The lecture and discussion on the human centric robot technology based on the basic robotics. Recently, robot technology is
strongly expected to support the elderly people. Because it is a big problem that Japan has become the declining birthrate
and aging society. In such a case, the robot technology has to cope with human. The concept on human centric or human centered
is very important including design, safety problem, regulation and so on. We will discuss them from the practical point of
view.
The students study how to design a robot around the elderly people, and recognize the technical and social problems. These
aspects will help the students to develop the products in the company in the future.
- Understand the concept of the human centric robot (HCR)
- Understand the current situation of HCR
- Enhance the ability of design for HCR

Report 1 50% and Report 2 50% are evaluated. Student with more than 60% of the combined score will be given credit. The level
of 60% is that students can explain a robot for human assist from the human centric point of view discussed in this class
such as control, mechanism and safety.
Nobuto Matsuhira and Junji Ooaki: Introduction of robot system(ver. 3), in Japanese. International conference proceedings
on robotics such as IROS, ARSO.
It is preferable to have knowledge on robotics and check the web news on recent robots.
