Hopping robots, called hoppers, are expected to move on rough terrains, such as disaster areas or planetary environments. The uncertainties of the hopping locomotion in such environments are high, making path planning algorithms essential to traverse these uncertain environments. Planetary surface exploration requires to generate a path which minimises the risk of failure and maximises the information around the hopper. This paper newly proposes a hopping path planning algorithm for rough terrains locomotion. The proposed algorithm takes into account the motion uncertainties using Markov decision processes (MDPs), and generates paths corresponding to the terrain conditions, or the mission requirements, or both. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed route planning scheme in three cases as the rough terrain, sandy and hard ground environment, and non-smooth borders.
跳跃机器人,被称为hoppers,有望在崎岖的地形上移动,比如灾区或行星环境。在这样的环境中,跳跃运动的不确定性很大,使得路径规划算法必须通过这些不确定的环境。行星表面探测需要生成一条路径,使失败的风险最小化,并使料斗周围的信息最大化。本文提出了一种用于粗糙地形运动的跳跃路径规划算法。该算法利用马尔可夫决策过程(mdp)考虑运动的不确定性,生成与地形条件或任务要求相对应的路径,或两者兼有。仿真结果表明,所提出的路线规划方案在粗糙地形、沙质硬地环境和非光滑边界三种情况下是有效的。

The need for a perching robot is increasing in the field of rescue and transportation. Accordingly studies on perching an object by attaching a robot arm to a perching robot have been conducted. However, almost all the studies related to perching have been conducted using an actuated or electric device. However, perching by using an electric device has several disadvantages, such as additional power consumption and an increase in the mass of the multicopter used to load the electric source. Instead of using an electric device, perching by using an underactuated gripper can effectively avoid these disadvantages. Accordingly, we developed an underactuated passive gripper that has the advantage of nonconsumption of electric power for perching. A method to confirm the available range for stable perching is one of the problems of using an underactuated passive gripper. Therefore, in this study, we analyze a multicopter carrying an underactuated parallel-link passive gripper for available plane perching. To enable perching on planes with different thicknesses and being embedded at different depths, we summarize the available perching range and limitations based on the friction cone theory. Our conclusion is supported by both theoretical and experimental results.
在救援和运输领域,对栖息机器人的需求正在增加。因此,进行了通过在栖息机器人上附加机械臂来栖息物体的研究。然而,几乎所有与栖息有关的研究都是使用驱动装置或电动装置进行的。然而,通过使用电动装置栖息有几个缺点,例如额外的电力消耗和用于加载电源的多旋翼机质量的增加。而不是使用电动装置,通过使用欠驱动夹持器可以有效地避免这些缺点。因此,我们开发了一种欠驱动无源夹持器,该夹持器具有不消耗栖息电力的优点。确定稳定栖息的可用范围是使用欠驱动被动夹持器的问题之一。因此,在本研究中,我们分析了一架多旋翼飞机携带一种欠驱动并联无源夹持器,以供飞机停泊。为了在不同厚度、不同埋深的平面上实现可栖,基于摩擦锥理论总结了可栖范围和局限性。我们的结论得到了理论和实验结果的支持。

People with disabilities, such as patients with motor paralysis conditions, lack independence and cannot move most parts of their bodies except for their eyes. Supportive robot technology is highly beneficial in supporting these types of patients. We propose a gaze-informed location-based (or gaze-based) object segmentation, which is a core module of successful patient-robot interaction in an object-search task (i.e., a situation when a robot has to search for and deliver a target object to the patient). We have introduced the concepts of gaze tracing (GT) and gaze blinking (GB), which are integrated into our proposed object segmentation technique, to yield the benefit of an accurate visual segmentation of unknown objects in a complex scene. Gaze tracing information can be used as a clue as to where the target object is located in a scene. Then, gaze blinking can be used to confirm the position of the target object. The effectiveness of our proposed method has been demonstrated using a humanoid robot in experiments with different types of highly cluttered scenes. Based on the limited gaze guidance from the user, we achieved an 85% F-score of unknown object segmentation in an unknown environment.
残疾人,如运动瘫痪患者,缺乏独立性,除了眼睛以外,身体的大部分都不能活动。辅助机器人技术在支持这些类型的患者方面非常有益。我们提出了一种基于注视信息位置(或基于注视)的对象分割,这是对象搜索任务(即机器人必须搜索并向患者传递目标对象的情况)中成功的患者-机器人交互的核心模块。我们引入了凝视跟踪(GT)和凝视闪烁(GB)的概念,并将其集成到我们提出的目标分割技术中,从而在复杂场景中对未知物体进行准确的视觉分割。凝视跟踪信息可以作为线索,以确定目标物体在场景中的位置。然后,凝视闪烁可以用来确认目标物体的位置。我们提出的方法的有效性已经证明了在实验中使用人形机器人与不同类型的高度混乱的场景。基于用户有限的注视引导,我们在未知环境中实现了85%的未知目标分割f值。

This paper presents an EKF (extended Kalman filter) based self-attitude estimation method with a LiDAR DNN (deep neural network) learning landscape regularities. The proposed DNN infers the gravity direction from LiDAR data. The point cloud obtained with the LiDAR is transformed to a depth image to be input to the network. It is pre-trained with large synthetic datasets. They are collected in a flight simulator because various gravity vectors can be easily obtained, although this study focuses not only on UAVs. Fine-tuning with datasets collected with real sensors is done after the pre-training. Data augmentation is processed during the training in order to provide higher general versatility. The proposed method integrates angular rates from a gyroscope and the DNN outputs in an EKF. Static validations are performed to show the DNN can infer the gravity direction. Dynamic validations are performed to show the DNN can be used in real-time estimation. Some conventional methods are implemented for comparison.

This paper describes the condition analysis of a multicopter carried with a proposed device for rough terrain landing. Based on a multicopter carried with an electrical robot arm for grasping, we proposed a method to determine whether the skid-carried multicopter can land on an arbitrary slope or not. We established the static model of the entire device, and analyzed the conditions under which the arm and skid can contact the arbitrary plane and the COG (Center of Gravity), which includes the mass of passive skid, multicopter body and each link of the robot arm. Further, we proposed a method to analyze whether the entire device can land stably. By analyzing that the projection of the entire device’s COG is inside or outside the triangle, that comprises the contact point between the device and the uneven ground, we can determine whether the device can land successfully and the condition for capable landing is concluded. After the numerical analysis, the verification experiment is conducted, and by comparing the result of analysis with the experiment, the accuracy of the analysis can be demonstrated.

We propose a novel robotic system that combines both a reliable programming-based approach and a highly generalizable learning-based approach. How to design and implement a series of tasks in an atypical environment is a challenging issue. If all tasks are implemented using a programming-based approach, the development costs will be huge. However, if a learning-based approach is used, reliability is an issue. In this paper, we propose novel design guidelines that focus on the respective advantages of programming-based and learning-based approaches and select them so that they complement each other. We use a program-based approach for motions that is rough behavior and a learning-based approach for motion that is required complex interaction between robot and object of robot tasks and are difficult to achieve with a program. Our learning approach can easily and rapidly accomplish a series of tasks consisting of various motions because it does not require a computational model of an object to be designed in advance. We demonstrate a series of tasks in which randomly arranged parts are assembled using an actual robot.

Characterization of variable-sensitivity force sensor using stiffness change of shape-memory polymer based on temperature 基于温度的形状记忆聚合物刚度变化表征变灵敏度力传感器

In the present study, we propose a variable-sensitivity force sensor using a shape-memory polymer (SMP), the stiffness of which varies according to the temperature. Since the measurement range and sensitivity can be changed, it is not necessary to replace the force sensor to match the measurement target. Shape-memory polymers are often described as two-phase structures comprising a lower-temperature “glassy” hard phase and a higher-temperature “rubbery” soft phase. The relationship between the applied force and the deformation of the SMP changes depending on the temperature. The proposed sensor consists of strain gauges bonded to an SMP bending beam and senses the applied force by measuring the strain. Therefore, the force measurement range and the sensitivity can be changed according to the temperature. In our previous study, we found that a sensor with one strain gauge and a steel plate had a small error and a large sensitivity range. Therefore, in the present study, we miniaturize this type of sensor. Moreover, in order to describe the viscoelastic behavior more accurately, we propose a transfer function using a generalized Maxwell model. We verify the proposed model experimentally and estimated the parameters by system identification. In addition, we realize miniaturization of the sensor and achieve the same performance as in our previous study. It is shown that the proposed transfer function can capture the viscoelastic behavior of the proposed SMP sensor quite well.
在本研究中,我们提出了一种使用形状记忆聚合物(SMP)的变灵敏度力传感器,其刚度随温度而变化。由于测量范围和灵敏度是可以改变的,所以不需要更换力传感器来匹配测量目标。形状记忆聚合物通常被描述为两相结构,包括低温“玻璃状”硬相和高温“橡胶状”软相。施加的力与SMP变形之间的关系随温度的变化而变化。该传感器由连接在SMP弯曲梁上的应变片组成,并通过测量应变来感知施加的力。因此,力的测量范围和灵敏度可以根据温度变化。在我们之前的研究中,我们发现一个应变片和一个钢板的传感器误差小,灵敏度范围大。因此,在目前的研究中,我们将这种类型的传感器小型化。此外,为了更准确地描述粘弹性行为,我们提出了一个使用广义麦克斯韦模型的传递函数。实验验证了模型的有效性,并通过系统辨识对模型参数进行了估计。此外,我们实现了传感器的小型化,并达到了与我们之前研究相同的性能。结果表明,所提出的传递函数能很好地反映SMP传感器的粘弹性特性。

It is shown that the proposed transfer function can capture the viscoelastic behavior of the proposed SMP sensor quite well.","PeriodicalId":37462,"journal":{"name":"ROBOMECH Journal","volume":"46 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138527526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A light-driven gel actuator is a potential candidate for a single-cell manipulation tool because it allows cells to be manipulated while ensuring less damage. Moreover, a large number of actuators can be integrated into a microfluidic chip because no wiring is required. Previously, we proposed a method for cell manipulation using light-driven gel actuators. However, the system used in the previous work did not allow the targeted cells to be manipulated in real time because the system used in the previous work could only irradiate preprogrammed patterned light. Moreover, when a large number of gel actuators are integrated into a chip, the Gaussian distribution of the laser light source results in the response characteristics of the gel actuators varying with the location of the actuator. In this work, we constructed a system that homogenized the intensity of the patterned light used for irradiation, allowing multiple gel actuators to be driven in parallel in real time. The intensity-homogenized patterned light improved the variations in the response characteristics of the gel actuators, and as a result, we succeeded in actuating gel actuators with various light patterns in real time.
光驱动凝胶致动器是单细胞操作工具的潜在候选者,因为它允许在操作细胞的同时确保更小的损伤。此外,由于不需要布线,大量的致动器可以集成到微流控芯片中。之前,我们提出了一种使用光驱动凝胶致动器的细胞操作方法。然而,先前工作中使用的系统不允许对目标细胞进行实时操作,因为先前工作中使用的系统只能照射预编程的图案光。此外,当大量凝胶致动器集成在芯片中时,激光光源的高斯分布导致凝胶致动器的响应特性随致动器位置的变化而变化。在这项工作中,我们构建了一个均匀化用于照射的图案光强度的系统,允许多个凝胶致动器实时并行驱动。强度均匀化的模式光改善了凝胶致动器响应特性的变化,从而实现了不同光模式下凝胶致动器的实时驱动。
