DeMaMech: EU-Japan Collaboration in Higher Education Student Exchange Program

Offer of Research Topic

Offer from	University	Hokkaido University
	Faculty/Department/Institute	Division of Systems Science and Informatics, Graduate School of Information Science and Technology
	Group Name	System Sensing and Control
Research Theme		Man-machine interface for wearable robot
Brief Explanation		A sensing system for detecting human motion intention plays a critical role in wearable robots such as power suits. Our laboratory has proposed the sensor suit as a novel wearable sensing system and developed some innovative sensor. In this program, some sensing algorithm for the sensor suit will be established and applied to man-machine interface of power amplifiers.
Research Steps		1. Literature survey (one month) 2. Establishment of robust sensing algorithms for detecting human motion (two month) 3. Evaluation of them (two month)
Period		Five months, but possible to extend to a 10-month project.
Necessary Background, Knowledge, Skills		Fundamental knowledge about image processing. Computer programming skills (C++, MatLab).
