When researchers are asked what they aspire to achieve, they almost invariably say, "good research." Yet when asked what makes research good, they often find the question surprisingly difficult to answer. For me, good research addresses real-world problems and creates meaningful impact on society. It has a compelling story about how research can make a difference, and, importantly, the research journey itself can be exciting and enjoyable. Drawing on more than 50 years of research in computer vision, robotics, and artificial intelligence at Kyoto University and Carnegie Mellon University, I will share my experiences and perspectives on what makes research both impactful and fun. I will discuss the excitement of the entire research lifecycle: from conceiving and developing ideas, to obtaining and communicating results, and to building and managing the teams and efforts needed to turn ideas into reality.
