Mitsuharu Matsumoto Laboratory starts its research activity in the University of Electro-Communications (UEC) since November 2008 as a member of the education and research center for frontier science. Our laboratory currently belongs to department of informatics in faculty of informatics and engineering since April 2013. Our research areas are perceptual computing including image processing, acoustical signal processing and tactile/haptic processing. Intelligent robotics and human-robot interaction are also the research areas of our laboratory．
Our research aim is to develop "mecha-bio frontier" from science and engineering view points and to give the research results back to society.
We would like to progress our reseach projects not only from engineering views such as information processing and mechatronics but also from scientific view such as physics, chemistry, and mathematics. We also would like to understand life and human from observing human-like robots and human-robot interaction with psychologics, Kansei engineering and human engineering view points.
