Tough Robotics to Work
in the Real World

We conduct research and development of “tough” robots that work stably and robustly in the real world and construct the “Tough Cyberphysical AI” to solve social issues, by integrating our achievements on the robots and systems that actually work in extreme and unrestricted environments such as disasters and the outer space and our results of navigation in unrestricted real-world environments.
