連想データベースを自己組織化する簡単で効率の良い方法を提案すると共に, 自律移動知能ロボットへ応用する.システムは, 予め規定された処理部と, 初期状態では空白な記憶部とから成る.現時点の入力信号に対し, 処理部はこれに似ている過去の入力信号を記憶部から検索し, その関連情報を呼び出す.もし現入力信号の随伴情報がこの関連情報と一致しなければ, 新たな情報が記憶部のデータベースに付加され, その影響は次回の処理に反映される.このように記憶状態と入力信号の双方に依存して, データベースは自己組織化的に成長してゆく.データベース組織化の履歴は入力系列に依存するので, 個々のデータベースは固有な構造を獲得する.もし十分な長さの入力系列が与えられると, 入力信号と関連情報の対応関係は, 入力系列のそれに一致するようになる.脳における直観的情報処理の概念的ではあるが本質的なモデルを与えているという点で, また実用的立場からは, 要求された応答をユニパーサルに学習する学習機構へ応用できるという点で, 本システムは意義深い.この学習機構を利用した廊下用のカメラ方式自律移動ロボットを紹介する.ロボットの頭脳は, プロセッサーi80286を搭載したマイクロ計算機によって構成され, ロボットの行動は, C言語に追加設計した小規模のロボット言語を用いて制御される.良好な実験結果が示される.

It is desirable to have a mobile robot which can move and perform various tasks on irregular terrain, but current systems are not reliable or adaptable enough for practical use. A traditional method for climbing stairs is to use knobbed tires or tracks which can grip the edge of the stairs. But with this method usually only one knob on each side of the vehicle grips the stairs because the spacing between the knobs does not necessarily coincide with the distance between steps. In this thesis, a new idea crawler is developed for the stair-climbing. Blocks are attached to the face of the crawler-belt and can change shape to match the edge of the steps. Therefore, a large friction force is obtained by the soft deformation of the blocks at every point along the belt. After experimenting with various types of substances, blocks filled with powder were chosen for their desirable deformation characteristics. The results of this stair-climbing experiment prove that this crawler has better reliability than other crawlers when ascending and descending stairs. Also, this crawler can change its posture when climbing stairs or obstacles and this is also used to increase the turning efficiency of the crawler.

This paper discusses the scale-dependent grasp. Suppose that an object is initially placed on a table without touching by human hand and, then he (or she) finally achieves an enveloping grasp after an appropriate approach phase. Under such initial and final conditions, human unconsciously changes the grasp strategy according to the size of object, even though they have similar geometry. We call the grasp planning the scale-dependent grasp. Focusing on column objects, we first classified the grasp patterns into a couple of grasps and extracted the essential motions so that we can apply the scale-dependent grasp to multi-fingered robot hands. We found that the grasp patterns should be also changed according to the surface friction and the geometry of cross section of object in addition to the scale. The basic strategies were verified by experiments. Finally, we considered how each strategy should be switched from one to another.

The purpose of this study is to develop teaching materials for "Roboelecom education" in the technology education of the junior high school. The authors developed the educational compact computer, the sensor robot, the sensor light and the textbook. Then we organized the experiment. As a result, we confirmed that "the students learn quite easily to create simple programs". Therefore we judged that "the programming learning using the educational compact computer is possible". Moreover we confirmed that "these teaching materials support "Roboelecom education".

The self-reproduction capability of machines can enhance manufacturing efficiency and contribute to reliability since it enables the machines to fabricate themselves in geometric progression while testing their functionality through the reproduction process. In addition, a part of the process can be utilized as a self-repair process. This paper discusses the method of its realization on the basis of machines composed of identical autonomus cells. The proposed concept includes the specialization of cells according to their positions, growing in size by capturing new cells, transferring genetic data to the new cell, and splitting into two independent halves after grown up. Experiments have demonstrated the self-reproduction of mobile machines each of which is composed of multiple cells connected one another in a row, one-dimensionally.

<I>Jumping Scouter</I> is a rocket-powered robot for planetary exploration. The light-weighted robot traverses long distance, independent of terrain conditions. For example, it theoretically jumps 43[km] with only 290[g] of vehicle mass and 98[g] of black powder. It also acquires landscape imagery of wide areas during and after traversal jumps. This paper describes the robot's concept, system configuration and primary evaluation tests for jumping functionary.

Wall-climbing robots having holonomic and omni-directional mobility would enhance the manipulation performance of the mounted arm and enable it to execute various tasks on the surface of large structures. This study focuses on the wall-climbing robots having permanent magnet attractive units to stick to the surface of iron structure such as atomic reactors and discuss the development of a specific holonomic and omni-directional wall-climbing mechanisms. Basic driving mechanism of the wall-climbing robot is based on our former invention named Omni Disk which consists of multiple rollers attached to one side of a rotating disk and having a mechanism to direct the rollers to the same direction. We firstly discuss about the mechanical improvements of the Omni Disk to make it lightweight and low cost. We next discusses about four types of methods to attach permanent magnets to the wall-climbing robot and generates attractive force on the iron wall and select the best type based on the motion experiments about the constructed models. As the result of these considerations, we developed a holonomic and omni-directional wall-climbing robot named Vmax III which consists of three Omni Disks having permanent magnet at their center having the function to change the magnetic attractive force. By using the Vmax III, we studied about the relation among the magnetic attractive force of three Omni Disks, posture of the Vmax III and inclination angle of the iron wall and clarified the optimized distribution of the magnetic attractive force of the Omni Disks in different inclination of the iron wall.

A 6 legged walking vehicle composed of a pair of leg units each of which has three expandable soles and has an ability to make rotational and traversable motion among the leg units is made. It is developed to realize a solid and reliable walking vehicle for practical uses in the near future with spread mechanical elements used in usual hydraulic construction machines. It weighs about 80 [kg] with all aluminum (including honeycomb frame) structure. Owing to mounted 24 [V] /12 [Ah] battery unit and wireless control system, it has no umbilical cord for power supply, control and communication. It is shown by the experiments that the vehicle can walk continuously over 1 hour, crossing many obstacles those maximum height is about 0.9 [m], and many irregular soil terrain.

We developed the robot Babyloid for the purpose that psychological distresses in elderly people and the people requiring a nursing care are decreased by taking care of Babyloid. Babyloid is not all-arounder and cannot do anything, except expressions of physiological and psychological states for the self-sufficiency such as whimpering, becoming grumpy and so on. Through interaction with expressions of self-sufficiency, we considered that mental condition of elderly people is improved by building up trusting relationships between the people and Babyloid. In this paper, we explain concept, design, and specifics of Babyloid.

Recent progresses of ultrasound imaging technology have induced observations of fetal intrauterine behavior and perspective intrauterine learning. Understanding fetal behavior in uterus is important for medical cares for prenatal infants, because the intervention like "nesting" in NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) is based on a perspective of intrauterine learning. However, fetal behavior is not explained sufficiently by the perspective. In this study, we have proposed a hypothesis in which two of fetal behavior, Isolated leg/arm movements and hand/face contact, emerge from exploration by neural oscillator in spinal cord and self-organization of nervous system through tactile information in uterus. We have conducted computer experiments with a simple musculoskeleta model and a whole body fetal musculoskeletal model with tactile in uterus for the hypothesis. We confirmed that tactile information induce reflexive behaviors by the experiments of the simple model, and the fetal model with human like tactile distribution have behaved with the two behavior similar to the correspond real fetal behaviors. Our experiments indicated that fetal intrauterine learning is possibly core concept for the fetal motor development.
