Features: This book is a collection of experiences gathered and organized by Takeo Kanade, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University who managed and nurtured the world's largest robotics research institute. It is a compact volume that not only uses numerous personal anecdotes to describe many effective research principles in an engaging way, such as "broad 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 essential and timely 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 said to be suitable for any reader, as it offers valuable references for problem-solving in their work, studies, and daily lives. It is particularly suitable for college students and graduate students who are contemplating how to cultivate their abilities and develop themselves.
