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…
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…
Task-specific Self-body Controller Acquisition by Musculoskeletal Humanoids: Application to Pedal Control in Autonomous Driving
Kento Kawaharazuka, Kei Tsuzuki, Shogo Makino +6
The musculoskeletal humanoid has many benefits that human beings have, but the modeling of its complex flexible body is difficult. Although we have developed an online acquisition…
Modification of muscle antagonistic relations and hand trajectory on the dynamic motion of Musculoskeletal Humanoid
Yuya Koga, Kento Kawaharazuka, Moritaka Onitsuka +6
In recent years, some research on musculoskeletal humanoids is in progress. However, there are some challenges such as unmeasurable transformation of body structure and muscle path…
Component Modularized Design of Musculoskeletal Humanoid Platform Musashi to Investigate Learning Control Systems
Kento Kawaharazuka, Shogo Makino, Kei Tsuzuki +8
To develop Musashi as a musculoskeletal humanoid platform to investigate learning control systems, we aimed for a body with flexible musculoskeletal structure, redundant sensors, a…
