Estimating Door Shape and Manipulation Model for Daily Assistive Robots Based on the Integration of Visual and Touch Information

Kotaro Nagahama, Keisuke Takeshita, Hiroaki Yaguchi, Kimitoshi Yamazaki, Takashi Yamamoto, Masayuki Inaba
IROS 2018poster

We propose a method for a robot to manipulate an unknown door based on a single user instruction. The primary contributions of this paper are (i) to reduce the user instruction to a single click and (ii) to develop an efficient method to estimate an appropriate shape and manipulation model for a tar…

The Seednoid Robot Platform: Designing a Multipurpose Compact Robot From Continuous Evaluation and Lessons From Competitions

Kazuhiro Sasabuchi, Hiroaki Yaguchi, Kotaro Nagahama, Shintaro Hori, Hiroto Mizohana, Masayuki Inaba
RA-L 2018

Robots are designed to tackle specific problems or are designed as a multipurpose platform that achieves a concept. In this letter, we approach the hardware design problem from practice and evaluation through numerous competitions including the Darpa Robotics Challenge, the Amazon Picking Challenge,

Development of a low-cost ultra-tiny line laser range sensor

Xiangyu Chen, Moju Zhao, Lingzhu Xiang, Fumihito Sugai, Hiroaki Yaguchi, Kei Okada +1
IROS 2016poster

To enable robotic sensing for tasks with requirements on weight, size, and cost, we develop an ultra-tiny line laser range sensor based on the Time-of-Flight (TOF) principle. With delicate circuit design and optical attachments, we create a sensor as small as 35[mm] × 27[mm] × 30[mm] and as light as…

Development of an autonomous tomato harvesting robot with rotational plucking gripper

Hiroaki Yaguchi, Kotaro Nagahama, Takaomi Hasegawa, Masayuki Inaba
IROS 2016poster

In this paper, we present a design and development an autonomous tomato harvesting robot. We developed a harvesting robot with stereo camera which can measure depth in short range and direct sunlight and plucking gripper using the infinity rotational joint. We also evaluate the developed robot throu…

Reasoning-based vision recognition for agricultural humanoid robot toward tomato harvesting

Xiangyu Chen, Krishneel Chaudhary, Yoshimaru Tanaka, Kotaro Nagahama, Hiroaki Yaguchi, Kei Okada +1
IROS 2015poster

We present a vision cognition framework for tomato harvesting humanoid robot based on geometrical and physical reasoning. Inspired from the natural human harvesting behaviour, our goal is to build a humanoid robot to pick tomatoes autonomously or with minimal human efforts. The proposed vision appro…
