Research Center for
the Earth Inclusive Sensing Empathizing with Silent Voices

Concept

Aim for a prosperity and tolerant coexistence society that lasts a thousand years by getting “healthy connections between people, society and nature” by IoT/AI sensing.

For human beings who aim for lasting prosperity in the limited environment surrounding the earth from now on a coexistence society is desired where humanity becomes rich with the earth. By creating cutting-edge IoT/AI sensing technology that gives us awareness of connections between people, society and nature, and promoting change in human behavior to build new connections and to make it cyclic, we aim to realize a prosperity and tolerant coexistence society in which both people and the earth are fruitful.


Empathizing with the silent voices of communication

In “human social boundary,” where ICT technology and globalization are rapidly expanding to communicate each other, vulnerable communication is becoming a problem. Fostering empathy and co-creation with diverse people is an important issue to realize a tolerant coexistence society, we promote awareness and learning of “connections” by visualizing the characteristics of communication in a group, and build a mechanism to support mutual understanding among diversed people.

Empathizing with the silent voices of animals

In “social nature boundary”, ethical production and consumption are essential for foods which are a blessing from nature in order to realize a rich coexistence society, Animal welfare (AW) is urgently required in livestock industry treated as important sources of protein. We will build a mechanism to promote ethical production and consumption by intensifying the “connection” between cattle, producers, consumers and Satoyama, which are giving us large impacts on economic and resource recyclings.
