About

Daisuke Uriu is a leading researcher in human-computer interaction and robotics, whose work redefines the boundaries of human augmentation and cybernetics. His primary research areas include supernumerary robotic limbs, digital cyborgs, and the concept of the "JIZAI Body"—a framework allowing individuals to seamlessly control or delegate control of their natural and extended bodies across physical and cyberspace. Uriu’s major contributions include the development of JIZAI ARMS, a wearable robotic limb system with six terminals and detachable appendages, designed through a collaborative process that challenges traditional cyborg narratives. His paper "Cyborgs, Human Augmentation, Cybernetics, and JIZAI Body" (2022, 32 citations) and "Social Digital Cyborgs: The Collaborative Design Process of JIZAI ARMS" (2023, 31 citations) have garnered significant attention, establishing him as a pioneer in this emerging field. Additionally, his work on "Dynamic Motor Skill Synthesis with Human-Machine Mutual Actuation" (2020, 18 citations) introduces a novel approach to coupling robotic capability with human ability in dynamic tasks like throwing. Uriu’s research not only advances technical innovation but also provokes critical discussions on identity, agency, and the future of human-machine integration.
