Kazuo Hongo, Takashi Kito, Yasuhisa Kamikawa, Masaya Kinoshita, Yasunori Kawanami

IROS 2024poster

This paper introduces the Passive Transformable Omni-Ball (PTOB), an advanced omnidirectional wheel engineered to enhance step-climbing performance, incorporate built-in actuators, diminish vibrations, and fortify structural integrity. By modifying the omni-ball’s structure from two to three segment…

Development and Testing of Force-Sensing Forceps Using FBG for Bilateral Micro-Operation System

Hiroyuki Suzuki, Hiromasa Masuda, Kazuo Hongo, Ryuta Horie, Shunsuke Yajima, Yuki Itotani +2

RA-L 2018

Regarding the bilateral operation system, the precise force sensing system is necessary to reduce intervening impedance. The force sensing system needs to be unaffected by machine vibration during robot motion because it is difficult to improve force control gain sufficiently due to the noise. Thus,
