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.
