Human Machine System Laboratory

Building safe and secure mechanical systems

Building mechanical systems that are safe and reassuring requires addressing the properties of humans and machines in combination rather than separately, a concept called “human-machine systems.” Our laboratory uses this concept in research on futuristic automobiles that are both safe and comfortable. In our experiments, we use a driving simulator developed using virtual reality.

FOR SOCIETY

Although the number of traffic deaths is on the decline, many people still lose their life on the road. We aim to save as many lives as possible by making automobiles more sophisticated using the concept of human-machine systems.

RESEARCH THEMES

Research on evaluating the safety of autonomous driving systems
Research on mapping community driving environments to create driverless, mobility scooters for elderly people
Research on driver-assistance technologies using systems that communicate between vehicles and between vehicles and pedestrians.
Research on driving simulators
