Abstract In this paper, we present an electrically driven childlike android named ibuki equipped with a wheeled mobility unit that enables it to move in real environment. Since the includes vertical oscillation mechanism, can replicate movements of human center mass and express human-like upper-body even when moving by wheels. Moreover, providing 46 degrees freedom perform various physical expressions. The development , as well implementation testing several functions, is described. Finally,...
This paper presents a subjective evaluation of the emotions wheeled mobile humanoid robot expressing during movement by replicating human gait-induced upper body motion. For this purpose, we proposed equipped with vertical oscillation mechanism that generates such motion focusing on center-of-mass trajectory. In experiment, participants watched videos robot's different emotional motions, and assess type emotion shown, their confidence level in answer. We calculated recognition rate average...
Androids--humanoids with a human-like appearance are studied in limited communities but draw considerable attention. Considering an android integrates numbers of actuators, sensors and devices into system, standardized framework is beneficial to easy-move extension potential applications. In this report, we developed ROS-based software for androids. With the framework, intuitively generating, blending reusing motion aimed be realized. Some applications under they implemented on child-like...
The purpose of this research is to develop an adaptive shape-changing tensegrity-structured robot with length-variable struts and tendons for physical Human-Robot Interaction (pHRI). tensegrity mechanism enables the shape change against environmental constraints allows move in conjunction by reacting springs, even without a sensory control network via central computer. Experimental results from two constraint situations show that shape-change adaptively while keeping track actuator movement.
Robots are required to be significantly compliant and versatile work in unstructured environments. In a number of studies, robots have positively exploited the environments during interactions completed tasks from morphological viewpoint. Modular can help realize real-world adaptive robots. Researchers been investigating actuation, coupling, communication mechanisms among these versatility. However, diverse force transmission modules needs further studied achieve whole-body dynamics robot....
In recent years, robots are increasingly used in many fields such as the entertainment and nursing, but robot design that concentrates on establishing rapport with humans has not been studied satisfactorily. Therefore, if we elucidate how to improve between humans, can provide more human-friendly service future. this research, focus insects because they differ from respect both body structure appearance. That is, carried out experiments insect-like (both simulations physical robots), order...
