Research Themes

Medical application of robot technology

Medical application of robot technology Images are a type of information that can be conveniently measured. By extracting human movement from these images and analyzing them, we are developing methods of disease estimation, object manipulation procedure detection, and emotion detection etc., which are capable of application in various fields such as medical welfare, engineering, and psychology.

Adhesion Forces Reduction by Oscillation and Its Application to Micro Manipulation

Adhesion Forces Reduction by Oscillation and Its Application to Micro Manipulation In the micro region, for scale effect, the force (attracting force) proportional to the area and length of van der Waals attraction, surface tension, and electrostatic force become dominant compared to the force proportional to the force of gravity and inertia. These attracting forces create an adhesion force between the target object and tool. To cope with this adhesion force, we are proposing a method of mitigating adhesion force through vibration. By minutely vibrating the end-effector and contacting it (bringing it near to) with the physical object on the table (foundation), the adhesion force between the end-effector and physical object will become small compared to the force between the table (foundation) and physical object. By applying this method, we can manipulate objects in the same way as manipulation of the micro region. Based on this method, we are developing methods of automatically conducting various macro manipulation.
