Features: This booklet is a collection of the author's experiences in daily research, life, and learning, compiled by Takeo Kanade, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University who managed and nurtured the world's largest robotics research institute. The book not only vividly describes many effective research principles through numerous personal anecdotes, such as "broad and open-minded thinking," "breaking out of existing success," "KISS method," "driving research progress with scenarios," "intellectual stamina," "starting from 'impossible'," and "perfecting one's ideas through communication with others," but also provides timely and earnest guidance for the next generation of young people who will take on the future in terms of how to conduct research, how to innovate, and what abilities are necessary to achieve certain accomplishments. This book is not only suitable for researchers but should be suitable for any reader, as it offers valuable references for solving problems in their work, study, and daily life. It is particularly suitable for college students and graduate students who are contemplating how to cultivate their abilities and develop themselves.
