The supernumerary robotic limb system expands the motor function of human users by
adding extra artificially designed limbs. It is important for us to embody the system as if it is a …

We propose a concept called “JIZAI Body” that allows each person to live the way they wish
to live in society. One who acquires a JIZAI Body can (simultaneously) control (or delegate …

Whole-body movements enhance the presence and enjoyment of Virtual Reality (VR)
experiences. However, using large gestures is often uncomfortable and impossible in …

We explored a concept called “virtual co-embodiment”, which enables users to share their
virtual avatars with others. Co-embodiment of avatars and robots can be applied for …

Even if we cannot control them, or when we receive no tactile or proprioceptive feedback
from them, limbs attached to our bodies can still provide indirect proprioceptive and haptic …

Half a century since the concept of a cyborg was introduced, digital cyborgs, enabled by the
spread of wearable robotics, are the focus of much research in recent times. We introduce …

Cyber space enables us to" share" bodies whose movements are a consequence of
movements by several individuals. But whether and how our motor behavior is affected …

The human brain's plasticity allows for the integration of artificial body parts into the human
body. Leveraging this, embodied systems realize intuitive interactions with the environment …

Virtual co-embodiment enables sharing avatars with others in virtual environments and can
be applied for training motor skills by allowing teachers to share movements with learners in …

Surreal experience in virtual reality (VR) occurs when visual experience is accompanied by
congruent somatosensation. Thus, VR contents that require physical actions are often …
