About
Yusuke Ejiri is a pioneering researcher in sports biomechanics, with a specialized focus on the fluid dynamics of human swimming. His work bridges the gap between robotics and athletic performance, most notably through the development of the "swimmer mannequin robot"—a novel experimental apparatus designed to isolate and measure the unsteady fluid forces acting on a swimmer's trunk. In his highly cited 2012 study, Ejiri used this robot to validate and refine the SWUM (Swimming Human Simulation Model), a computational framework developed by his research group. This work provided critical empirical data for modeling the complex, time-varying drag and lift forces that swimmers experience, enabling more accurate simulations of stroke mechanics. With 10 citations, this foundational paper has influenced subsequent studies in both competitive swimming technique and the design of assistive aquatic devices. Ejiri's contributions are essential for students and researchers seeking to understand the intersection of robotics, fluid mechanics, and human motion, offering a rigorous, data-driven approach to optimizing swimming performance.
