University of Tsukuba's Intelligent Interaction Technologies Department is a part of the Graduate School of Systems and Information Engineering. The department offers the degrees Master of Engineering, and Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering. It also participates in the following undergraduate programs: College of Engineering Systems, and College of Computer Science.

The research activities being carried out in the Department of Intelligent Interaction Technologies range from fundamental theoretical work to cutting-edge technologies, both of which are integral parts of planning, designing and constructing engineering systems concerning humans, machines and communications. These activities are concentrated on the following four fields:

(1) System Design
(2) Man-Machine Systems and Robotics
(3) Instrumentation and Control Engineering
(4) Communication Systems

They have the common research goal of fostering human-centered systems, in whole or in part, enabled by computers, machines, and communication systems. The students have opportunities to learn a broad range of subjects, from such constituting technologies as sensors and actuators, to such application technologies as intelligent robots and virtual reality systems. The curriculum is designed to help the students to become capable researchers and engineers, who can identify, formulate and solve challenging problems stemming from such engineering systems, using the knowledge and skills earned in the program.

We value the following features of our department:(i) Undertake the object-oriented approach for designing systems that are useful and truly called for, with the viewpoint of the users. (ii) Promote a well-balanced sense for making an optimal combination of functions achievable with hardware and intelligence realizable through software. (iii)Strive for systems that can cope with a wide variety of goals and environmental conditions, though actions, learning, adaptation and interaction with humans.
