In Robotics Laboratory, we are developing "next-generation robots" toward practical use. Our research topics are roughly classified into the following two topics:
- Industrial Robotic System : High-speed parallel mechanisms, force sensors with parallel structure, etc.
- Medical and Rehabilitation Robotic System : Rehabilitation robotic systems for efficient motor function recovery training of stroke patients, etc.
Details of the research topics can be seen here.
