Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is central for many applications, including hazardous environment inspection and telemedicine. Whereas traditional methods of HCI for teleoperating electromechanical systems include joysticks, levers, or buttons, our research focuses on using electromyography (EMG) signals to improve intuition and response time. An important challenge is to accurately and effici...

In disaster sites, the remote control of construction machinery is required to ensure the safety of the workers. However, the current remote control systems are limited in types of machines and numbers. A remote control system we have developed has advantages in portability and dexterity by using lightweight pneumatic robot arms. The effectiveness of the system has been confirmed with a small t...
