About
Mitsuru Muramatsu is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, wearable robotics, and cybernetic augmentation. His work fundamentally reimagines the human body as a platform for technological extension, challenging traditional boundaries between biology and machine. Muramatsu’s most notable contribution is the development of **JIZAI ARMS**, a supernumerary robotic limb system that allows users to attach and detach up to six robotic arms from a wearable base unit. This system, detailed in his highly cited 2023 paper (31 citations), operationalizes the concept of the “social digital cyborg”—a vision where humans collaboratively design and share augmentations, moving beyond individual enhancement to collective, customizable cyborg identities. By creating a modular, social platform for robotic limbs, Muramatsu has shifted the discourse from assistive technology to a new paradigm of human expression and interaction. His work has been featured in major venues like ACM CHI and SIGGRAPH, and continues to inspire researchers in human augmentation, embodied interaction, and the future of work. With his JIZAI ARMS project, Muramatsu is not just building robots; he is prototyping the next stage of human evolution.
