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.
Tactile sensing is a
nonlinear phenomenon because of the contact problem. Furthermore, the
brain's experience of tactile sensation is caused by a complex nonlinear
system. Therefore tactile sensing relates closely to complex systems
science. We expect that complex systems science will inform tactile
sensing and vice versa. We pursue new discoveries via investigation of
the relationship between tactile sensing and complex systems science.
