SHAFT: A Slack-Compensating, Helical-Buckling-Attenuating Flexible-Shaft Transmission for Lightweight Multi-DoF Manipulation
Tomoya Takahashi, Moses Gladson Selvamuthu, Richiro Tadakuma +1
Lightweight and slim manipulators enable safe operation in human living environments. Proximal actuation using remote transmission mechanisms, such as wire-driven or Bowden cables,…
Stable In-hand Manipulation for a Lightweight Four-motor Prosthetic Hand
Yuki Kuroda, Tomoya Takahashi, Cristian C. Beltran-Hernandez +2
Electric prosthetic hands should be lightweight to decrease the burden on the user, shaped like human hands for cosmetic purposes, and designed with motors enclosed inside to prote…
SCU-Hand with Integrated Single-Sheet Valve: A Funnel-Shaped Robotic Hand for Milligram-Scale Powder Handling
Tomoya Takahashi, Yusaku Nakajima, Cristian Camilo Beltran-Hernandez +5
Laboratory Automation (LA) has the potential to accelerate solid-state materials discovery by enabling continuous robotic operation without human intervention. While robotic system…
PLEXUS Hand: Lightweight Four-Motor Prosthetic Hand Enabling Precision-Lateral Dexterous Manipulation
Yuki Kuroda, Tomoya Takahashi, Cristian C Beltran-Hernandez +2
Electric prosthetic hands should be lightweight to decrease the burden on the user, shaped like human hands for cosmetic purposes, and have motors inside to protect them from damag…
WAVE: Worm Gear-based Adaptive Variable Elasticity for Decoupling Actuators from External Forces
Moses Gladson Selvamuthu, Tomoya Takahashi, Riichiro Tadakuma +1
Robotic manipulators capable of regulating both compliance and stiffness offer enhanced operational safety and versatility. Here, we introduce Worm Gear-based Adaptive Variable Ela…
Pose Estimation of a Cable-Driven Serpentine Manipulator Utilizing Intrinsic Dynamics via Physical Reservoir Computing
Kazutoshi Tanaka, Tomoya Takahashi, Masashi Hamaya
Cable-driven serpentine manipulators hold great potential in unstructured environments, offering obstacle avoidance, multi-directional force application, and a lightweight design.…
SCU-Hand: Soft Conical Universal Robotic Hand for Scooping Granular Media from Containers of Various Sizes
Tomoya Takahashi, Cristian C. Beltran-Hernandez, Yuki Kuroda +3
Automating small-scale experiments in materials science presents challenges due to the heterogeneous nature of experimental setups. This study introduces the SCU-Hand (Soft Conical…
Visuo-Tactile Zero-Shot Object Recognition with Vision-Language Model
Shiori Ueda, Atsushi Hashimoto, Masashi Hamaya +2
Tactile perception is vital, especially when distinguishing visually similar objects. We propose an approach to incorporate tactile data into a Vision-Language Model (VLM) for visu…
Vision-Language Interpreter for Robot Task Planning
Keisuke Shirai, Cristian C. Beltran-Hernandez, Masashi Hamaya +6
Large language models (LLMs) are accelerating the development of language-guided robot planners. Meanwhile, symbolic planners offer the advantage of interpretability. This paper pr…
