HACARUS Inc. is a startup company in Kyoto, providing data science services using AI technology. Our goal is to build “Intelligence to coexist with people.” HACARUS offers a specialised artificial intelligence package called "HACARUS - X", that adopts the method of sparse modeling. Sparse modeling differentiates from current mainstream deep learning in the ability to generate results from small amounts of data. With this technology, we are able to offer "lightweight", "safe" and “explainable”"" solutions. We currently build solutions with a focus on medical and industrial use cases. --- AI solutions for industrial use cases In the industrial field, in order to minimize disposal in the production line and to increase efficiency and profitability, it is important to immediately detect and reduce defects. Through HACARUS' AI solution, our customers are able to quickly identify causes and minimize production defects. Previous project examples include solar panel hot spot detection, building maintenance and so on. ・Case Study：Detecting areas for repair on a building wall with drone aerial images (iRobotics) https://hacarus.com/ai-solutions/case-study-irobotics/ --- Image / Video analysis based AI Understanding the number of visitors and customers is critical to any business, still it is difficult to continuously observe the number of visitors and their behavior at public places.By using image / video analysis technology provided by HACARUS, we can detect visitor behavior, number of visitors and predict the number of future visitors. By applying this technology, there are a wide range of possibilities for applications such as equipment monitoring, intrusion detection, defect detection and so on. --- AI solution for Clinical research · Diagnosis · Medical Treatment Support HACARUS has been involved in the healthcare field and build expertise since the company was founded in 2014. Using HACARUS' analysis technology, we can use basic health parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate, activity level, brain CT and MRI to support patient diagnosis and treatment. Currently, we participate in a medical study jointly with a major international pharmaceutical company. --- Embedded · FPGA low power AI solution HACARUS' AI solution is characterized by its ability to operate with low computing resources and low power consumption. Based on this feature, we are developing FPGA chip based AI technology, for easy incorporation into devices such as cameras, routers, and industrial equipment. We are introducing the technology to embedded devices, and we are currently developing jointly with routers manufacturing companies.
