Intelligent Mechanical Systems Laboratory
Human-centric robotics friendly to people
We research mainly robots, a classic intelligent machine, with the aim of developing technologies useful to society by producing novel concepts and making them reality. We are dedicated to making machines used in daily life highly functional with the use of robot technologies. It is important to nurture the concept of robot systems in society and raise awareness about how such robots can be useful. We proactively collaborate with companies and other universities to meet the needs of society.
