This paper presents an innovative continuous autofocus (C-AF) approach based on high-speed vision. It consistently provides focused images with stable and sufficiently high frame rates, aiming to improve the ability to track small, fast-moving objects in a highly magnified scene. To achieve this, we…
This study proposes a dual-camera system for indoor high magnification surveillance which is capable of achieving always-in-focus and non-delay gaze control based on high-speed vision. The users are enabled to move the mouse freely on the wide-view screen while observing its in-focal zoom-in monitor…
In recent years, research and development have been carried out on manipulators equipped with multi-fingered robot hands as end-effectors to perform delicate and dexterous tasks. In high-speed movement of such multi-fingered hand-arms, the weight of the multi-fingered hands slows down the response o…
In recent years, there have been many studies on sports robots that can play against humans, including studies on the strategies that sports robots use by taking into account the physical conditions of their opponents. However, there have been few studies on strategies that take into account psychol…
In this paper, we propose the "multi-vision hand", in which a number of small high-speed cameras are mounted on the robot hand of a common 7 degrees-of-freedom robot. Also, we propose visual-servoing control by using a multi-vision system that combines the multi-vision hand and external fixed high-s…
In this paper, we propose a method for improving the maneuverability of master-slave systems. We aim at reproducing human skillfulness and dynamic performance in master-slave robots by using assist control for human operators. In this paper, we tackle a reaching task performed by a master-slave robo…
Paper folding is one of the most difficult tasks for multi-fingered robot hands because paper is deformable and its stiffness distribution is nonuniform. In this study, we aimed to achieve dexterous paper folding by extracting some dynamic motion primitives. Each primitive contains visual or force i…
