Recently, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has become apparent. Research has been performed on surgical robots needed in MIS. In the case of MIS, it is effective to express environmental impedance as numerical data in order to preserve it for establishing standard reference values of the conditions of internal organs. In this paper, we propose a novel method for the estimation of stiffness in real environments in which bilaterally controlled robots are needed. By using the proposed method, environmental stiffness can be estimated dynamically regardless of the initial position of slave system. The viability of the proposed method is confirmed from the experimental results.

Motion recognition based on sensory information is important for providing assistance to human using robots. Several studies have been carried out on motion recognition based on image information. However, in the motion of humans contact with an object can not be evaluated precisely by image-based recognition. This is because the considering force information is very important for describing contact motion. In this paper, a modal-power-based haptic motion recognition is proposed; modal power is considered to reveal information on both position and force. Modal power is considered to be one of the defining features of human motion. A motion recognition algorithm based on linear discriminant analysis is proposed to distinguish between similar motions. Haptic information is extracted using a bilateral master-slave system. Then, the observed motion is decomposed in terms of primitive functions in a modal space. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

本研究の成果の特徴は次の2点に集約される。(1)SAZZチョッパのトポロジーで、50kW出力、電力密度100kw/〓を実現した。(2)可変速駆動系システムに直列チョッパを導入する時の省エネ効果は、そのシステム構成によって幅がある。特に、電気自動車に限れば、25kw試験装置において直列チョッパの高電力密度化、軽量化により、JC08モード走行において3%以上の省エネ効果が確認された。さらに、チョッパの軽量化と直流電圧の選択によっては、10%程度の省エネの可能性が示された。
