Human modeling and augmentation

In order to enjoy our daily lives as we age, it is important to retain the sensation of moving our own bodies as we wish and of feeling various things for ourselves. Tools and information technology have the potential to overcome the barriers and limitations of our physical abilities and bring us unknown experiences. To realize this, we are developing human-augmentation devices that extend and improve the functions and capabilities of human movement and sensation.

Digital haptic/force design and their applications to computer interface

In order to make it easier for people to operate computers and robotic systems, an interface is necessary to convey human intentions to the system in a more intuitive manner. It is also important to design a feedback response to show that the system understands the human intention. Therefore, we are developing computer interfaces that focus on human perceptual characteristics, especially haptic and force perception.

Smart coaching technology for rehabilitation training

The average life expectancy in Japan is said to be about 85 years, and it is estimated that 40% of the population will be elderly by 2030. In order to cope with the decline in physical functions that occurs as people age, it is necessary to continue exercise habits and highly efficient training on one's own after rehabilitation treatment at medical institutions is completed. However, it is not easy to train independently at home. In addition, there are more and more cases where it is difficult to physically go to the hospital due to geographical and physical factors. Therefore, we are developing an AI smart coaching technology that promotes proactive skill improvement based on wearable sensing, actuation, and physical skill understanding with a simple and small number of components, in order to realize a "smart society that enjoys a long and healthy life" using AI technology.
