Towards a robot nearer to human

Our study are mainly targetting vast subjects of robotics including (but not limited to): flexible body, lithe and natural motions, sensing technologies (hardware and software) to sense various phenomena, intelligent software that can sense, decide and act autonomously, and so on. Those who join us will learn mechanical design, mechatronics, control, software, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, etc., and will create new robots.

Research Field : Robotics and Biomechanics

Understanding human motion from Robotics

We conduct researches in the field of Robotics and human motion dynamics. We develop methods to find dynamics features characterizing humans and that can be understood by robots.
This will help in developing more friendly and personalized robotics systems, and will enhance human-robot interaction.
It also serves to develop medical tools to elaborate, support and evaluate clinical diagnosis and rehabilitation procedures.
The range of applications includes humanoid robotics, medical diagnostic support, rehabilitation monitoring, sport science, entertainment...
We also conduct researches to model, identify and control complex robotic systems such as parallel systems used in earthquake simulators, driving simulators, and humanoid robots.

Towards Mechanical Systems with Robot Technologies (RT) Working in Real World

Electric motors controlled by computer systems enables robots and mechatronic systems move faster and more powerful than human. Such systems with the control technologies support human activities in working, moving, etc. However, it might harm humans if the system made wrong decisions or the system became un-stable. Wheeled mobile robots, motion control of electric vehicles, and human-machine interface of mechatronics systems are researched and developed in WADA lab. which covered wide area of engineering technology includes machine design, electric circuit design, programming, and control theories,
