Study on kinesthetic illusion
aimed at use of kinesthetic illusion that a particular range of vibration to the human body modulates the intended motion, into a robotic system for human support.
Upper limb exoskeleton robot
is a wearable robot developed to support Activities of Daily Living, involving multi-sensor system such as muscle and brain activity sensors.
Lower limb exoskeleton robot
is a wearable robot developed to support Activities of Daily Living, involving multi-sensor system such as muscle activity sensors.

Welcome to System Engineering Lab in Kyushu University

Our research focuses on the development of new Robotic devices in order to promote the improved effectiveness in clinical practice as well as quality of life for the users. Robotic technology involves many components such as mechanism, control, sensor and software. We believe that the creative ingenuity is the source for introducing the robotic technology into the human-centered medical applications beyond the conventional industrial technologies. One example of our study is the development of a wearable assistive robot that can provide natural motion of the user combined with new mechanism and intelligent control. We are especially interested in the area of new mechanism, soft robotics, brain-machine interface, human-machine interaction, fuzzy control, and machine learning.
