Research content

Analysis of gait motions with a prototype of a three-wheeled walking assist device “Raku-WALK”, by using 9-axis motion sensors.


The arch structure of human foot plays important roles in bipedal locomotion. Two-arch structure is introduced into the foot model of biped robot and effects of the arch structure are verified.


Study on hand-gesture-based interface for an omni-directional home mobile robot, using the LeapMotion sensor. Simulations and experiments of operation methods using hand-shape and hand-motion.
