研究実績の概要 |
The purpose of this research is to develop and evaluate an upper body-based shared control system for assistive mobility devices. In the past year, I focused the main attention on the improvement of the torso control system, which is one of the main parts of this research. I have investigated two methods for improving the torso control system which I developed in the previous research, the first one focused on a new controller, the second method focused on a new mechanism, both methods aimed to improve the coupling between the human and the robot. For the second one, I conducted experiments to verify the effectiveness. The preliminary results and methodology were presented in an international conference.

理由
The research is a bit delayed compared with the original proposal. The biggest reason is that I was trying to solve a challenging robotics problem which delayed the publication of paper. If I was focusing more on the user study, the publication could have already been done. However, I think the robotics problem that I was dealing with is very meaningful and will have a good impact in the future with my proposed solution. The second reason of the delay is my internship at a national research institute of Japan, I conducted research and published a paper based on the outcome of internship. I believe this multi-field experience is not only helpful for me to become a better researcher but also beneficial for me to solve the problem in my JSPS research proposal.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
I plan to submit a paper to an international journal as a summary of my research topic related to the torso control. In order to achieve that, a complete user study is required. This is expected to finish before July. As a further step I will continue my research in the torso control based on my proposal of a new controller. At the same time, I plan to visit ETHz to conduct a collaboration research to deepen my understanding of control interface and shared control on personal mobility devices. A research paper is expected to be an outcome, I will work closely with a startup, which is helpful for me to understand the practical problem and needs in the real world.
