In order to make robots more useful in a variety of environments, they need to be highly portable so that they can be transported to wherever they are needed, and highly storable so that they can be stored when not in use. We propose "on-site robotics", which uses parts procured at the location wher…
A robotic hand for social interaction should be capable of comfortable touch with humans. However, it is difficult to mount skin, tactile sensors, and driving mechanism required for human contact, especially holding hands, on a slender finger. In addition, in order to unitize the hand for easy use w…
It is important for daily life support robots to detect changes in their environment and perform tasks. In the field of anomaly detection in computer vision, probabilistic and deep learning methods have been used to calculate the image distance. These methods calculate distances by focusing on image…
In recent years, there has been a great deal of research on teleoperation of robots, and many end-effector-oriented control systems have been proposed, but these systems have difficulties in performing manipulation tasks with physical contacts between the target object, the robot, and the environmen
This study presents an approach for acquiring model parameters of close-range approximate proximity sensors on a robot hand using long-range distance sensors while that hand is grasping an object. The acquired models are used to generate a precise close-range distance output. We aim herein to acquir
Robots need to adapt themselves to various surroundings in order to achieve robust object search and grasp in unknown environments. For this adaptation, robot motions should be implemented as combination of primitive motions which are based on sensor reaction. Among various sensing methods, non cont…
