Prof. UMEZU Shinjiro

• Developments of robot system for surgery, welfare and nursing
• Applications of technologies in medical robotics to maintenance of infrastructures
• Applications of robot technology to sports science

Development of Intuitive Teleoperation Robot using the Human Measurement

• Medical robotics technology applied to infrastructure inspection
• Intuitive interface to operate a different structural robot from human body
• Embody the image to grab and operate a robot for filling the physical difference from human and robot (embodiment)

Research on Instantaneous High-power Motion Generation by Whole-body Coordination of a Humanoid Robot

• Robot joint mechanism capable of instantaneous high power demonstration
• Whole-body coordinated motion generation method cooperate with elasticity of multiple joints

Research on Sensibility, Recognition and Assistive Technology

• Sensibility and Recognition: Hardness identification is one of the most important tactile senses in humans. This study investigates the differential threshold of hardness for different finger postures of pressing.
• Motion Analysis: The identification system of Locomotive Syndrome by analyzing three-dimensional joint kinematics data during walking is developed.
• Application of the motor illusion: Vibratory stimulation of the tendon of the agonist’s muscle causes a motor illusion. This study examines the possibility of application to rehabilitation for paralysis caused by stroke.
