Adaptive Cost-Map-based Path Planning in Partially Unknown Environments with Movable Obstacles
Liviu-Mihai Stan, Ranulfo Bezerra, Shotaro Kojima +4
Reliable navigation in disaster-response and other unstructured indoor settings requires robots not only to avoid obstacles but also to recognise when those obstacles can be pushed…
Reproduction of High-frequency Vibration Experience by a Sensory Equivalent Conversion Method for the Standard Haptic SDK of Meta Quest 3
Daito Igarashi, Masashi Konyo, Satoshi Tadokoro
In recent years, there has been a growing demand for realistic haptic experiences in VR. This study employs the Intensity Segment Modulation (ISM) method to convert high-frequency…
Out-of-body Localization of Virtual Vibration Sources Using a Limited Numbers of Transducers on the Torso
Gen Ohara, Masashi Konyo, Satoshi Tadokoro
Stereohaptic vibration is an innovative vibrotactile technology that extends the conventional tactile localization to the surrounding space, representing a virtual vibration source…
Conveying Surroundings Information of a Robot End-Effector by Adjusting Controller Button Stiffness
Noel Alejandro Avila Campos, Masashi Konyo, Ranulfo Bezerra +2
This study addresses the challenge of low dexterity in teleoperation tasks caused by limited sensory feedback and visual occlusion. We propose a novel approach that integrates hapt…
Measurement and Interpolation for Data-Driven Pressure Distribution Rendering on a Finger Pad
Kazuya Sase, Rei Onodera, Hikaru Nagano +1
We propose a data-driven pressure distribution rendering method that uses the interpolation of experimentally obtained pressure values. The pressure data were collected using a pre…
Vibrotactile Feedback for a Remote Operated Robot with Noise Subtraction Based on Perceived Intensity
Ryoma Yamawaki, Takeru Shimamura, Noel Alejandro Avila Campos +4
There is a growing demand for teleoperated robots. This paper presents a novel method for reducing vibration noise generated by robot's own motion, which can disrupt the quality of…
Presenting the Sense of Effort through Vibration Based on Force Estimated by Inverse Dynamics in Videos
Ryoma Akai, Masashi Konyo, Satoshi Tadokoro
We present the sense of effort through vibration to help the video viewer understand how the person in the video moves the body. We suppose sense of effort is related to force, so…
Skill Transfer System that Visualizes and Presents Tactile Information in an AR Environment
Takaya Nida, Masamune Waga, Yuta Hamada +4
In recent years, the lack of successors for traditional skills has become an issue. To solve this problem, we propose a skill transfer system that presents tactile information in s…
Inflated Bendable Eversion Cantilever Mechanism with Inner Skeleton for Increased Payload Holding
Tomoya Takahashi, Masahiro Watanabe, Kenjiro Tadakuma +3
Inflatable structures used in soft robotics applications exhibit unique characteristics. In particular, the tip-extension structure, which grows from the tip, can grow without fric…
Retraction Mechanism of Soft Torus Robot with a Hydrostatic Skeleton
Tomoya Takahashi, Masahiro Watanabe, Kenjiro Tadakuma +2
Soft robots have attracted much attention in recent years owing to their high adaptability. Long articulated soft robots enable diverse operations, and tip-extending robots that na…
Internally-Balanced Magnetic Mechanisms Using Magnetic Spring for Producing Large Amplified Clamping Force
Tori Shimizu, Kenjiro Tadakuma, Masahiro Watanabe +3
To detach a permanent magnet with a controlled force much smaller than its original attractive force, the Internally-Balanced Magnetic Unit (IB Magnet) was invented and has been ap…
Radial-Layer Jamming Mechanism for String Configuration
Rio Mukaide, Kenjiro Tadakuma, Masahiro Watanabe +4
Grippers can be attached to objects in a rigid mode, and they are therefore used in various applications, for example granular jamming gripper. This paper introduces a cutting-edge…
Floating Displacement-Force Conversion Mechanism as a Robotic Mechanism
Kenjiro Tadakuma, Tori Shimizu, Sosuke Hayashi +4
To attach and detach permanent magnets with an operation force smaller than their attractive force, Internally-Balanced Magnetic Unit (IB Magnet) has been developed. The unit utili…
