Title:  Mathematics and Computation of Motion Model for Robots and Humans

Robotics research in the past decades founded the mathematical knowledge on the structure of functional robot systems. Optimization and computation for complex robotics systems have been established on the basis of the mathematical knowledge. I was fortunate enough to be at education and research in University of Tokyo in such period. The technology is currently accelerating the research and development on human-robot interaction. Further notable is the fact that the technology also opened mathematical research on human movement and its neuro biomechanical implications. Robot systems in daily life and data-science of human motion data will offer a lot of fun and enthusiasm to young researchers. This lecture will take a quick look back on the time of fun and enthusiasm I had with students, colleagues and collaborators. The lecture will also attempt to make a personal perspective of robotics research in the next decade.
