AboutAbout the lab
Be the first penguin!!
The Hashimoto Lab studies robotics and measurement technologies in areas such as human-robot interaction, medical care and welfare, and sports.
On the lab's website, research is divided into four categories: “Human-Robot Interaction,” “Medical & Welfare Engineering,” “Sports Engineering,” and “Variety Pack.”
The top page of the lab's website carries the phrase “Be the first penguin!!”
Key terms
- Swallowing
- The act of taking food or drink down the throat. This lab works on assessing swallowing function.
- Biosignals
- Signals that can be measured from the body. In this lab, they are used in areas such as emotion recognition and motion measurement.
- Musculoskeletal analysis
- Analyzing the movement of muscles and the skeleton. It is listed under medical and welfare engineering.
ResearchResearch themes
The Hashimoto Lab conducts research in four areas: human-robot interaction, medical care and welfare, sports, and a “Variety pack.” The lab's website introduces the content of each area as a list of items.
