About
Tomoko Terai is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of rehabilitation engineering and human physiology, with a particular focus on assistive robotic technologies. Her most-cited study, "Effects of a cyborg-type robot suit HAL on cardiopulmonary burden during exercise in normal subjects" (2018), has garnered 4 citations and represents a pioneering investigation into the physiological impact of wearable robotic exoskeletons. In this work, Terai examined how the Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) suit—a cyborg-type device—affects cardiopulmonary function during physical activity, providing critical insights into the safety and efficacy of such technologies for both clinical and general use. Her contributions help bridge the gap between robotics and biomedical science, offering foundational data that informs the design of more adaptive, human-centered assistive devices. While her citation count is modest, Terai’s research is notable for its direct relevance to the growing field of human-robot interaction in healthcare, where understanding the body’s response to robotic assistance is essential for advancing rehabilitation protocols and improving quality of life for individuals with mobility impairments.
