Our laboratory is engaged in the research and development of assistive technologies in the fields of sports and welfare.
Specifically, we analyze sports from engineering and information science perspectives, focusing on the evaluation of athletic movements, training, and match analysis. This aims to contribute not only to improving athletic performance but also to preventing and improving sports injuries.
Furthermore, in the welfare field, we promote the research and development of assistive technologies that contribute to improving people’s quality of life (QOL), starting from the evaluation of activities of daily living (ADL).
