This paper presents the application of our passivity-based whole-body contact force control framework to compliant walking. We experimentally evaluate the performance of the controller using our original torque-controllable hydraulic humanoid robot, TaeMu. The experiments are performed on the postural stabilization against support space tilt disturbance and walking on the uneven and unstable ground. Instead of limiting the walking speed slow, we address the terrain adaptability of the proposed robot system and algorithm. For that purpose, prior terrain information and environment perception are not given to the controller. The desired motion trajectories are given in advance on the assumption of the ground to be flat. Nevertheless, the robot was able to compliantly keep its posture, compliantly walk on small steps and on an unstable rocker board laid lengthways or crossways. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller as well as the robotic hardware.

This paper presents a map-merging method which enables the robot to continue working for months and years. The proposed method merges a reference map and the current map to create a new reference map for the next use. Consistency check for map merging is performed using pseudo χ2 test. After map merging, the method reduces the map size by removing redundant data in the pose graph and point cloud for long-term map maintenance. Experiments show the proposed method successfully merges maps and reduces the map size.

In this paper, we propose a fast motion planning method for 6 DOF manipulator based on a maze-searching algorithm. Proposed method is utilizing the CPFS (Closest Point First Search) algorithm similar to the Bug2 algorithm proposed by Lumelsky. We have modified CPFS algorithm with FAP (Footprint Avoidance Procedure) in order to guarantee that the planning does not fall into the deadlock situation. At the beginning of the planning, the initial configuration of 6 DOF robot moves straight toward goal configuration . When the path meets collision configuration, the path is generated along the boundary between free- and collision-configuration. Using computer simulation, we evaluate the proposed method with calculation time. As a result, the proposed method can generate a path with 10 times shorter than the RRT method.

Operativity will be spoiled if the thick cable of an end effector is in the exterior of a manipulator. The less wiring device adapting Power Line Communication technology has been developed. Transmission of the information and transfer of power on an end effector are realizable with one pair of twisted pair wires. The technical details, peripheral technology, example of application and future subjects of this device which can be used, such as not only a robot but onboard equipment and plant apparatus, are reported.

In practical use of automatic guided vehicles, magnetic markers are widely used. However, an approach of which pattern of magnetic intensity in usual environment is defined as landmarks is not investigated. This reason is that it is difficult to be known environmental magnetic field since magnetic intensity is invisible. This paper shows investigation of environmental magnetic field in actual environment and describes implementation of the magnetic based navigation, magnetic navigation method. As the magnetic investigation, magnetic intensity of the mounted devices in a mobile robot was measured, and condition of efficient layout of the devices was obtained. By the measurement of environmental magnetic field in mentioned condition, pattern of magnetic intensity that is suitable as a landmark is shown in this paper. The mobile robot records magnetic intensity on its travel path as magnetic map, and achieves stable navigation based on the magnetic map. In this paper, performance of the magnetic navigation method is shown by an experiment.

This paper proposes underwater robots suitable for teaching materials for learning basic mechanics. Recently various robots for teaching materials have been used to educate future engineers. However, the ground based robots are limited due to the size of the contest rules, mechanics are left behind at the workshop. Thus, robots for teaching materials which mechanics have significant influence on solution to the target problem are desired. The authors have focused on underwater robot, because water causes large effect in terms of equilibrium between forces, even to small robots. We developed new teaching materials of underwater robot “Mark1” for junior high school students and held a workshop on a trial basis. We send out questionnaires and evaluated their answers by checklists. As a result, this workshop obtained a large training effect for education of basic mechanics. Then, underwater robot “Mark3” was developed for more advanced students. Mark3 had extensibility and was able to satisfy the needs of students. From the above, It was confirmed that the proposed underwater robots were useful for learning basic mechanics.

International Space Station and other building project in the lower orbit rises the demand of EVA(extra vehicular activity), and due to this, the robots that helps EVA is highly expected. In this paper, we clear the development and designing requests of EVA Supporting Robot and its dexterous hand. The dexterous hand used in the EVA must be small enough to use EVA tools, able to output high grasping power and modularized so that the hand can be exchanged depending on the mission. Following to the requests, we designed a test model of dexterous hand. In this paper, new index robot finger for our dexterous hand is introduced. The finger consists of 1 actuator and 1 passive joint. The architecture and features of this finger are shown in the last half of this paper.
