- Experiencing No-Code development that supports the next generation software industry ~ plus understanding the use of AI and Big Data~
| Laboratory: |
Software Design and Analysis Laboratory |
| Method: |
Onlineonly |
| Summary: |
With the rapid development of the digital society, there is an increasing need to develop web applications and software more efficiently and faster. Programming, which has been the conventional wisdom in software development, can develop flexible software, but at the same time, it requires development man-hours and time. In recent years, however, a new software development method called "no-code development" has been attracting attention, and many private companies are rapidly introducing and using it. No-code development is attracting worldwide attention because it does not require writing source code, and thus enables the development of web services without being an engineer. In this course, participants will experience the no-code development technology that will support the next generation digital society and pursue new possibilities that can only be seen here. |

- Let's figure out how to behave like a people-friendly dialogue agent!
| Laboratory: |
Interactive Media Design Laboratory |
| Method: |
Online+face-to-face |
| Summary: |
How would a dialogue agent (character) running within a smartphone application or PC behave when interacting with people? Together, we will explore the differences in the way the agent looks and the impact that changes in behavior have on people. On the first day, we will share basic knowledge and learn about cutting-edge research. Next, we will develop ideas based on what we have learned and think about and create agent behavior. In doing so, we will also experience the measurement of human emotions by using sensors to visualize the impressions the agents give to people. Finally, as a summary, we will create a presentation of what we have learned and present a demonstration. This 2-day seminar is designed to provide a short, intensive experience of the fascinating study of human-robot interaction. |
