Researcher

Takanori Isobe

Outline

This project explores beyond symmetric-key cryptography that has new properties and new functionalities to achieve the long-term security of edge devices for IoT. Under the assumption that IoT devices are compromised and its memory/execution environment are physically accessible by the adversary, I aim to provide the reasonable level of security. Specifically, I develop technologies that protect the secret key by only software, i.e. without relying on any secure hardware device. Besides, I provide cryptographic primitives that ensure the security even after the secret key is disclosed.

Radio Spectrum Space API for Integrating Physical and Cyber-space

Researcher

Shunsuke Saruwatari

Outline

The goal of this project is to connect physical space, where we are living, and cyberspace, where build on computer networks, with radio spectrum space. Specifically, this project develops a radio-spectrum space API module that provides us radio communication, energy supply, and sensing functions simultaneously. By realizing the radio spectrum space API module, we will be able to solve an unsolved problem of the IoT “what should we do with the energy to sense the physical space and get the sensed data into cyberspace?.”

Researcher

Hiroaki Shiokawa

Outline

The amount of data acquired from IoT devices is continuously increasing. However, the real-time analysis technology for the IoT big data is still underdeveloped because of the severe spatio-temporal constraints such as computing power and memory capacity of the computers that we can use in our daily life. Our research aims to establish a fundamental technology to analyze real-time and multimodal IoT data quickly.

Machine Learning in/for IoT Networks

Researcher

Takayuki Nishio

Outline

This research aims to develop an IoT infrastructure that provides communication networks and AI data processing integratedly to consume IoT data locally in order to solve the explosive increase in IoT-AI traffic and data privacy. Instead of conventional cloud computing-based data processing, the IoT infrastructure performs AI data processing in a distributed manner within the local network where IoT data is collected for reducing traffic on the core network, improving real-time performance, and greatly reducing the risk of leakage of confidential information.

Cooperative surveillance system for urban and rural areas using multiple UAVs and LiDARs

Researcher

Akihito Hiromori

Outline

This project develops a cooperative surveillance system to monitor various infrastructures and activities in urban and rural areas. The system derives cooperative strategies for multiple UAVs to observe the areas efficiently. The system also measures the shapes of infrastructures from points of clouds obtained by LiDARs attached to the UAVs in realtime. The obtained high definition 3D map is useful for predicting and preventing accidents while reducing costs and resource consumption. It also supports operating search and evacuation missions during emergencies in large-scale disasters such as earthquakes and flooding.

Researcher

Yuki Matsuda

Outline

In future smart cities where various IoTs are widely placed in, data-driven services will make our daily life enrich. Toward realize that, a sustainable IoT platform that can be aware of people’s perception by integrating various kind/accuracy sensors is essential. This project aims to build a novel platform that is able to tune urban IoT sensors utilizing people’s perception (subjective feedback) gathered by participatory sensing.

Development of High Performance Stream-based Lossless Data Compression

Researcher

Shinichi Yamagiwa

Outline

This project pursues a novel stream-based lossless data compression technology that compresses/decompresses contiguous data stream without any buffering/stalling. The goal of this project is to develop a new hardware architecture for the stream-based data compression by introducing a variable encoding technique and a universal compression mechanism. With employing the new architecture, this project will challenge to not only improving computation/communication performances of IoT systems, but also to reducing power consumption of IoT devices.
