About
Keita Aimoto is a leading researcher in assistive robotics for elderly care, focusing on reducing physical burden on caregivers and improving quality of life for care recipients. His work centers on the real-world deployment and long-term efficacy of transfer support robots, rise-assisting devices, and bathing assist technologies in nursing facilities. Aimoto’s most impactful study (34 citations) identified care tasks suitable for wearable transfer robots through daily-use observations, while his 2022 work (31 citations) demonstrated that sustained use of the “Resyone” robot significantly reduced the need for multiple caregivers. He further showed that rise-assisting robots extend residents’ life space and improve their facial expressions (22 citations). Aimoto has also pioneered clinical pilots on cane-type companion robots for posture stabilization (19 citations) and developed a living laboratory for testing assistive technologies in simulated environments. His research consistently bridges engineering and geriatric care, providing evidence that robotic aids can lower caregivers’ heart rate variability and perceived exertion during tasks. Aimoto’s work is critical for scaling robotic solutions in aging societies, with cumulative citations exceeding 140 across his top publications.
