About
Dr. Tatsuki Koga is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics and biomechanics, with a primary focus on understanding human swimming through robotic simulation. His most notable contribution is the development and application of SWUMANOID, a swimming humanoid robot designed to precisely measure propulsive forces during swimming motions—a task nearly impossible with human subjects due to physiological variability. By constructing a controlled experimental setup in a circulating water tank, Dr. Koga enabled the first direct, repeatable measurements of thrust generated by different swimming strokes, providing invaluable data for sports science and robotic design. His 2021 paper on this work has garnered attention for its novel methodology, laying the groundwork for future studies in fluid dynamics and assistive swimming devices. Dr. Koga’s research bridges engineering and athletics, offering a unique tool to optimize swimmer performance and develop more efficient underwater robots. His work stands as a testament to how humanoid robotics can unlock new insights into human movement.
