Human and Life Science

In aims of realizing cities, houses, and mobility where people can be in “well-being~{*1}” and establishment of a design methodology of products and services supporting the well-being, we conduct research on the mechanisms of human physical functions, cognitive functions, emotions, and sociality based on life science and ergonomics.
In addition to monitoring physical and mental condition as well as biological aspects where people live, we work on the research of devices and systems to augment the physical and cognitive functions. Furthermore, we conduct research on the analysis of natural environments and ecosystems that aim to increase the sustainability and biodiversity of the earth and society, as well as on biomanufacturing technologies which utilize the function of living organisms.
