Words from the President
Message
Thank you for visiting our website.
My name is Sakamoto Yasukazu, and I serve as the President of Rokken Inc.
Rokken Inc. derives its name from the "Sixth Laboratory of Intelligent Information Engineering," abbreviated as Rokken, which was managed by Professor Hiroshi Tsuji, the former president of Osaka Prefecture University, during his tenure in the Department of Intelligent Information Engineering.
As our company name suggests, we operate as a research-oriented system implementation company with an academic research mindset, motivated to undertake commissioned development projects that extend to societal implementation, which is often unattainable during master's or doctoral programs.
We employ individuals with experience in AI research and Computer Graphics both domestically and internationally, who are constantly honing their skills. While it is common to use Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) for AI implementation, our Computer Graphics developers are proficient in handling GPU/CUDA, allowing us to consistently handle projects from AI development to Computer Graphics, which is a unique feature of our company.
We have a particularly strong relationship with medical device manufacturers and are capable of developing software in compliance with IEC62304 in the medical field. If you have an idea you wish to bring to societal implementation, please feel free to contact us. We would be honored to support your challenges.
