Human Augmentation
This research area explores ways to enhance human capabilities through sensory augmentation and robotics. By offering new experiences in vision and touch or developing technologies that complement and extend physical functions, we seek to broaden human potential while also exploring the redefinition of humanity itself.

Projects
"If you want to accomplish in your life, one thing that would contribute to the future of humanity - what is that?" How do researchers at Sony CSL reflect on these questions and engage with their own research? And what kind of place is Sony Computer Science Laboratories, shaped by such individuals? Through the words of the researchers themselves, we hope to share part of that perspective.
