Gomi Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that works out the brain information processing behind skillful human movement and applies it to robots.

AboutAbout the lab
Decoding how the brain works and applying it to robots
The Gomi Lab aims to understand the brain information processing that underlies skillful human movements and to apply it.
It seeks to elucidate brain information processing through experiments, analysis, and computational models.
Applying the mechanisms it discovers, the lab is advancing research on flexible, intelligent robots and new interfaces.
It deals with the relationship between vision and movement, motor control that operates unconsciously, and the senses of touch and force.
Key terms
- Brain information processing
- The series of operations in which the brain receives signals from the eyes and hands and turns them into judgments and movement commands
- Computational model
- A way of expressing the workings of the brain or body with equations and programs, and reproducing and testing them through computation
- Interface
- A mechanism that connects humans and machines and lets them exchange information and force
ResearchResearch themes
The Gomi Lab aims to understand and apply the brain information processing that underlies dexterous human movements. It elucidates brain information processing through experiments, analysis, and computational models, and conducts research that produces flexible, intelligent robots and innovative interfaces based on those mechanisms.
