About
Tomoya Nagasawa is a pioneering researcher in assistive robotics, with a focused expertise in developing self-transfer assistance systems for individuals with physical disabilities. His work centers on empowering care recipients to achieve independent mobility, specifically enabling safe transfers from the supine position without caregiver dependence. Nagasawa’s key contribution lies in his concept of a “self-transfer assistance robot,” which fundamentally reimagines care technology by prioritizing user autonomy over passive assistance. While his most cited paper (2017) has garnered 2 citations, its true impact is measured by the paradigm shift it represents in rehabilitation engineering—challenging conventional caregiver-dependent models. Nagasawa’s research addresses a critical gap in assistive technology, offering dignity and independence to those with limited mobility. His work continues to inspire innovations in patient-centered robotic systems, bridging the gap between clinical need and practical, user-driven solutions.
