service robots. The hippocampus is the brain part that handles episodic memories. The system handles episodic memories acquired by the experience of the robot.

Our GPSR system is powered by large language model. We also implement the function to understand the spatial relationship of the objects.
