Flexible Morphing Aerial Robot with Inflatable Structure for Perching-based Human-Robot Interaction
Ayano Miyamichi, Moju Zhao, Kazuki Sugihara +5
Birds in nature perform perching not only for rest but also for interaction with human such as the relationship with falconers. Recently, researchers achieve perching-capable aeria…
DIJE: Dense Image Jacobian Estimation for Robust Robotic Self-Recognition and Visual Servoing
Yasunori Toshimitsu, Kento Kawaharazuka, Akihiro Miki +2
For robots to move in the real world, they must first correctly understand the state of its own body and the tools that it holds. In this research, we propose DIJE, an algorithm to…
Optimization-based Posture Generation for Whole-body Contact Motion by Contact Point Search on the Body Surface
Masaki Murooka, Kei Okada, Masayuki Inaba
Whole-body contact is an effective strategy for improving the stability and efficiency of the motion of robots. For robots to automatically perform such motions, we propose a postu…
Development of a Five-Fingerd Biomimetic Soft Robotic Hand by 3D Printing the Skin and Skeleton as One Unit
Kazuhiro Miyama, Kento Kawaharazuka, Kei Okada +1
Robot hands that imitate the shape of the human body have been actively studied, and various materials and mechanisms have been proposed to imitate the human body. Although the use…
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…
