Professor
Yoshihiko Nakamura
Having started robotics research from kinematic redundancy and its optimization, Professor Nakamura’s most recent research interest is in the humanoid robotics that includes the design and control of humanoid robots and the human-robot interaction by symbolic and linguistic interpretation of movement. He recently developed small-size electro-hydrostatic actuators for humanoid robots, and a neuro-musculoskeletal model for neuro-biomechanical simulation of human movement. He currently works on the human-digital-twin technology that covers from capturing human motion from natural image, automatic biomechanical motion analysis, data science from automatic archival of human motion data, to digitizing sports movements in the open court and ground.
