Robotic Stroke Motion Following the Shape of the Human Back: Motion Generation and Psychological Effects
Akishige Yuguchi, Tomoki Ishikura, Sung-Gwi Cho +2
In this study, to perform the robotic stroke motions following the shape of the human back similar to the stroke motions by humans, in contrast to the conventional robotic stroke m…
Soft-Jig: A Flexible Sensing Jig for Simultaneously Fixing and Estimating Orientation of Assembly Parts
Tatsuya Sakuma, Takuya Kiyokawa, Jun Takamatsu +2
For assembly tasks, it is essential to firmly fix target parts and to accurately estimate their poses. Several rigid jigs for individual parts are frequently used in assembly facto…
Robotic Waste Sorter with Agile Manipulation and Quickly Trainable Detector
Takuya Kiyokawa, Hiroki Katayama, Yuya Tatsuta +2
Owing to human labor shortages, the automation of labor-intensive manual waste-sorting is needed. The goal of automating waste-sorting is to replace the human role of robust detect…
Toward an Affective Touch Robot: Subjective and Physiological Evaluation of Gentle Stroke Motion Using a Human-Imitation Hand
Tomoki Ishikura, Akishige Yuguchi, Yuki Kitamura +6
Affective touch offers positive psychological and physiological benefits such as the mitigation of stress and pain. If a robot could realize human-like affective touch, it would op…
Assembly Sequences Based on Multiple Criteria Against Products with Deformable Parts
Takuya Kiyokawa, Jun Takamatsu, Tsukasa Ogasawara
Aiming to generate easy-to-handle assembly sequences for robotic assembly, this study tackles assembly sequence generation by considering two tradeoff objectives: (1) insertion con…
Soft-Jig-Driven Assembly Operations
Takuya Kiyokawa, Tatsuya Sakuma, Jun Takamatsu +1
To design a general-purpose assembly robot system that can handle objects of various shapes, we propose a soft jig that fits to the shapes of assembly parts. The functionality of t…
Control of Walking Assist Exoskeleton with Time-delay Based on the Prediction of Plantar Force
Ming Ding, Mikihisa Nagashima, Sung-Gwi Cho +2
Many kinds of lower-limb exoskeletons were developed for walking assistance. However, when controlling these exoskeletons, time-delay due to the computation time and the communicat…
