Research objectives and interests
In our laboratory, "Tactile sensing" is
the keyword which encompasses three areas of broad research: sensors
for robots, virtual reality and psychophysics. In recent years our
research has focused on developing hardware and software which would
allow a person to touch, hold, and feel a virtual object via a
mechanical apparatus. The
research activities converge in experimental research including the
following three examples: mathematical modeling of human tactile sensing
recognition mechanism; research on mobile robot cooperative
behavior
acquisition; and research on
humanoid robot
environmental data acquisition using tactile sensing.
