In the development of robots for nursing and care, which support care workers with strong force, we focus on fundamental researches and their applications on robust and flexible control, e.g., interaction control between human and robot, simultaneous optimization of structure and control, control for smart materials, etc.
- Mechanism and feedback conytrol for security and comfort
- Improvement of comfort due to sensitivity feedback technology of the person cared
- Communication network to enhance safety and reliability
- Giant power generation by using multi-actuators and dynamics
- Sensor integrated impedance control to support standing and walking
