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…
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…
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…
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…
