The authors discovered the temperature dependent hysteresis of TCPFs; this kind of actuators has the property that the equilibrium point changes depending on the relationship between temperature and load. Due to this property, it is difficult to capture the behavior of a TCPF accurately when it is modeled as a mere viscoelastic material. In this study, for modeling TCPF considering hysteresis, we measured the tension creep response to the step displacement input at high temperature as well as at high temperature. We investigates that the viscoelasticity parameter changes depending on the temperature..

Up to now, the gait generation with wheels movement method on the sagittal plane, which does not consider the transition between wheel movement and walking movement, has already been proposed. On the other hand, the movement transition control is important in order for this kind of dual mobility robot to be useful in a real situation. In this paper, a control method for the transition between the wheel and the walking movement of the wheeled-leg mobile robot with hemispherical feet is proposed. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through numerical simulation results using a 7-link dynamics model on the sagittal plane.

In our previous study, a sensorless orientation control method for a grasped object has already been proposed so far. However, there remained considerable orientation error due to only the use of virtual object information which does not use any external sensing information. In this paper, the contact position with each fingertip and the grasped object using each fingertip orientation information and the virtual object frame is estimated. By using the estimated information, the control accuracy is improved. Its usefulness is demonstrated through numerical simulation results using a three multi-fingered robotic hand model.

Up to now, we have proposed a force control method that combines the advantages of impedance and admittance controllers. This study demonstrates the usefulness of the proposed method in the case of a two-dimensional plane and the superiority of mechanical property design by stiffness ellipses.

Until now, we have proposed a sensorless rotational angle controller using estimated temperature feedback in order to take advantage of the low cost of TPFA. In order to construct a sensorless torque control method as an expansion of the utility of the TPFA, the relationship between output torque and change in temperature is modeled and the sensorless torque controller is designed. The proposed method is eventually verified through experiments..

Seunghyun Choi, Kenji Tahara, Development of a Visual-Tactile Fingertip Sensor and an Object Manipulation Method using a Multi-Fingered Robotic Hand, 2020 IEEE/SICE International Symposium on System Integration, SII 2020, 2020.01, [URL], In this paper, a novel visual-tactile sensor is proposed and an object manipulation method of a grasped object by a multi-fingered robotic hand is proposed by detecting a contact position using the visual-tactile sensor. The visual-tactile sensor is composed of a hemispheric fingertip part made of soft silicone with hollow inside and a general USB camera located at the inside of the fingertip to detect the displacement of many point markers embedded in the silicone. The deformation of each point marker due to a contact force is measured and a contact position is estimated in stable through a novel method of creating virtual points in figuring out the point clouds. Not only to demonstrate the estimation performance of the new visual-tactile sensor itself, but its practical usefulness in a grasping and manipulation task is also illustrated as well. By using a contact position obtained from the proposed sensor and the position of each fingertip obtained from kinematics, the position and orientation of a grasped object are estimated and controlled. Its performance is demonstrated through numerical simulation results..

Hiroki Iwai, Kentaro Takagi, Chihaya Oiwa, Ken Masuya, Kenji Tahara, Toshihira Irisawa, Masatoshi Shioya, Haruhiko Watanabe, Daichi Sakurai, Kinji Asaka, On the fluctuation phenomenon of axial thermal stress of a torsional fishing-line artificial muscle (Twisted Polymer Fiber) actuator, Electroactive Polymer Actuators and Devices (EAPAD) XXII 2020, 2020.01, [URL], Fishing-line artificial muscles can exhibit various motions. Twisted Polymer Fiber (TPF) actuators, which are a class of fishing-line artificial muscle actuators, generate torsional motion by applying heat. In general, untwisted fiber contracts by heating. However, measuring the blocking thermal tensile force of a TPF, we have discovered that the tensile force decreased and fluctuated depending on the initial number of twists in the TPF. This suggests that a TPF expands depending on the initial number of twists. Furthermore, the tensile force does not decrease monotonically but fluctuates during heating..

58. 田原 健二, 筋骨格構造および釣糸人工筋肉のモデル化と制御, 日本末梢神経学会, 2019.08, 間の運動知能は未だロボットのそれと比較して圧倒的に洗練されており,その乖離はまだ大きい.その理由は数多く考えらえるが,その一つに制御構造が挙げられる.例えば視覚から得た情報を元にフィードバックを行い,自身の運動に反映させる場合,人の視覚フィードバックにおいては,鍛え上げられたアスリートでさえ150~200[ms]の時間的な遅れがあると言われている.ロボットのフィードバック制御において人と同様の運動を実現する事を目標とした場合,200[ms]の遅れは致命的であり,遅れがあるフィードバックのみで人と同様の運動を実現する事はほぼ不可能に近い.すなわち,感覚情報からのフィードバックの遅れを感じさせない運動生成能力は,フィードバックだけでなく,体性感覚や学習などによって獲得したフィードフォワード系が大きく寄与していると言われている.工学的に言い換えれば,時間遅れに対して非常に頑健な制御構造を有していると言える.これまで,フィードバックとフィードフォワードを組み合わせた制御構造は,運動生理学やロボティクスなどの分野でいくつか提案されているが,決定打はまだない.
本講演では,人間の特徴的な身体構造である筋骨格構造に注目し,講演者がこれまで行ってきた筋骨格構造特有の制御手法により,簡便な手法でありながらセンサ情報の遅れに対して頑健なフィードバックとフィードフォワードの組み合わせによる制御構造について紹介する.本手法では,動力学の逆モデルを必要としない筋内力フィードフォワードと,むだ時間を含む手先フィードバックを線形結合することで,センサ情報に遅れがある場合でもロバストに手先を目標値へ収束させることが可能となる.いくつかの数値シミュレーション結果を元に提案手法の有効性を示す..

Hoshito Tanizaki, Kentaro Takagi, Chihaya Oiwa, Ken Masuya, Kenji Tahara, Toshihira Irisawa, Masatoshi Shioya, Kinji Asaka, Experimental investigation of temperature-dependent hysteresis of fishing-line artificial muscle (twisted and coiled polymer fiber) actuator, Electroactive Polymer Actuators and Devices (EAPAD) XXI 2019, 2019.01, [URL], A fishing-line artificial muscle actuator is typically tested under a constant weight load. This paper reports a new hysteresis phenomenon discovered by changing both load weight and temperature applied to a fishing-line artificial muscle actuator. Obviously the equilibrium position of an actuator changes by load weight. Interestingly, the equilibrium position also largely changes when the actuator is firstly heated and cooled just after exchanging the load weight. In this paper we call this phenomenon as temperature-dependent hysteresis. We have observed that the magnitude of the temperature-dependent hysteresis in the experiment reached the same level as the thermal contraction and was not negligible..

This technique simplifies the teaching of motion to robots based on the observation of human motion. In this method, the contact area on the object is extracted by observing the thermal signature captured by an infrared camera. To understand the intention of human behavior, we propose a grasping identification method using 3D thermal signatures. In addition, we perform a principal component analysis on the contact area and the center of gravity for the contact area of each finger. This method expresses the grasp motion space with a small number of parameters and can be used to enable easy correspondence between human and robot hands. We confirm experimentally that the proposed method is effective for teaching motion to robot..

83. Hiroki Kubota, Kenji Tahara, Two-types force controllers for a prismatic actuation module redundantly driven by multiple sheet-type dielectric elastomer actuators, 2018 IEEE/ASME International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics, AIM 2018, 2018.08, [URL], A prismatic actuation module redundantly driven by multiple sheet-type dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) is developed, and two-types force controllers are proposed to make it control its tensile force with overcoming two representative drawbacks of DEAs. One of two drawbacks of DEAs is a narrow dynamic range of an output force. To cope with this drawback, a force controller that can change the number of activated actuators according to a desired tensile force is proposed. This controller makes it possible to expand the range of output force according to the number of the activated actuators. The other drawback is a short durability, especially breakdown easily occurs when the maximum voltage is steadily inputted. To overcome this drawback, another force controller that can drive the module by activating the only one of several elastomer actuators alternatively depending on time in order for an activating time of the actuator to be short is proposed. This controller makes it possible to reduce the activating time of one actuator with maintaining a desired total output force of the module. First, a prototype of the proposed module is developed, and next, the effectiveness of the proposed two-types force controllers is demonstrated through experiments using the prototype..
84. Shu Ono, Ken Masuya, Kentaro Takagi, Kenji Tahara, Trajectory tracking of a one-DOF manipulator using multiple fishing line actuators by iterative learning control, 1st IEEE International Conference on Soft Robotics, RoboSoft 2018, 2018.07, [URL], In this paper, an iterative learning control scheme for a trajectory tracking task using a one-DOF joint manipulator which is driven by multiple antagonistic fishing line artificial muscle actuators is proposed. The fishing line actuator is one of the soft actuators made by coiling and heating a twisted polymer fiber. It has attracted attention from those who would develop soft robotic devices because it is soft, light, and low-cost. It, however, has several drawbacks, e.g. output force limitation, strong nonlinearity, or energy efficiency, etc. To cope with these drawbacks, firstly a one-DOF manipulator driven by multiple antagonistic actuators is proposed to enhance its output force, and the energy efficiency is analyzed to investigate the relationship between the energy consumption and a number of activated fishing line actuator. Next, an iterative learning control scheme to accomplish a trajectory tracking task by the one-DOF manipulator is proposed to improve its control performance even though under the existence of unknown nonlinearities.

The tendon-driven robot is able to vary the stiffness of joints by sliding variable stiffness mechanisms over the link by wire tensions. As a reason for that structure and moment arms of the tendon-driven robot are changed depending on the position of the variable mechanism. Thus in this paper, the tendon-driven robot with variable stiffness mechanisms is designed, and the stiffness of the tendon-driven robot is evaluated by using a stiffness ellipsoid..

It can be driven by Joule heating and can contract up to 25%. Most of the conventional works employed the linear model of TCPA which represents the relationships between the input voltage, the temperature, and the displacement, but the real TCPA shows the nonlinearity. Although a nonlinear model was proposed based on the curve fitting, it is difficult to apply the model to the various TCPAs. Additionally, the conventional works cannot explain the effect of the convective heat transfer condition on the displacement behavior of TCPA. This paper aims to construct a general nonlinear model of TCPA based on the following two ideas: (1) The energy balance of TCPA and (2) the temperature and velocity dependence of the heat transfer coefficient. The temperature model is obtained from the time derivative of the energy balance, and the displacement model is derived as Lagrange's equation of motion with the dissipation function. Through experiments, it is verified that the proposed model is closer to the real dynamics than the conventional linear model..

It is made of commercially available polymer fiber. It is heat-driven actuator, so that its efficiency and responsiveness are low. However it is a low-cost, light-weight, large-force, large-stroke, quiet actuator and can be easily made. It is roughly divided into the contract type actuator and the torsional type actuator. In this study, we focus on the torsional type actuator and aim at black-box modeling and controlling it. Torsional type fishing-line actuator generates torsional torque and limited rotation angle. In this paper, we assume first-order transfer function as the model of the torque from the electrical power applied the actuator. In the experiment, we measure the torque and identify the system. Then we control the torque of it with PI control, and validate the model and design of control system..

Above all, the dielectric elastomer actuator is useful for the robot because of its relatively high output force and voltage driving. However, the dielectric elastomer actuator has several drawbacks that its stroke is small, and a characteristic that is extended when inputting a voltage. In this paper, by combining a joint system driven by antagonistic dielectric elastomer actuators and four-bar linkage, a 1 DOF manipulator which a has large range of motion is developed. In addition, the joint angle and force controllers of this manipulator are introduced, and those performance is verified experimentally..

TCPA is made by two methods: 1) overtwisting the fiber and 2) winding the twisted fiber around the mandrel. The former output the larger force than the latter, while the former shows the smaller stroke. In order to realize the coexistence of large stroke and large output force, we combine multiple TCPAs fabricated by the latter method. The performance of the actuator unit is investigated through the experiment. Additionally, it is verified that the feedforward controller based on the authors' nonlinear displacement model can reduce the offset error compared with that based on the linear model..

Kentaro Takagi, Takeshi Arakawa, Jun Takeda, Ken Masuya, Kenji Tahara, Kinji Asaka, Position control of twisted and coiled polymer actuator using a controlled fan for cooling, Electroactive Polymer Actuators and Devices (EAPAD) 2017, 2017.03, Recently, artificial muscles made of fishing lines or sewing threads, namely twisted and coiled polymer actuators (TCPAs), have been proposed by Haines et al. A TCPA contracts by applying heat and returns to its initial length by cooling. A TCPA can be driven by voltage if the TCPA is plated by metal or if conductive wire such as nichrome is wound around it. Compared with the conventional electroactive polymers, advantages of TCPAs are low cost, simple structure, large actuation strain, and large force. However, a big disadvantage of TCPAs is slow response due to heat transfer. The problem becomes apparent during cooling, although the response of heating can be improved by feedback control. This paper proposes a control method of switching heating and cooling. In the proposed method, a TCPA is cooled by an electric cooling fan. When the TCPA is heating, the cooling fan is stopped. In a previous report, the response speed can be improved by keeping cooling fan always on; however, unnecessary energy consumption is required even during heating. In the proposed method, energy consumption during heating does not increase and the response speed can be improved using fan only during cooling. The proposed control law is as follows. Firstly, the desired control input is determined by PI-D control with respect to the length of the actuator. Then, the control inputs to the heater and to the cooling fan are switched according to the sign of the PI-D controller output. The effectiveness of the proposed control method is demonstrated by comparing the cases with and without the cooling fan in the experiments..

The previous method is robust against a considerable time-delay in sensory information, but it still requires large muscular forces to accomplish a desired position, and the maximum exertable muscular force has not yet been taken into consideration. To cope with these two issues, two variable parameters are newly introduced. One is for changing the combination ratio of feed-forward and feedback controllers to reduce necessary muscular forces. The other is for avoiding the saturation of muscular forces during movement The effectiveness of the proposed controller is demonstrated through several numerical simulation results..

Takeshi Arakawa, Kentaro Takagi, Kenji Tahara, Kinji Asaka, Position control of fishing line artificial muscles (coiled polymer actuators) from nylon thread, Electroactive Polymer Actuators and Devices (EAPAD) 2016, 2016.03, Recently, fishing line artificial muscle has been developed and is paid much attention due to the properties such as large contraction, light weight and extremely low cost. Typical fishing line artificial muscle is made from Nylon thread and made by just twisting the polymer. In this paper, because of the structure of the actuator, such actuators may be named as coiled polymer actuators (CPAs). In this paper, a CPA is fabricated from commercial Nylon fishing line and Ni-Cr alloy (Nichrome) wire is wound around it. The CPA contracts by the Joule heat generated by applied voltage to the Nichrome wire. For designing the control system, a simple model is proposed. According to the physical principle of the actuator, two first-order transfer functions are introduced to represent the actuator model. One is a system from the input power to the temperature and the other is a system from the temperature to the deformation. From the system identification result, it is shown that the dominant dynamics is the system from the input power to the temperature. Using the developed model, position control of the voltage-driven CPA is discussed. Firstly, the static nonlinearity from the voltage to the power is eliminated. Then, a 2-DOF PID controller which includes an inversion-based feed forward controller and a PID controller are designed. In order to demonstrate the proposed controller, experimental verification is shown..

Tetsuya Morizono, Kenji Tahara, Hitoshi Kino, Experimental investigation of contribution of biarticular actuation to mappings between sensory and motor spaces, 41st Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, IECON 2015, 2016.01, This paper considers experimental investigation of an antagonistically actuated robot manipulator. The focus of the investigation is how biarticular actuation contributes to control of the manipulator. Based on the feature that antagonistically robot manipulators can be controlled by feedforward control with constant inputs, this paper treats the case of PTP (point-to-point) control of robot postures. Due to expectation of difficulty for analytical approach, this paper takes experimental methodology of acquiring mappings between sensory and motor spaces by ANNs (artificial neural networks). Based on the idea that contribution of biarticular actuation may be influenced by choice of a sensory space, this paper considers not only joint angles of a manipulator but also Cartesian coordinate and angles in binocular visual space at the hand of the manipulator as sensory spaces. For each of them, the mappings obtained from trained ANNs are compared for the cases with and without biarticular actuation, based on interpolation performance of the ANNs examined through PTP control of the manipulator. The results of the comparison shows that choice of a sensory space is less effective to the interpolation performance in the case of biarticular actuation..

Hiroaki Ochi, Hitoshi Kino, Kenji Tahara, Yuki Matsutani, Geometrie conditions for feedforward positioning of musculoskeletal tendon-driven structure, 41st Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, IECON 2015, 2016.01, The human body possesses a musculoskeletal structure in which muscles exist around the bones and joints. The musculoskeletal tendon-driven robot utilizes this structure. This robotic system uses sets of mechanical tendons, such as wire-cables and actuators instead of the vital muscles. The redundant actuation is necessary for the system when it does not actively use any external force nor a tensioner because the mechanical tendon can transmit only a tensile force. This structural characteristic enables feedforward motion-generation that does not need any sensory feedback. However, the convergent posture strongly depends on the tendon-arrangement. Targeting the tendon-driven manipulator, which has two links and six tendons, this paper expands the mathematical conditions for the convergence into the geometric conditions of tendon-arrangement. Based on the geometric conditions, a design method of the tendon-arrangement is discussed..

An evaluation value of grasp stability is derived as the minimum energy which causes slippage of a fingertip on its contact surface. To formulate the evaluation value, the elastic potential energy of fingertips and the gravitational potential energy of a grasped object are considered. It is ensured that fingertips do not slip on grasped object surfaces if the external energy applied to the object is less than the evaluation value. Since our evaluation value explicitly considers the deformation values of fingertips, grasp stability is evaluated by taking into consideration the contact forces generated by the deformation. The effectiveness of our method is verified through numerical examples..

In our previous work, the set-point control method for a musculoskeletal system was proposed which combines a feedforward control with a sensory feedback control including a considerable time-delay. However, the maximum output force of each muscle have not been considered though it sometimes induces a wind-up phenomenon because of the saturation of the muscular force. The ratio function to determine the ratio of feedforward and feedback control inputs is newly introduced in this paper to prevent such a wind-up phenomenon without the saturation of muscular force, and generate more sophisticated reaction motion even if disturbances are added on the end-point during movement. Numerical simulation results are shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method..

In our previous work [1], the object virtual frame has been presented instead of an actual frame to manipulate an object without any external sensing information. A desired position and attitude of the object, however, has not been necessarily realized using the method because of no external sensing information. In order to cope with that, a new virtual frame is proposed based on a 3D laser range sensor data including considerable noise and time-delay in this paper. Firstly a particle filter is designed to estimate the position and attitude of the object from the sensing information. Then the new virtual frame is designed based on estimations of the particle filter..

The linear actuator intrinsically owns enough back driverbility because there is no reduction gear. Namely, it is possible to prevent tumble of a people who wears this device even if the device suddenly makes unexpected motion. This is because the people can easily resist against an output force of the actuator due to high backdrivability. A joint torque controller to assist a swing leg which is designed, and a numerical walking simulation is conducted to verify the effectiveness of assistance of the proposed device. From these simulation results, an effective feedback controller in terms of energy consumption is designed..

Tomofumi Okada, Kenji Tahara, Development of a two-link planar manipulator with continuously variable transmission mechanism, 2014 IEEE/ASME International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics, AIM 2014, 2014.07, This paper proposes a novel two-link planar manipulator with continuously variable transmission (CVT) mechanism by means of plural linear shaft motors. In our previous works, we have proposed the parallel-link manipulator with the CVT mechanism which has two orthogonal DOFs. However, its configuration is not useful for a practical field because only one main link can be rotated around two joints like a joystick. In order for this mechanism to be more useful, the two-link planar type manipulator with the CVT is newly modeled and developed. Firstly, the proposed manipulator is modeled, and its control signals are designed. Next, the output force of the end-point of the manipulator is evaluated by using both the Manipulating-Force Ellipsoid and the Dynamic Manipulability Ellipsoid. After that, several fundamental experiments are performed to evaluate the CVT mechanism and show the effectiveness of the proposed manipulator..

The proposed system consists of a fishlike body and a pair of flexible wing. The flexible wing mechanism utilizes a Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) actuator to realize small and lightweight system with high output/weight ratio. The SMA actuator can be controlled to adjust the shape. In the flow of water, shape of the wings is controlled and then the fluid resistance will be changed. Then, we can control the posture of the robot. The wing mechanism is constructed mainly from flexible materials. Thus, range of the fluid resistance becomes different between the high speed flow and low speed flow. In the fast flow condition, flexible wing mechanism is compressed and the range of the shape control becomes low. Then, the mechanism can control the posture of the robot under the various flow speeds..

In this index, an evaluation value of grasp stability is derived as the minimum energy which causes slippage of a fingertip on a grasped object surface. Elastic potential energy of the fingertips and gravitational potential energy of the object are considered in this index. It is ensured that any fingertip does not slip on a grasped object surface if the external energy added to the object is less than the evaluation value. This index has good features as follows. (i) Contact forces corresponding to the grasping state are taken into account. (ii) It is possible to derive a condition of stable grasp including the kinetic energy of a grasped object. The effectiveness of this index is verified through several numerical examples..

In our previous works, a feed-forward positioning method for the musculoskeletal-like robotic systems has been proposed. In the method, the position regulation of the system can be accomplished by inputting a desired internal force balancing at a desired position. It has been quite effective for the muscle-like driven mechanism because no sensor is necessary to regulate the position. However, this method often induces an overshoot phenomenon when performing a set-point control. In addition, there is another intrinsic problem that musculoskeletal-like redundant-driven mechanisms own the ill-posed problems that the internal force is unable to determine uniquely. In this paper, for the farmer problem, a muscle-like nonlinear viscosity is newly added to the controller to reduce such an overshoot phenomenon and then to expand the stable region of the manipulator. For the latter problem, a determination method of the internal force using a reinforcement learning scheme is newly proposed. In what follows, firstly a new feed-forward controller which considers the muscle-like viscosity is introduced, and shows its effectiveness through numerical simulations. Next, the determination method of the internal force using a reinforcement learning scheme is proposed and its effectiveness is also shown through numerical simulations..

Taking notice of the structural characteristics that a human possesses inherently, this paper analyzes feedforward position control for the musculoskeletal system. The feedforward positioning does not need any sensory feedback by use of internal force balancing at a desired posture. Targeting a non-pulley musculoskeletal system with two links and six muscles, this paper clarifies mathematical conditions of the feedforward positioning to converge at a desired posture. In the analysis, muscular length is approximated by Taylor expansion. Based on quasi-statical approach, the convergent conditions are clarified. The verification of the conditions is conducted through simulation..

Targeting a planar two-link musculoskeletal system with six muscles as a case study, the motion convergence depending on the muscular arrangement is examined. The results indicate that the motion convergence is extremely sensitive to the muscular arrangement and that adding small offsets for the points of muscle connection can remarkably improve the positioning performance..

However, the muscular arrangement has been determined heuristically so far. In this paper, differentiation of joint torque is focused on the design method of the muscular arrangement to improve motion range. In addition, a moment arm of muscles to evaluate motion convergence is introduced. The usefulness of this proposal method is shown by a numerical simulation..

Kenji Tahara, Yuta Kuboyama, Ryo Kurazume, Iterative learning control for a musculoskeletal arm Utilizing multiple space variables to improve the robustness, 25th IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Robotics and Intelligent Systems, IROS 2012, 2012.10, In this paper, a new iterative learning control method which uses multiple space variables for a musculoskeletal-like arm system is proposed to improve the robustness against noises being included in sensory information. In our previous works, the iterative learning control method for the redundant musculoskeletal arm to acquire a desired endpoint trajectory simultaneous with an adequate internal force was proposed. The controller was designed using only muscle space variables, such as a muscle length and contractile velocity. It is known that the movement of the musculoskeletal system can be expressed in a hierarchical three-layered space which is composed of the muscle space, the joint space and the task space. Thus, the new iterative learning control input is composed of multiple space variables to improve its performance and robustness. Numerical simulations are conducted and their result is evaluated from the viewpoint of the robustness to noises of sensory information. An experiment is performed using a prototype of musculoskeletal-like manipulator, and the practical usefulness of the proposed method is demonstrated through the result..

There still remain several problems in visual servoing methods although they are quite useful and effective for dexterous object manipulation. For instance, time-delays to obtain necessary information for object manipulation from visual images induce unstable behavior. The time-delays are mainly caused by low sampling rate of visual sensing system, computational cost for image processing, and latency of data transmission from visual sensor to processor. The method makes it possible to avoid such unstable behavior of the systems due to considerable time-delays using virtual object frame defined by only each joint angle. Firstly, a new control scheme for object manipulation using the virtual object frame is designed. Next, numerical simulations are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the control scheme. Finally, experimental results are shown to demonstrate the practical usefulness of proposed method..

In the proposed system, SMA actuators are bended at the end effector and the bended angles are controllable. Thus, the stiffness of the system can be adjusted by the bended angles. In addition, to control the end effector to the desired position, we developed a position control method based on the internal force using only the geometric constraints of the system. The validity of the proposed method was examined by some experiments..

This method, which utilizes a dual-fingered hand of which each soft and hemispheric fingertip owns a torsional joint, has performed novel 3-dimensional dynamic object grasping and manipulation stably without the use of any external sensing device. However, several limitation and weakness have still remained in terms of dexterity and robustness. In order to improve it, firstly a triple-fingered hand is newly introduced instead of the dual-fingered hand to perform regrasping. Next, the previously proposed stable object grasping controller is adequately modified to perform dynamic regrasping during manipulation. Additionally, the virtual object attitude controller is also modified to improve its performance. Finally, several experiments are conducted by using a prototype, and the usefulness of proposed controller is demonstrated through these results..

The backdrivability is important and necessary for robots that operate around our life space to guarantee the safety of us, themselves and environments. A rotational actuator with a high reduction ratio reducer has been commonly used in traditional robotics field, but it cannot realize the high-backdrivability without any sensory feedback. In this study, several high-backdrivable shaft actuators are used instead of it. Moreover, the CVT mechanism which is brought by a novel configuration of the parallel mechanism is employed effectively. To utilize multiple shaft actuators with the CVT mechanism is able to surmount a drawback of the shaft actuator whose output force is relatively weak. A simple 1 DOF manipulator is proposed as the first step of this study. Firstly, its kinematic and dynamic models are given. Next, a PD type feedback control signal to regulate the arm's angle and the CVT simultaneously is designed. A static relation between an output end-point force and the CVT mechanism is analyzed. Finally, several fundamental experiments are conducted to show the effectiveness of proposed mechanism..

Visual information is one of the fundamental components for reliable grasping and manipulation by a multi-fingered hand-arm system. However, in case that visual information such as position and attitude of an object comes to be unavailable due to the occlusion or if the object goes out-of-sight temporarily, unstable and unfavorable behavior is often induced. The proposed method, which utilizes the stable grasping control and the concept of virtual frame, enables to grasp and manipulate an object stably even if the visual information becomes suddenly and temporarily unavailable during manipulation. Firstly, a dynamical model of object grasping using a multi-fingered hand-arm system is formulated. Next, a new control scheme for robust object grasping and manipulation using the virtual frame is proposed. Finally, numerical simulations are performed to verify the usefulness of the proposed method..

This enhancement makes it possible to grasp more various shaped objects which could not have been grasped by our previous method. In our previous method, a force/torque equilibrium condition to satisfy stable object grasping has been realized by only using grasping forces normal to an object surfaces. It is because each fingertip is soft and hemispheric and then rolling constraints arise during movement, and these phenomena cannot be stopped while existing the rolling constraint forces. Therefore, satisfying the dynamic force/torque equilibrium condition depends not only on a configuration of the multi-fingered hand system, but also on the shape of the grasped object. In this paper, a class of satisfying the force/torque equilibrium condition is expanded by generating counter tangential forces to suspend the rolling motion of each fingertip. In order to generate the counter tangential force, a relative attitude constraint between each finger is introduced. Firstly, a rolling constraint between each fingertip and object surface is given. Then, a relative attitude constraint control signal to generate constantly-produced tangential forces is designed. Finally, it is demonstrated through numerical simulations that the proposed control method accomplishes to grasp arbitrary shaped polyhedral objects and regulate its position and attitude, simultaneously..

Kenji Tahara, Suguru Arimoto, Iterative learning scheme for a redundant manipulator Skilled hand writing motion on an arbitrary smooth surface, 2011 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, ICRA 2011, 2011.05, This paper proposes an iterative learning control scheme for a redundant manipulator to acquire a skilled hand writing motion of its end-point specified on an arbitrary smooth surface. Firstly, the existence of a unique solution to the Lagrange equation of motion of the robot, whose end-point motion is coincident with a given desired end-point trajectory described in Cartesian coordinate system, is shown theoretically. Second, the iterative learning control signal that enables the robot end-point to trace a desired trajectory specified on an arbitrary smooth surface with fulfilling a desired contact force is designed. Next, a numerical simulation for the iterative learning scheme is conducted to show the effectiveness of the proposed controller, and its result is compared to a theoretically derived desired joint angle trajectory. This comparison shows that there exists a unique solution of the desired joint angle trajectory when an initial pose of the manipulator and a desired end-point trajectory on the constraint surface are given, even under the existence of holonomic constraint and joint redundancy..

The proposed method is based on a simple sensory-feedback control using the information of an object attitude, and any mathematically complicated computation, such as calculation of inverse dynamics and kinematics, are not required. In addition, the stability of the overall system applied this method is verified. Firstly, nonholonomic rolling constraints between a multi-fingered hand-arm system and an object are formulated. Then, a novel control method for stable grasping and attitude regulation of the grasped object is proposed. It is assumed that information of the attitude of the object is available in real time by external sensors, such as vision, force, tactile sensors, and so on. Next, the stability of the overall system is verified by analyzing the closed-loop dynamics. Finally, it is demonstrated through numerical simulations that our proposed method enables to grasp the object with arbitrary shape, and regulate the attitude of the object stably..

The internal force has the particular potential field. Using this property, we can control the position of a musculoskeletal system without any sensory feedback. However, the internal force can not be selected uniquely due to the muscular redundancy. This paper proposes a decision method of the internal force for the feedforward positioning. The usefulness of the proposed method is demonstrated through numeral analysis..

Kenji Tahara, Hitoshi Kino, Iterative learning scheme for a redundant musculoskeletal arm Task space learning with joint and muscle redundancies, 5th International Conference on Broadband Wireless Computing, Communication and Applications, BWCCA 2010, 2010.11, This paper proposes an iterative learning control scheme in a task space for a musculoskeletal redundant planar arm model to accomplish a desired time dependent trajectory tracking task. In our previous work, we have proposed the iterative learning control scheme in a muscle length space for a two-link six-muscle planar arm model. This proposed method has been effective for performing a time dependent desired trajectory tracking task even under the existence of strong nonlinearity of muscles dynamics. However in the previous work, a muscle redundancy only treated, and a joint redundancy has not yet been considered. Also a solution of inverse kinematics from the task space to the joint angle space must be calculated in real-time. This paper considers both muscle and joint redundancies, and the task space iterative learning scheme is newly exploited. By introducing the task space controller, it is unnecessary to compute inverse kinematics from the task space to the joint space in real-time. Firstly, a three-joint nine-muscle redundant planar arm is modeled. Secondly, the task space iterative learning control signal is designed. Then finally, the effectiveness of our proposed controller is illustrated through some numerical simulation results even under the existence of both redundancies and the nonlinear muscle dynamics..

This tactile sensing is useful when a multi-jointed multi-fingered robotic hand manipulates a tool which has a joint. This estimation requires sensing of the location of a contact point and the direction of an edge of the tool as contact information measured by a robotic fingertip. A conventional hard fingertip with a force sensor can measure only the location of a contact point. In contrast, we have already developed a robotic fingertip with a force sensor and a soft skin, and it can measure not only the location of a contact point but also the direction of an edge of an object. The estimation of a joint-axis of a linked object is demonstrated by using the soft fingertip..

Kenji Tahara, Hitoshi Kino, Iterative learning control for a redundant musculoskeletal arm Acquisition of adequate internal force, 23rd IEEE/RSJ 2010 International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, IROS 2010, 2010.10, This paper presents a proposal of an iterative learning control method for a musculoskeletal arm to acquire adequate internal force to realize human-like natural movements. Additionally, a dynamic damping ellipsoid at the end-point is introduced to evaluate internal forces obtained through the iterative learning. In our previous works, we have presented that a human-like smooth reaching movement using a musculoskeletal redundant arm model can be obtained by introducing a nonlinear muscle model and "the Virtual spring-damper hypothesis". However, the internal forces have been determined heuristically, so far. In this paper, an iterative learning control method is used for acquisition of an adequate dynamic damping ellipsoid according to a given task, in order to determine internal forces more systematically. It is presented that the learning control scheme can perform effectively to realize given desired tasks, even under the existence of strong nonlinear characteristics of the muscles. After acquiring a given task, the dynamic damping ellipsoid is introduced to evaluate the relation between a damping effect generated by the acquired internal forces and a trajectory of the end-point. Some numerical simulations are performed and the usefulness of the learning control strategy, despite strong nonlinearity of the muscles, is demonstrated through these results..

In our previous works, a dynamic object grasping method without use of any external sensing, called "the Blind Grasping", has been proposed. Although stable grasping in a dynamic sense has been realized by the method, a simultaneous object position and attitude control has not yet been treated, so far. In this paper, instead of using any information of the real object position and attitude, virtual data of object position and attitude are introduced by defining a virtual frame. By using the virtual information, a control signal to regulate the virtual object position and attitude without use of any external sensing is designed. The usefulness of our proposed control method even under the existence of nonholonomic rolling constraints is illustrated through a numerical simulation result..

By using the torsional motion of the fingertips, a novel 3-dimensional dynamic object manipulation without use of any external sensing can be achieved even though the hand system has only two fingers. Firstly, our proposed system, which includes contact models between each fingertip and surfaces of an object, is modeled. A rolling contact between each fingertip and the object surfaces can be allowed because our proposed system has soft and deformable hemispheric fingertips. Moreover, a torsional contact model between each fingertip and the object surfaces is newly proposed. It is based on an assumption that the torsional motion induces an elastic strain potential. Secondly, a dynamic object manipulation control method is designed. The control signal is composed of four parts, the one is for grasping the object stably, the second one is for controlling a position of the object, the third one is for controlling an attitude of the object, and the last one is for the torsional fingertip motion. A numerical simulation based on our model is performed, and a manipulation experiment by using our developed setup is performed. The usefulness of our proposed method is demonstrated through these results..

Kenji Tahara, Suguru Arimoto, Morio Yoshida, Dynamic force/torque equilibrium for stable grasping by a triple robotic fingers system, 2009 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, IROS 2009, 2009.12, This paper proposes a stable object grasping method to realize dynamic force/torque equilibrium by using a triple robotic fingers system with soft and deformable hemispherical fingertips. In the authors' previous works, "Blind Grasping" control scheme, which realizes stable object grasping without use of any external sensing such as vision, force, or tactile sensing in the case of using a pair of robot fingers, has been proposed. This control methodology is based on a unique configuration of human hand, called "Fingers-Thumb Opposability". In this paper, a ternary finger in addition to a pair of fingers is introduced not only to expand a stable region of grasping, but also to enhance dexterity and versatility of the multi-fingered robotic hand system. To this end, a "Blind Grasping" manner is modified in order to install it in the triple fingers system. First, dynamics of the triple robotic fingers system and a grasped object with considering rolling constraints is modeled, and a control input based on the blind grasping manner is designed. Next, the closed-loop dynamics is derived and a stability analysis is shown briefly. Finally, its usefulness is discussed through numerical simulation results..

The proposed method is simple but easily achieves stable grasping of an arbitrary polyhedral object using an arbitrary number of fingers. Firstly, we formulate nonholonomic constraints between a multi-fingered hand-arm system and an object constrained by rolling contact with finger tips, and derive a condition for stable grasping by stability analysis. A new index for evaluating the possibility of stable grasping is proposed and efficient initial relative positions between finger tips and the object for realizing stable grasping are analyzed. The stability of the proposed system and the validity of the index are verified through numerical simulations..

Morio Yoshida, Suguru Arimoto, Kenji Tahara, Pinching 2D object with arbitrary shape by two robot fingers under rolling constraints, 2009 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, IROS 2009, 2009.12, Modeling of pinching an object with arbitrary shape by a pair of robot fingers with hemispherical ends in a horizontal plane is proposed in a mathematical and computational manner. Since the curvature of an object contour with an arbitrary curve is variable according to the change of the contact point between the object surface and the rigid finger tip, the arclength paremeter "s" explicitly appears in the overall fingers-object dynamics. It is shown that the overall fingers-object system should be accompanied with the first-order differential equation of the parameter "s" that includes the curvatures of both the object contour and finger-tip curve. A control input, which is of the same category as the control input called "blind grasping" appeared in our former papers, is utilized for the realization of stable grasp. The control input does neither need to use the kinematic information of the object nor use any external sensing. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out in order to confirm the effectiveness of our proposed model and control input..

We define an index measure for segmenting a human manipulation task into primitives. The indices are calculated from the set of the contact forces measured at all the contact points during a manipulation task. Then, we apply the EM algorithm to the set of the indices in order to segment the manipulation task into primitives. These primitives are mapped onto the robotic hand to impose appropriate contact forces on a grasped object. In the experiments, manipulation tasks performed in daily human life have been successfully segmented..

The overall finger-object dynamics with rolling and contact constraints is derived as Euler-Lagrange' equation of motion and the first differential equation with curvatures of the contours is derived for updating the length parameters. Despite the complicated mathematical structure, a control input signal is proposed, which can be constructed without using object geometrical information or external sensing, and it is shown that it is effective to stabilize rotation of the object. Consequently, numerical simulations are carried out in order to demonstrate the practicality of the proposed model and control signal..

The control signal of the proposed method is simple but it can easily achieve stable grasping without external sensors and an orientation control of a grasped object. Firstly, holonomic constraints between a dual-arm manipulator with multi-fingered hands and the object surfaces are formulated, and the stability of the system is discussed through its convergence analysis. Next, it is shown that the relationship between a final orientation of an object and initial contact positions of finger tips becomes quasi-linear. Using this quasi-linear relationship, an orientation control method utilizing regrasping of the object is derived. It is verified that the proposed method enables to perform simple orientation control of the object without real-time external sensing through numerical simulations..

First, position/force hybrid control of an endeffector of a multijoint redundant (or nonredundant) robot under a nonholonomic constraint is reinterpreted in terms of "submersion" in Riemannian geometry. A force control signal constructed in the image space spanned from the constraint gradient can be regarded as a lifting in the direction orthogonal to the kernel space. By means of the Riemannian distance on the constraint submanifold, stability on a manifold for a redundant system under holonomic constraints is discussed. Second, control and stabilization of dynamics of two-dimensional object grasping and manipulation by using a pair of multi-joint robot fingers are tackled, when a rigid object is given with arbitrary shape. Then, it is shown that rolling contact constraint induce the Euler equation of motion in an implicit function form, in which constraint forces appear as wrench vectors affecting on the object. The Riemannian metric can be introduced in a natural way on a constraint submanifold induced by rolling contacts. A control signal called "blind grasping" is defined and shown to be effective in stabilization of grasping without using the details of information of object shape and parameters or external sensing. The concept of stability of the closedloop system under constraints is renewed in order to overcome the degrees-of-freedom redundancy problem. An extension of Dirichlet-Lagrange's stability theorem to a system of DOFredundancy under constraints is presented by using a Morse- Lyapunov function..

Changing the internal force enables to control not only joint angles but also impedance, so that vertebrate animals can produce a motion according to a situation. Focusing on a musculoskeletal system with two links and six muscles, this paper investigate the effect of biarticular muscles when feedforward position control is inputted. This control gives the constant internal force balancing at desired posture as feedforward input, based on the EP hypothesis in physiology. From the result, we point out that the biarticular muscles can reduce the convergent time of the motion, and theyalso can stabilize the system..

Moreover, it becomes possible to simplify the motion planning of the hand system for a part of object manipulation. First, we show the mechanism of our robotic hand.

303. Kenji Tahara, Suguru Arimoto, Morio Yoshida, Dynamic object grasping by a triple-fingered robotic hand, 2008 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, IROS, 2008.09, This paper deals with dynamic object grasping and position control by using a triple-fingered robotic hand with hemispherical soft finger tips. In the authors' previous works, a dynamic object grasping method by using a pair of robotic fingers, called "Blind Grasping", which does not need to use any external sensing, was proposed. However, it is so far assumed that spinning motion around the opposite axis for the object does not occur during the overall movement, because there are only two opposite fingers and thereby the spinning is uncontrollable. By introducing a surplus finger in addition to a pair of robotic fingers, this spinning can be inhibited and it becomes controllable. In this paper, a triple-fingered robotic hand system with nonholonomic constraints is modeled, and a control input to realize stable grasping with object position control is proposed. Its usefulness and effectiveness are illustrated through some numerical simulation results..

In our previous works, "blind touching", which is defined as a point-to-point control scheme for the robot to realize a desired contact position and a contact force simultaneously without any external sensing, have proposed. In this paper, an iterative learning control manner to realize a desired continuous trajectory of the center of the contact point together with a desired contact force on the task plane is proposed. The usefulness of this learning control method is demonstrated by showing results of computer simulations..

However, since the skillful human-like task ability is so difficult to be formulated for the robot, not only the analytical and theoretical control researches but also the direct human motion mimetic approach is necessary. In this paper, we propose that to realize the environmental interactive tasks, such as human care tasks, it is insufficient to replay the human motion along. We show a novel motion generation approach to integrate the cognitive information into the mimic of human motions so as to realize the final complex task by the robot..

Kenji Tahara, Suguru Arimoto, Zhi Wei Luo, Morio Yoshida, On control for "blind touching" by human-like thumb robots, 2007 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, ICRA'07, 2007.04, Human can pinch or grasp and manipulate an object stably and dexterously. Accomplishment of such tasks is contributed from human hand's configuration, called "Fingers-thumb opposability". This opposability of the thumb against other digits is specific and granted to only human among primates. When we use a cell phone, or change a TV's channel using a remote controller, we grasp it by a palm and digits other than the thumb, and push buttons using the thumb quickly, without looking the buttons. These kinds of thumb's movement seem to be one of the most intelligent movements in a human. Therefore, execution of such touching tasks without visual or tactile sensing is called in this paper "Blind Touching". The goal of this research is to realize human-like "Blind Touching" by means of a 5 D.O.F. thumb robot model with soft and hemispherical finger-tip. To do this, we formulate a simultaneous contact position and touching force control by using 3-Dimensional rolling contact with the task plane. First, dynamics of the 5 D.O.F. thumb robot model with hemispherical soft finger-tip under rolling constraints is derived. Then, a sensory-motor control law without vision, force or tactile sensing is proposed. Some numerical simulations show that the desired contact position and touching force can be attained by the proposed control scheme. A theoretical proof of convergence to the desired state is also presented..

Kenji Tahara, Zhi Wei Luo, Suguru Arimoto, On control mechanism of human-like reaching movements with musculo-skeletal redundancy, 2006 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, IROS 2006, 2006.10, This paper focuses on a sensory-motor control mechanism in human reaching movements from the perspective of robotics. By formulating a musculo-skeletal redundant system which takes into account a nonlinear muscle property and performing numerical simulations, we suggest that the human-like reaching movements can be realized by using only simple task-space feedback scheme together with the internal force effect coming from nonlinear property of muscles without any complex mathematical computation such as an inverse dynamics or some optimal trajectory derivation. Firstly, we introduce both kinematics and dynamics of a three-link serial manipulator with six monoarticular muscles and three biarticular muscles model whose movements are limited within a horizontal plane. Secondly, the nonlinear muscle property coming from a physiological study based on Hill's muscle model, is taken into consideration. This nonlinearity makes it possible to modulate the damping effect in joint-space by considering the internal force generated by the redundant muscles. By utilizing this feature, the end-point converges to the desired point using only simple task-space feedback control scheme, even thought the system owns both the joint and muscle redundancies. Finally, we illustrate numerical simulations to show the effectiveness of the control scheme, and suggest one of the direction to study brain-motor control mechanism of human movements..

We first formulate the kinematics and dynamics of a two-link arm model with six muscles, and introduce the nonlinear muscle dynamics based on the biological understanding. Secondly, we show the stability of the system by using intrinsic muscle characteristics and La Salle's invariance theorem. From this result and the numerical simulations, we propose that the reaching movement can be regulated by the internal forces of the redundant muscles, in detail, the muscle's internal forces can be used to control the damping of the joints. In addition, human can compensate the gravity by using antigravity muscles. To realize this effect in the arm, we propose the gravity compensation method at the muscle input level from the viewpoint of robotics. We present the result of numerical simulation to verify the usefulness of this compensation method..

Kenji Tahara, Zhi Wei Luo, Suguru Arimoto, Hitoshi Kino, Task-space feedback control for a two-link arm driven by six muscles with variable damping and elastic properties, 2005 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2005.04, It is well-known that a human musculo-skeletal body is redundant in terms of both kinematics and dynamics. The former means that the degree of freedom in joint space is larger than that in task space, and the latter means that a joint is driven by a number of muscles. All human skillful movements can be performed by using both redundancies. However, these redundancies induce the underlying ill-posedness problem that each joint angle and muscle's output forces cannot be uniquely determined. These ill-posedness problems are known as "Bernstein's problem" and are important to understand how human multi-joint movements are produced. In this study, we address the latter redundancy problem on how muscle's output forces can be determined from the viewpoint of robotics. In this paper, we consider a reaching movement by means of a two-link planar arm with six muscles and show that both damping and elastic properties coming from nonlinear dynamics of the muscles play a crucial role. By using a simple task space feedback control input together with an additional term to control the internal force to regulate damping and elasticity in joint space, we show some simulation results which exhibit human-like quasi-straight line movement..

This system consists of a 3D motion capturing system, which has 6 high-speed cameras, 8 force plates, 10 3-axis accelerometers and 32 EMG sensors. To reconstruct the human's complex movement in VR space, a dynamic simulation model of human muscle-skeletal body is constructed. This model has 100 segments of born and has totally 105 D.O.F. in whole body, and also 300 muscles are included in this model. These muscles have the properties of stiffness, damping and contractive force generation. This platform makes it possible for construct human dynamic motion control functions more precisely and is thus useful for biomimetic robots. By using the super-redundant human body model, we are studying the brain motor control functions through the dynamic simulations..

A sphere is considered here as a manipulated object. The control law is designed based on integration of voluntary and reflex movements considering the system's redundancy. The voluntary task for holding the object is realized by impedance control at the four contact points with the object using the contact force information from the sensitive skin. The reflection on the other hand is introduced as a regulation problem of the direction between the points of end-effectors and elbows. The solution for the redundant control is formulated and derived from the optimization point of view. The validity of the proposed method is investigated by numerical simulations..

Firstly, geometrical relationships in the overall fingers-object system are discussed through four algebraic constraints between the finger tips and surfaces of the object. Then, differential algebraic equations expressing dynamics of the overall system are derived. Secondly, a sensory feedback signal for concurrent grasp and orientation control of the object is proposed and a full description of matrix form for numerically solving the closed-loop differential algebraic equation of the overall fingers-object system on the basis of the CSM (constraint stabilization method) is presented. Thirdly, simulation results of grasping and orientation control of the object are shown and then, the effects of each term of the proposed control input signal on the system performances are discussed. Finally, a guidance of gain tuning is suggested on the basis of well-known force-velocity characteristics of human muscle in muscle physiology..

The experiments were carried out in the case that a parallelepiped object is placed on a non-slippery plate in a horizontal plane and motion of the fingers and the object is confined to the plane. As predicted from the theoretical analyses, experimental results show that stable grasping in a dynamic sense is realized by a sensory feedback constructed by using measurement data of finger joint angles and the rotational angle of the object. Further, it is shown from the experiments that an additional sensory feedback works well in realizing concurrent stable grasp and orientation control of the object..

Yamaguchi, Existence of feedbacks from sensing to action for stable grasping and dextrous manipulation by multi-fingered robot hands, Proceedings of the 2001 IEEE International Conference on Control Applications CCA '01, 2001.09, This paper derives lumped-parameter dynamics of motion of a pair of robot fingers with soft and deformable tips pinching a rigid object. The dynamics of the system in which area contacts between the finger-tips and the surfaces of the object arise are compared with those of a pair of rigid robot fingers with rigid contacts with an object. It is then shown that even in the simplest case of dual single degree-of-freedom fingers there exists a sensory feedback from measurement of finger joint angles and the rotational angle of the object to command inputs to joint actuators and this feedback connection from sensing to action eventually realizes stable grasping of the object, provided that the object is a rectangular parallelepiped and motion is confined to a horizontal plane. It is further shown that in the case of a pair of one d.o.f. and two d.o.f. fingers with soft tips there exists a sensory feedback that realizes not only stable grasping but also regulating the posture of the object at a specified rotational angle..

T A Nguyen, Robotic pinching by means of a pair of soft fingers with sensory feedback, 2001IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2001.05, This paper proposes a pair of single or multi D.O.F. robot fingers with soft and deformable tips that can pinch an object stably in a dynamic sense with the aid of real-time sensory feedback. To realize dynamic stable pinching, a practical method of using optical devices is proposed for measuring both the maximum displacement of finger-tip deformation and the relative angle between the object surface and each of finger links. It is shown theoretically and by computer simulation that the overall closed-loop system of a pair of two single-D.O.F. fingers with soft tips with real-time sensory feedback of the difference between centers of two area-contacts at both sides of the object becomes asymptotically stable. This means that the pair achieves dynamic stable grasping (pinching). In the case of a pair of 1 D.O.F. and 2 D.O.F. fingers with soft tips, it is shown that the proposed method of closed-loop feedback of the difference between centers of two area-contacts and the rotational angle of the object can establish not only dynamic stable grasping but also regulation of the posture of the object..
