As one field of sports, there is a game of bike trial. Riders operate mountain bicycles with various advanced techniques. The purpose of this research is to create a bike trial robot that can operate a mountain bicycle and perform various maneuvers such as jumping, bike wheelie and etc. In this paper, a mechanical analysis concerning individual techniques including bike wheelie and Daniel is presented. The analyzing method and the results of computer simulations are also presented.

In this paper, we propose a swimming robot driven by a water jet pump with an active exible nozzle for steering. The proposed robot is of 220[mm] in length and consists of a slim body for entering a narrow space. Experimental results using a prototype of the proposed swimming robot show that the robot not only can swim forward at the average velocity of 0.44[m/s] corresponding about 2[BL/s](body length per second), but also can turn underwater at the average angular velocity of 156[deg/s] with a small turning radius of 160[mm].

This paper reports the potentiality of a semi-permanent integrated power source mounted on an insect. First, an insect biofuel cell(BFC) based on trehalase and glucose oxidase reactions which oxidize β-glucose obtained by hydrolyzing trehalose found in cockroach hemolymph(CHL) was developed and the maximum power density of 46 μW/cm^2 was obtained. Then, a self-circulation system of CHL powered by the dorsal vessel of a cockroach was developed for self-refueling of an insect-mountable BFC and connected to a cockroach with a flow channel. Finally, the electrochemical reaction of the anode was confirmed to take place when the chamber was mounted onto the cockroach. The results have enough potential to be applied for a micro battery of novel ubiquitous robots such as insect cyborgs in near future.

In order to develop useful assistive devices, it is necessary to analyze and understand the function of human. In this study, the activities of daily living were recorded and the performance of dominant and non-dominant hand was classified according to ICF (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health) approved by WHO. As a result, it was revealed that the use of both hands makes a great difference. It will be reasonable to design assistive devices such as prosthetic hands for non-dominant hand to have less function (degree of freedoms, payloads etc.) than assistive devices for dominance hand.
