Outline of Final Research Achievements

We succeeded in the development of concurrent optimization of the both skill and equipment simulteneously. It became possible to propose the most suitable equipment and the most suitable skill which produce the world record. Moreover, it also became possible for various athletes who have limited ranges of joint angles to propose the most suitable equipment. We are currently applying for a patent on that method. This method is applied to various plays, and it's the practicing phase which is being utilized to actual manufacturing and player's skill improvement.
