Human Augmentation – Sony CSL

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.
