Multi Degree of Freedom Robot

Robot Hand

We are working on real-world haptics for transmission, extraction, recognition, and reproduction of highly skillful human motions. The objective of this study is realization of physical human actions. Wearable master-slave robots employing bilateral control are used to extract information concerning the human actions. The extracted information is supplied to the slave robot to realize the human actions. The validity of the proposed method has experimentally been verified.

Recoding and Representing of Human Action

Tendon-driven Spherical Joint Mechanism

Maste-slave robos with transmission of force sensation have gotten a lot of attention in the medical care or searching danger area. The operators who handle the master robot can realize safety operation with taking care of the objects or situation in remote area. Transmission of force sensation is realized by 4ch-bilateral control. In order to put the system into the practical use, lightweight and multi-DOF robots are required. Therefore, We developed a tendon-driven spherical joint mechanism and proposed tension control method and 4ch-bilateral control method for the mechanism. Currently, We develop multi-DOF robots with the tendon-driven spherical joint and propose control method for transmission of force sensation with the robot.
