In the laboratory of Professor Minoru Nakazawa of Kanazawa Institute of Technology AI Lab, aiming to realize a society where people with disabilities can work according to the type and situation of disability, in collaboration with Kanazawa City, we will conduct a demonstration experiment using AI technology 2019 From January 1th to the end of March, it will be held at "Colorful Kanazawa", a human resources development facility for persons with disabilities.
In the demonstration experiment, one composite sensor was installed in "Colorful Kanazawa", and about 10 types of sensors (thermography, color detection, magnetic force, temperature and humidity, carbon dioxide concentration, atmospheric pressure, human feeling, microphone, millimeter) were installed on the server on the cloud. The information obtained from the wave) is sent regularly.From there, using the AI technology built on the server on the cloud, there are nearly 20 types of actions (kettle operation, paper towel drawer, dishwasher operation, faucet, opening and closing after refrigeration, hand washing). , Door opening and closing, etc.) We will carry out a demonstration experiment to see if it is possible to recognize.One of the features is that it can be widely deployed in that it can sense the state without burdening the target person because the user has no wearing items and is in exactly the same state from the normal state.AI derives the causality of environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, brightness, and environmental sounds from the behavioral characteristics of persons with disabilities obtained in the demonstration experiment, and visualizes and digitizes the conditions under which they can work.As a result, the employer can confirm the environmental requirements for hiring a disabled person, and the disabled person will be able to create a comfortable working environment with the understanding of the employer.In addition, for human resource development facilities, it becomes possible to understand the behavioral characteristics of individual persons with disabilities based on sensor data and make inquiries to employers, which leads to employment promotion.
Kanazawa City and Kanazawa Institute of Technology established the AI Technology Regional Development Study Group in August 2018.In October of the same year, Kanazawa City's new industry creation vision was formulated with "implementation of technologies such as AI in citizens' lives" as one of the projects.This demonstration experiment was also conducted as part of this, and by utilizing AI technology, "Smart Inclusion" will realize a society where everyone, including the elderly and disabled, can enjoy a rich life, including watching over children. "It aims to.
