Jiang Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that supports human movement with welfare and nursing-care robots and electrical stimulation.
AboutAbout the lab
Rebuilding the theoretical framework of engineering with humans at the center
The Jiang Lab researches welfare and nursing-care robots and rehabilitation using electrical stimulation.
It works on sensors that measure biosignals such as myoelectric signals, functional electrical stimulation (FES) for paralyzed limbs, and walking aids that support independent walking in older adults.
The lab's website is shared with the labs of Professor Yokoi and Associate Professor Togo, and the lab is presented there under the name "Yokoi-Jiang-Togo Lab."
Key terms
- Functional electrical stimulation (FES)
- A method of stimulating muscles with electricity to make them contract and produce movement. It is used to restore function in paralyzed limbs.
- Myoelectric prosthetic hand
- A prosthetic hand that can be moved by the movement of the muscles in the arm.
ResearchResearch themes
The Yokoi-Jiang-Togo Lab's main goal is to rebuild the theoretical framework of engineering, and its related technologies, with humans at the center. It explores natural interfaces between humans and machines and between society and machines, as well as technologies that fuse them. Associate Professor Jiang specializes in welfare and nursing-care robots, FES, bioelectric measurement, and motion analysis.
*Illustrative imageMyoelectric sensors and biosignal measurement
The lab mainly develops dry myoelectric sensors for myoelectric prosthetic hands that can be used in everyday life. It is also developing sensors that can acquire biosignals other than myoelectric signals.
*Illustrative imageElectrical stimulation for paralyzed limbs (FES)
To restore function in paralyzed hands and legs, the lab studies functional electrical stimulation (FES). It searches for stimulation waveforms that cause little pain or discomfort, and develops effective rehabilitation methods using multichannel stimulation.
*Illustrative imageWalking aids that support independent walking
The lab researches and develops walking aids that support independent walking in older adults. It works on robot control methods for providing effective support, and on measuring how people walk.
