Outline of Final Research Achievements

The perceptive network is a distributed cognitive system in which perception pods, each of which is a small robot capable of imitating the perception function of a living body, and non-invasive portable sensory display devices, perceptual displays, are connected each other in an ad hoc manner. The topology of the network composed of perception pods takes a structure like the neural network of the living body and finally it contributes to the spatial extension of human perception ability, that is, the formation of a logical body sensation which is not restricted by the physical body structure and the physical space. In this research project, we proposed a system architecture of perceptive network based on textile-wearable sensor devices, evaluated it in real space, and discussed its usability as a distributed cognitive system.
