Bringing unprecedented robots into practical use and contributing to solving challenges in extreme environments.
The Extreme Environment Robot Research Institute (HERO Lab) is an organization aimed at the research and development of decommissioning robots that can operate in environments where humans cannot enter, such as the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Founded in 2020, it welcomed Professor Shigeo Hirose, an honorary professor at Tokyo Institute of Technology and the first recipient of the Pioneer in Robotics and Automation Award from the IEEE Robotics & Automation Society, as its director. We aim to contribute to society by solving significantly difficult and diverse problems that no one in the world has yet found solutions for through creative robot development. *For more details, please check the related links below or contact us.*

basic information
HERO Lab.'s Goals 1. We will proactively challenge the development of various decommissioning robots necessary for the decommissioning work at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant as a member of the TEPCO Group. 2. Since the TEPCO Group's power business requires robots for maintaining and repairing large infrastructure, as well as assistive devices for the workers performing these tasks, we will actively engage in the development of these devices. 3. Not limited to these, we will freely conceive and actively develop devices that could benefit society, such as the "Optical Sensor Seismic Measurement System" using optical seismic sensors provided by Hakusan Industries, and the "HERO Inner Mask" that makes breathing easier when wearing a mask. 4. HERO Lab. places great importance on collaboration with academia and will actively present the results of our research and development at academic conferences.

Company information
I want to create a company that chooses and implements things that society will need in the future, even though they may be difficult to commercialize in the short term. To achieve this, it is crucial to gather people with deep insights into society and technology, particularly in specific, sometimes very narrow, fields. A vital role of Hakusan is to support those individuals.
