We are developing a perceptual information infrastructure that consists of sensor networks embedded in the environment. It recognizes human behaviors and support human activities. This talk discusses the possibilities focused especially on the camera network installed in Kyoto station.

Hiroshi Ishiguro received D.Eng. degree from Osaka University in 1991. In 1991, he started working as a research assistant of Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Yamanashi University. Then, he moved to Department of Systems Engineering, Osaka University, Japan, as a research assistant in 1992. In 1994, he was an associate professor of Department of Information Science, Kyoto University, Japan, and started research of distributed vision using omnidirectional cameras. From 1998 to 1999, he worked in Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of California, San Diego, as a visiting scholar. From 1999, he is a visiting researcher in ATR Media Information Science Laboratories and he has developed interactive humanoid robots, Robovie. In 2000, he moved to Department of Computer and Communication Sciences, Wakayama University, as an associate professor and then he became a professor in 2001. Now he is a professor of Department of adaptive machine systems, Osaka University, and a group leader of ATR Intelligent Robotics and Communication laboratories. His current interests are interactive robots, android robots and perceptual information infrastructure.
