Lecture Title: Technology Connecting Humans and Robots

Lecturer: Takahiro Nozaki, Associate Professor, Department of System Design Engineering, Faculty of Science and Technology, Keio University

In this lecture, I will introduce Real Haptics—a technology that quantifies the gentle, flexible movements humans make when interacting with objects, along with the characteristics of the objects they come into contact with, and reproduces the motions artificially using robots. By sharing practical applications, I will demonstrate how this technology enables the digitization of a wide variety of movements and man-dependent tasks　that were previously difficult to achieve with conventional electric devices, thereby enhancing human activities.
