Research Projects

  • Development of a self care support system based on electroencephalography

    The project aims to support individual self-care of mental and physical health using a brain-machine interface based on electroencephalography. Brain activity signals are expected to reveal mental fluctuation and motion adjustment ability so that individuals can monitor mental and physical conditions and find covert risks before they becomes serious symptoms. The proposed system will provide health indices through self-monitoring on daily basis.

  • Visualization and Skill Tradition for knowledge of dexterity

    In this research, we aim to develop equipment and structure that can be passed on to people by visualization.Especially on issues that require the control of the force, to measure and analyze the work of Takumi such as "intuition" or "remember in the body", to understand the problem to the extent possible program.
    Implementation period: December 2018~March 2021
    Related researchers: Natsue Yoshimura, Hiroyuki Kambara, Atsushi Takagi

  • Development of a new brain machine interface based on brain prediction function

    In this research, under the hypothesis that a motion command is generated so as to correct the error between the future state prediction by the movement and the target state, under the hypothesis that this error information is extracted from the brain activity, it seems like to manipulate his / her body We aim to create a brain machine interface that manipulates robots.
    Implementation period: April 2018~March 2019
    Related researchers: Yasuhiro Wada, Hidekazu Yoshida, Ganesh Gowrishankar, Hideyuki Ando, Natsue Yoshimura

  • Development of robot control technology recognizing comfort and integration with people

    IWe aim to develop control technology of robot which can be recognized and operated as a part of the body without being conscious of the machine by being integrated with the person.
    Implementation period: April 2018~March 2021
    Related researchers: Natsue Yoshimura, Hiroyuki Kambara, Atsushi Takagi
