We previously proposed cable-driven wearable devices for exercise and gait assistance. It was a lightweight and suit-type device with programmable resistance or assistance adjustment capabilities. In this paper, we introduce 1) a wearable gym device designed to focus on lower limb muscles and 2) a s
Hip assistance with cable-driven devices has been proven to help decrease the metabolic cost of gait. However, most existing devices use heavy actuating modules or provide assistance in only one direction, limiting the effectiveness. Cable-driven devices are also difficult to accurately estimate the
To provide an alternative to conventional large-scale fitness equipment, we previously developed a soft passive wearable device for upper limb resistance exercises that utilized elastic exercise bands. However, the user was required to manually adjust the level of strength. In this paper, we introdu…
This paper proposes an end-to-end speech translation system that utilizes contextual information. Contextual information helps clarify the meaning of the utterances. However, conventional end-to-end speech translation (E2E-ST) is primarily designed to handle single-utterance. Thus, we introduce a co…
Integrating tactile sensors into robotic applications is still a challenge because of sensor interconnection and various form factors. Newly developed magnetic synapse sensors have high sensitivity and remote sensing capability, but integration with a robotic finger is an issue because of the air-tr
