Research Theme

  1. Surgical robot system
    Propose the control method for the surgical robot system with force display and evaluate its performace with in vitro and in vivo experiments.
  2. Haptic device using biological and visual information
    We proposed a hatic device using biological signals and visual information
  3. Forceps manipulator for minimally invasive surgery
    We have developed a pneumatically-driven forceps manipulator with a simple flexible joint for the distal dexterity.
  4. Development of power assist devices using pneumatic actuators
    A grip amplified glove and a jumping assist robot using bi-articular mechanism using pneumatic artificial rubber muscles were developed.
