Rescue robots that search around on debris during natural disasters require high mobility to overcome various shaped materials scattered in the environment. Our previous study developed a new tracked mechanism called Mono-wheel Track, an elastic track driven by a single wheel, having a high capabili…
In this paper, HueCode, a meta-marker that robustly and simultaneously exposes the relative pose between a marker and a camera along with additional information, is proposed. It occupies the area of a single marker by overlaying multiple types of markers in different colored layers. Using perspectiv…
In the soft robotics field, soft structures are required for safe human interactions, adaptive shape grippers, and haptic interfaces. Conversely, rigid structures are necessary for high force transmission devices and precise position control applications. The tunable stiffness mechanism is a crucial
