The main research fields of this laboratory are human and life support engineering and accessible design, with a focus on assistive technologies and their evaluation for people with disabilities, older adults, and people with dementia. We are researching the development and integration of technologies for the product and environmental design of assistive devices tailored to physical, cognitive, and physiological characteristics, system development for institutional and home care, development of effective assistive devices and evaluation methods, and social acceptability of assistive devices and mobility. In collaboration with researchers in the social sciences, we are investigating the utilization of assistive devices by longevity in local fields. In international joint research, we are studying “care literacy.” Our goal is to clarify the relationship between people and assistive devices in their daily lives, which change with social changes. We also aim to develop valuable devices and support systems by extending the engineering framework to examine life and living from various perspectives, including cognitive science, social science, nursing, and medicine.
