Self-healing function is a promising approach for damage management of high-load robot applications such as legged robots. Although the function is getting major in soft robotics, its application to life-sized "stiff" robots is of relatively minor interest. Although the authors have devised several…
Self-healing robotics has been of considerable interest. We believe the function will have a major role in legged robots as a typical high-load application of robotics. Some pioneering works have been ongoing on self-healing soft robots. However, the development of large load self-healing component…
To realize a robust automobile driving behavior of musculoskeletal tendon-driven humanoids, we developed a six-axis force measurement module with a core-shell structure. This sensor enables space saving, high load capacity and wholebody sensing at the same time. By developing a foot unit incorporati…
We propose a human mimetic foot structure for musculoskeletal humanoids. We designed the foot structure by inspiring from human foot abilities of the multi-bone connected structure for flexibility and the distributed force sensor system. The foot has multi-DOFs structure including toe DOF that is co…
