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. Established 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 solve significantly difficult and diverse problems that no one in the world has yet found solutions for, contributing to society through creative robot development. *For more details, please check the related links below or contact us.*

basic information
What HERO Lab. Aims For 1. As a member of the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) group, we will proactively challenge the development of various decommissioning robots necessary for the decommissioning work at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. 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 be beneficial to society, such as the "Optical Sensor Seismometer System" using optical earthquake sensors provided by Hakusan Kogyo, 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
A machine that processes a foil with a thickness of 8μm into a 10mm wide slit and winds it over a length of 10km, a system that supports the assessment of damage level for each floor of high-rise buildings during an earthquake, and a building earthquake response sharing system using sensor cloud technology. Each of these products is our precious creation. The joy of aiming for something innovative, rather than just an extension of what has come before. The delight in creating something interesting that no one else in the world has made. For this joy and pleasure, Hakusan exists.
