The use of intelligent robotic systems operated through computer networks allows the users to interact with remote environments. We present the INTERLABNET system that allows us to tele-operate a semiautonomous mobile robot over the Internet/intranet network. The software of this system has been written entirely in Java to achieve high platform-independence. The user interface runs as an applet within a Web browser. We present the configuration of the system, main software modules and some results of experiments.

Describes the development of an autonomous hybrid micro-robot that uses legs for propulsion and support of the rear half of the body and uses a pair of wheels for support of the front half. McKibben artificial muscles actuate the legs and the compressed air that activates the actuators is generated by an on-board power plant comprising a pair of lithium batteries powering a gear motor driven air compressor. The control is also onboard in the form of a PIC that controls the actuators through four three-way valves that each consists of a pair of MEMS devices.

We are developing the "HELIOS" series, platforms for off-road vehicles and powered wheelchairs that are able to ascend and descend stairs. At present, we are developing an endless rotation locomotion type terrain adaptive vehicle "HELIOS-VI" that is propelled by 2 crawler belts. This vehicle has two continuously variable transmissions to change the velocity and direction of locomotion. The vehicle also has two active arms attached to the axis of the one drive pulley of the active crawler. One of the arms has two passive tires installed at its tip, and improves the vehicle's terrain adaptability in rough terrain; the other arm carries payload and adjusts payload posture. We introduced a structure that can change the posture of this load dynamically. This paper first outlines development process of the HELIOS series, and then discusses the configuration of terrain adaptive crawler vehicle HELIOS-VI and the design of its driving mechanism.

We have already proposed a new planetary rover system called "SMC rover". This system consists of one main body and some wheel units, which are detachable and able to work as child rovers called "arm equipped single wheel rovers". A trial model of "small arm equipped single wheel rover" has already been designed and developed. In this paper, we explain the mechanisms of this rover, and also the results of basic experiments of locomotion and manipulation.

We introduce in this paper a new fractal/rough set modeling approach to the domains of attraction of nonlinear systems obtained by cell mapping. The state space is partitioned into cells and the stability regions found using cell to cell mapping. Our new approach gives a fractal rough set identity to the domains of attraction where cells are identified according to their fractal dimension as fully stable, possibly stable and unstable. There the stability domain is a rough set where fully stable cells determine the lower approximation of the domain, and possibly stable cells its rough boundary. Consequently, the totality of these cells forms an upper approximation to the rough stability domain. The boundary of this domain which is a rough set of cells having a fractal dimension as an attribute of roughness is smoothed, minimising the inherent stability uncertainty of the region, using a reinforcement learning technique which takes into account the stability history of each fractal/rough cell. This new approach intended to reinforce the performance of a controller under stability uncertainty is applied for illustrative purposes to a two-axis robot arm under dynamic load.

This paper addresses the trajectory design for generic problems that involve: (1) complicated global constraints that include nonconvex obstacles, (2) nonlinear equations of motion that involve substantial drift due to momentum, and (3) a high-dimensional state space. Our approach to these challenging problems is to develop randomized planning algorithms based on rapidly-exploring random trees (RRTs). RRTs use metric-induced heuristics to conduct a greedy exploration of the state space; however, performance substantially degrades when the chosen metric does not adequately reflect the true cost-to-go. In this paper, we present a version of the RRT that refines its exploration strategy in the presence of a poor metric. Experiments on problems in vehicle dynamics and spacecraft navigation indicate substantial performance improvement over existing techniques.

We propose a decentralized control algorithm of multiple robot helpers, called DR Helpers, which have been developed for manipulating a large object in cooperation with humans. In this algorithm, each robot is controlled as if it has a caster-like dynamics around a representative point attached to the object, and manipulation of a large or long object in cooperation with a human can be realized easily. The proposed control algorithm is experimentally applied to two DR Helpers and experimental results illustrate the validity of the proposed control algorithm.

The existing colonoscope requires a dexterous skill of surgeon to perform the insertion in entire colon. The procedure is painful to the patient. Therefore, biomedical and robotic researchers are developing a locomotive colonoscope that can travel safely in colon In this paper, we describe a new design and concept of semi-autonomous micro robot for colonoscopy. The micro robot comprises the actuation system, bow-shaped flexible supporters to keep the space between colon wall and the actuator camera and LED for diagnosis and steering system to pass through the acute angle in colon. We suggest two actuating methods. One is based on the reaction force, and the other on impact force. For the performance test, the preliminary experiments are carried out in rigid pipe to validate the concept.

We developed a new system for random separation of a single microorganism, such as a living cell and a microbe, in a micro fluidic device under the microscope using laser manipulation and microchannel flow. The main flow in the microchannel splits at the exit of the sample chamber. One flow goes to the extraction port with high speed to take out the target. Another flow goes to the drain. The target was transported by laser manipulation from the sample chamber to put on the main flow. Since the force balance of the laser-trapped object is important for stable manipulation of the target, we propose the stagnation point control around the sample chamber exit. Pressure balance was adjusted and the stagnation point was controlled. Some preliminary experiments are conducted to show the effectiveness. The target was trapped by the laser transported to put on the main flow around the split area through the stagnation, and was taken out from the extraction port. Separation time was reduced less than 10 seconds.

This paper investigates the handling of a fabric - a limp material with softness and flexibility. The fabric is characterized not only by its malleability but also its nonlinear properties. These properties are considered for picking up a piece of fabric. The robot hand with 3 fingers and a palm, that is used to study various handling techniques, is introduced. Its performance when picking up a piece from layers is experimentally shown.
