A Reconfigurable Fabric Based Pneumatic Actuator with Button Fastened Constraint Modules for Multi Mode Actuation
Kentaro Kimura, Hiroki Ishizuka, Yusuke Sakaue +2
Soft pneumatic actuators are widely used in soft robotics. However, their actuation modes are typically fixed by internal chamber designs or reinforcements, making post fabrication…
External Photoreflective Tactile Sensing Based on Surface Deformation Measurement
Seiichi Yamamoto, Hiroki Ishizuka, Takumi Kawasetsu +6
We present a tactile sensing method enabled by the mechanical compliance of soft robots; an externally attachable photoreflective module reads surface deformation of silicone skin…
A self-healing tactile sensor using an optical waveguide
Seiichi Yamamoto, Hiroki Ishizuka, Sei Ikeda +1
We propose an optical tactile sensor using self-healing materials. The proposed tactile sensor consists of a structure that includes a diode, a phototransistor, and an optical wave…
Fixation-based Self-calibration for Eye Tracking in VR Headsets
Ryusei Uramune, Sei Ikeda, Hiroki Ishizuka +1
This study proposes a novel self-calibration method for eye tracking in a virtual reality (VR) headset. The proposed method is based on the assumptions that the user's viewpoint ca…
