Prof.

Interactive Robotic Systems (IRiS) Lab is dedicated to improving the lives of people by realizing advanced robotic technologies. Our mission is developing the principles, technologies, and human resources in the area of interactive robotic systems, especially targeting field robotics including disaster response, building and construction, mining, agriculture and so on. We are particularly interested in: Telerobotics in extreme environments, Soft Exoskeleton, Autonomous vehicle and Its application to construction robots.
