| Advanced 3-D vision system "VVV" |
Robots need "eyes" to look around and observe objects carefully and three-dimensionally to work with people.
AIST is developing the advanced 3-D vision system (VVV: Versatile Volumetric Vision) based on human eyes and binocular vision so that robots can find and recognize various objects.

Robots should find, catch and track moving objects as well as static objects, at homes and factories.
Therefore, the robots must predict the movement of objects.
AIST has developed a technology to recognize the trajectory of moving objects by analyzing stored image frames.
The VVV system, which recognizes the shape of the moving ovjects, is exhibited in "Science square Tsukuba"

VVV technology has been implemented in various robots. Currently, it is used as the vision system of industrial robots.
In the near future, robots will be used more popularly in daily life, and they will be partners in our houses, schools, offices and hospitals.
The VVV will be the key technology for such world.
