In this work, we propose an approach to manipulate objects by position-controlled robot hands: in-hand caging manipulation. In this method, an object is manipulated based on caging without force sensing or force control. An object is caged by a robot hand throughout manipulation, and we can locate t…
We propose a new mobile robot that uses three standing-wave-type ultrasonic motors (USMs). The USMs are composed of two stacked-type piezoelectric actuators. Recently, with the miniaturization of electronic and microelectromechanical system devices and progress in the biomedical sciences, the demand
This paper presents a robotic 3D printer: a robot system that can assemble toy brick sculptures from their 3D CAD models. In this system, a 3D CAD model is automatically converted to a block model consisting of primitive toy blocks. Then an assembly plan of the block model is automatically generated…
