Research Interest

My research aims to develop intuitive, efficient and effortless teleoperation interface for tele-nursing robot. To this end, I assess the physical fatigue of nursing robot teleoperator based on EMG and motion measurement, and OpenSim simulation of human-robot interaction.

Projects

• Shared-autonomous tele-nursing robots
• Physical fatigue in nursing robot teleoperation
