Our research activity of the robot's

We are focusing on the hardware develolpment of the robotics application.
1. In order to realize what humans want to do, we will consider "the robot configuration method that combines movement and work functions".

What should we do with a system that allows robots to move around and work remotely?
We will come up with the concept and establish technologies that will be the number of mechanical and electrical elements.

2. In order to allow humans and any objects to be gentle and accept uncertainly, we plan and develop elemental technoklogies such as sonsors and servos for soft movement and cotrol.

Using concise devices, we create mechanism to detect states, control and operate objects.

3. We will divise methods develop devices that communicats between humans and machines, for example remote operation, in order to present information to human. While there are effective methods such as automation, autonomous, assistance and intent understanding, we will consider what information should be return and present to humans in order facilitate operations.

Our robot development policy of the relation between hardware design, software design and control technology.

In our laboratory, we develop from both hardware and software perspectives.

Inrecent years, there are many efforts to enhance the added value of mechatronic devices by implementing excellent software.

There are many cases whre features that could not be achieved with hardware alone canbe realized, threfore it might seem that sohftware has the advantage.

However, since it is not possible to exceed the performance(accuracym functionality, output power, etc.) that the hardware devices or equipments, we consider it is important to develop both hardware performance and sogtware functionality.

When conducting control system, it is desirable to understand the properties of the subject and create as simple model as possible. This is important for improving control performance, and it is nexcesarry to avoid creating control laws that have unnecessary nonlinear elements od unnecessarily incerease computatiuonal load.

In contrast, when creating operations though the ingenuity of the mechanism and realizing the necessary functions, it often becomes less manageable in terms of conrol.

In developing machine systems that realize multifunctionality, including robots, it is important first to enhance performance as amechanism and then to implemnt functions by combining it with a contraol system that takes advantage of its characteristic.

How to combine opposing elements is just key to developing robots and mechanical system, therefore we would like to approach our study and development in our laboratory with that in our mind.
