Stability Recognition with Active Vibration for Bracing Behaviors and Motion Extensions Using Environment in Musculoskeletal Humanoids
Kento Kawaharazuka, Manabu Nishiura, Shinsuke Nakashima +7
Although robots with flexible bodies are superior in terms of the contact and adaptability, it is difficult to control them precisely. On the other hand, human beings make use of t…
Reflex-based Motion Strategy of Musculoskeletal Humanoids under Environmental Contact Using Muscle Relaxation Control
Kento Kawaharazuka, Kei Tsuzuki, Moritaka Onitsuka +6
The musculoskeletal humanoid can move well under environmental contact thanks to its body softness. However, there are few studies that actively make use of the environment to rest…
Online Learning of Danger Avoidance for Complex Structures of Musculoskeletal Humanoids and Its Applications
Kento Kawaharazuka, Naoki Hiraoka, Yuya Koga +6
The complex structure of musculoskeletal humanoids makes it difficult to model them, and the inter-body interference and high internal muscle force are unavoidable. Although variou…
Applications of Stretch Reflex for the Upper Limb of Musculoskeletal Humanoids: Protective Behavior, Postural Stability, and Active Induction
Kento Kawaharazuka, Yuya Koga, Kei Tsuzuki +5
The musculoskeletal humanoid has various biomimetic benefits, and it is important that we can embed and evaluate human reflexes in the actual robot. Although stretch reflex has bee…
Exceeding the Maximum Speed Limit of the Joint Angle for the Redundant Tendon-driven Structures of Musculoskeletal Humanoids
Kento Kawaharazuka, Yuya Koga, Kei Tsuzuki +5
The musculoskeletal humanoid has various biomimetic benefits, and the redundant muscle arrangement is one of its most important characteristics. This redundancy can achieve fail-sa…
Design Optimization of Musculoskeletal Humanoids with Maximization of Redundancy to Compensate for Muscle Rupture
Kento Kawaharazuka, Yasunori Toshimitsu, Manabu Nishiura +6
Musculoskeletal humanoids have various biomimetic advantages, and the redundant muscle arrangement allowing for variable stiffness control is one of the most important. In this stu…
