Akira Kato, Masato Hirabayashi, Yuya Matsurnoto, Yasutaka Nakashima, Yo Kobayashi, Masakatsu G. Fujie +1

ICRA 2018poster

Continuous, easy-to-implement, accurate inference of intended joint angles is important for effectively controlling powered prosthetic devices that can improve the lives and capabilities of upper-limb amputees. Estimation of intended joint angles is difficult because conventional biosignals are not…

Mitsuhiro Kamezaki, Hiroyuki Ishii, Tatsuzo Ishida, Masatoshi Seki, Ken Ichiryu, Yo Kobayashi +6

ICRA 2016

We developed a four-arm four-crawler advanced disaster response robot called OCTOPUS. Disaster response robots are expected to be capable of both mobility, e.g., entering narrow spaces over very rough unstable ground, and workability, e.g., conducting complex debris-demolition work. However, convent

Pupil Variation Applied to the Eye Tracking Control of an Endoscopic Manipulator

Yang Cao, Satoshi Miura, Yo Kobayashi, Kazuya Kawamura, Shigeki Sugano, Masakatsu G. Fujie

RA-L 2016

In laparoscopic surgery, numerous devices have been developed to allow surgeons to manipulate the laparoscope by themselves. Some previously adopted approaches include hands-free strategies, such as eye tracking. In this letter, we propose a new approach for the control of an endoscopic manipulator
