We are working on research and development of field robots and service robots under the theme of "How can we successfully generate the motion of objects with mass and shape and the forces acting on them, and how can we utilize them for society?" This is true for cases such as when a robotic arm moves an object to a target location with high speed and repeatability, or when a robot itself reaches a location that is inaccessible to humans. We are studying the actuation of robots, and other physical objects to give them energy, convert them into motion, and manipulate them from the viewpoint of mechanism and control.
