Graduate School of Information Science and Technology
We explore real-world sensing, digital twins, and cyber-physical systems for cities, communities, and resilient societies.
Research Overview
Cyber-Physical Systems / Sensing / Intelligence
Research Scope
Bridging Physical and Cyber Worlds
The lab works across smart cities and buildings , smart mobility , people-flow analysis and intelligent environments , smart agriculture , disaster resilience , and space and satellite applications , while also looking toward communication infrastructure including 5G and 6G, to study digital twins and cyber-physical systems that connect physical and cyber spaces.
Using diverse IoT devices such as LiDAR, cameras, wireless systems, and robots, we collect real-world data and connect it to AI-driven sensing, understanding, analysis, prediction, and decision-making over visual, 3D spatial, and wireless data. We further integrate spatial AI, computer vision, robotics, simulation, and edge computing to build data-driven systems that understand people, spaces, and social systems in coordination with the real world.

Research Domains and Foundation Technologies
Our research spans application domains such as cities, mobility, people, and shared spaces, and combines sensing, communication and computing systems, and data intelligence.
We focus on uncovering fundamental questions that emerge only within the complex constraints of the real world, and reexamining them through the lens of real-world sensing, digital twins, and cyber-physical systems.
