Our paper on object grasping using a large linkage-type three-finger underactuated robotic hand has been accepted for publication in the ROBOMECH Journal. The paper proposes a data-driven method for estimating contact/non-contact and contact force magnitude of the fingertips from the force sensor information of a robot hand, which has a force sensor at the base of the linkage and no tactile sensor at the fingertips.…
On March 25, the graduation ceremony of the university and the completion ceremony of the graduate school were held. 5 undergraduate students, 2 master students and 1 doctor student graduated from our laboratory. Congratulations to all of them! We look forward to their further success in the future.

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…

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!
