In our lab, we aim to control human–environment–machine interactions.

In other words, we seek to realize "the control of robots that supports humans".

You can see videos on our research here.

Present issues

　　　　　□The difficulty of manufacturing multiple degrees of freedom robots.（Hardware）

　　　　　〇The difficultness of the flexible control which considers the touch with humans（Software）

Approaches in Motion Control Laboratory

　　　　　□Hardware　⇒　Control of the human body by functional electrical stimulation

　　　　　〇Software　⇒　Bilateral control, Force control, Deep learning

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is bilateral control?

　　　　　・Tactile communication by using robots comes true.（The third communication media following audio and vision.）

　　　　　・It enables motions that cannot be realized without robots.
