Teikyo UniversityFaculty of Science and EngineeringDepartment of Mechanical and Precision Systems Associate ProfessorYoshito Ikemata
2006 Completed doctoral course at Nagoya Institute of Technology Graduate School. In Graduate School, he worked on research on passive walking robots. After graduating from Graduate School school, he became a specially appointed Assistant Professor at Nagoya Institute of Technology, and further focused on research on passive walking robots. In 2009, a passive walking robot developed by a team from the same university was certified as Guinness World Records? for achieving continuous walking for over 13 hours. Since 2011, he has been working at the University of Tsukuba Graduate School. Since 2012, he has been assigned to the Faculty of Science and Technology, Teikyo Faculty of Science and Engineering.
To summarize this report ...
In order to achieve the SDGs, it is essential to pursue principles in all fields, and to advance various research and take action accordingly.
Research on passive walking robots started in Canada around 1980
It is a mechanism that walks only by the pendulum motion on the downhill without using power etc.
It is also attracting attention as a research that can move without using electricity etc.
Initially, the limit was a few steps, but a research team at Nagoy
