We are interested in position/force/distributed control of robots and measurement/saving/evaluation/transmission/editing/loading of human body's motion by the robots. Related industrial applications include medical diagnosis/treatment, bilateral teleoperation, drone, power assist, electric vehicle, and multi-joint manipulator.
Bilateral control of 2-degree-of-freedom manipulator
A bilateral control system using 2-degree-of-freedom manipulator is developed.
1-degree-of-freedom power assist device
An 1-degree-of-freedom manipulator which assits shoulder joint's motion is developed.
Position/force control of dual-rotor electric helicopter
A dual-rotor electric helicopter is developed, and position/force control is implemented.
Visualization of spasticity and ligamentous injury around ankle
A device which measures dynamic properties of an ankle and evaluates spasticity and ligamentous injury is developed.
Electric vehicle driven by AA battery
An Electric vehicle is developed with a club of students. The vehicle is driven by 40 AA batteries (48V, 91.2Wh) and it completes the International Suzuka Circuit (5.8km) three times.
Torque control of tendon-driven 2-degree-of-freedom (roll, pitch) joint
A 2-degree-of-freedom (roll, pitch) joint is developed, and the driving torque is controlled by 4 wires.
Bilateral control of single-rotor electric helicopter
A bilateral control system using a single-rotor electric helicopter is developed.
Visual-haptic communication
A bilateral teleoperation system which achieves time synchronization of haptic info. and visual info. is developed.
Saving and loading of writing motion
A 3-degree-of-freedom manipulator which saves and loads writing motion is developed.
Bilateral teleoperation between Italy and Japan
Bilateral teleoperation between Padova Univ. (Italy) and Mie Univ. (Japan) is achieved by two linear motors.
