Antagonist Inhibition Control in Redundant Tendon-driven Structures Based on Human Reciprocal Innervation for Wide Range Limb Motion of Musculoskeletal Humanoids
Kento Kawaharazuka, Masaya Kawamura, Shogo Makino +3
The body structure of an anatomically correct tendon-driven musculoskeletal humanoid is complex, and the difference between its geometric model and the actual robot is very large b…
Human Mimetic Forearm Design with Radioulnar Joint using Miniature Bone-Muscle Modules and Its Applications
Kento Kawaharazuka, Shogo Makino, Masaya Kawamura +4
The human forearm is composed of two long, thin bones called the radius and the ulna, and rotates using two axle joints. We aimed to develop a forearm based on the body proportion,…
A Method of Joint Angle Estimation Using Only Relative Changes in Muscle Lengths for Tendon-driven Humanoids with Complex Musculoskeletal Structures
Kento Kawaharazuka, Shogo Makino, Masaya Kawamura +3
Tendon-driven musculoskeletal humanoids typically have complex structures similar to those of human beings, such as ball joints and the scapula, in which encoders cannot be install…
Online Learning of Joint-Muscle Mapping Using Vision in Tendon-driven Musculoskeletal Humanoids
Kento Kawaharazuka, Shogo Makino, Masaya Kawamura +3
The body structures of tendon-driven musculoskeletal humanoids are complex, and accurate modeling is difficult, because they are made by imitating the body structures of human bein…
Online Self-body Image Acquisition Considering Changes in Muscle Routes Caused by Softness of Body Tissue for Tendon-driven Musculoskeletal Humanoids
Kento Kawaharazuka, Shogo Makino, Masaya Kawamura +4
Tendon-driven musculoskeletal humanoids have many benefits in terms of the flexible spine, multiple degrees of freedom, and variable stiffness. At the same time, because of its bod…
High-Power, Flexible, Robust Hand: Development of Musculoskeletal Hand Using Machined Springs and Realization of Self-Weight Supporting Motion with Humanoid
Shogo Makino, Kento Kawaharazuka, Masaya Kawamura +3
Human can not only support their body during standing or walking, but also support them by hand, so that they can dangle a bar and others. But most humanoid robots support their bo…
Five-fingered Hand with Wide Range of Thumb Using Combination of Machined Springs and Variable Stiffness Joints
Shogo Makino, Kento Kawaharazuka, Ayaka Fujii +7
Human hands can not only grasp objects of various shape and size and manipulate them in hands but also exert such a large gripping force that they can support the body in the situa…
