In this paper, we described the principle, design prototype and evaluation of of 3-dimensional gravity compensation mechanism for human coexistence robot. In this mechanism, it is possible to realize 3-dimensional gravity compensation by rotating the entire pantograph mechanism at the root and arranging actuators as counterweights so as to balance moments of all joints. We derive the relationship such as the link length and the center of gravity position to realize this. In addition, by constructing a mechanism that adds compensation force using wires, the entire arm is made as compact as possible. From the joint torque simulation and experiment of the prototype arm, it was confirmed that the arm can be driven with joint torque of 15% to 25% with respect to the arm without compensation meshanism. In addition, it was found that the effect of reducing the torque supporting the arm's own weight was larger than the influence of the increase of the moment of inertia by counterweight.

This paper introduces the outline of a creativity education course “machine creation” that has been conducted at the Department of Mechano-Aerospace Engineering, Tokyo Institute of Technology, for 21 years. The course is designed to provide students with extensive opportunities to work with real objects to bridge classroom lectures and hands-on experiences. The students work as a team within a time limitation under budget to create a “street performance robot” which can entertain audience. We assume that students can efficiently learn about a process of product development through this course from planning of the robot to the final presentation of the robot. To evaluate this assumption, we carried out questionnaire survey for the current students and alumni who are currently working as engineers in the real world. The results suggest that this course can provide a valuable experience for students and many alumni agree with our educational methodology.
