Proposal of virtual light touch contact and fall prevention and walking support
In Japan, where the super-aging society is advancing, fall accidents have become a major problem in daily life and work sites. To solve this problem, we are aiming to devise a methodology to reduce the fall risk inherent in humans by using a virtual wall, and to develop a methodology to quantify the fall risk. ．

Development of an untrained class-estimation artificial intelligence model
Ordinary machine learning models, such as neural networks and support vector machines, cannot identify and use classes that are not assumed at training time. We are devising a new probabilistic model for estimating undefined classes at training time with high accuracy, and developing an interface system using it．
