A paper on a mechanical model of flexible fingers made of flexible materials has been accepted and published in Advanced Robotics! We are proposing a method to model the creep behavior in which deformation continues in response to a constant force and the variation in the state of motion that changes from trial to trial using a combination of viscoelastic elements and stochastic parameters. The…
Our lab members, Mr. Honji (D3), Mr. Nakamura (M2), and Mr. Usukhbayar (M2) gave presentations at the 41st Annual Conference of the Robotics Society of Japan held in Sendai, Japan from September 11 (Mon.) to 14 (Thu.), 2023. Please refer to the proceedings for details.
Prof. Hikaru Arita’s paper on avoidance motion of manipulators using areal distributed proximity sensors has been accepted and published in Advanced Robotics! The paper describes a manipulator’s avoidance maneuver against an obstacle using a flexible areal distributed proximity sensor sheet attached to the entire manipulator link. You can get the article from the Website.
Our paper on the end-point viscoelastic control using a musculoskeletal redundant arm has been accepted and published in Advanced Robotics! We propose a method to realize a desired viscoelastic ellipsoid of the end-point in the presence of redundant joints and muscles. You can get the article from the Website.
Our paper on torque control using antagonistically arranged rotating nylon thread artificial muscles has been published in Journal of the Robotics Society of Japan. You can get the article from J-STAGE (in Japanese).
Our paper about the impact reduction control using a proximity sensor was accepted by a top journal in robotics, IEEE Transaction on Robotics (T-RO). You can early-access to this article, please take a look!
Our lab members, Assist. Prof. Arita, Mr. Nakamura (M2), Mr. Yamamoto (M1), and Mr. Mori (M1)* gave presentations at JSME Conference on Robotics and Mechatronics 2023 held from June 28 to July 1, 2023 in Nagoya. Please see the proceedings for details. *he belonged to the lab last year.
Newly five fourth-year undergraduate students have joined the laboratory. We are looking forward to working with you again this year!
