This paper discusses symbiosis between humans and networked communication robots from the viewpoint of communication media. The "network robot system" integrating ubiquitous networking and robot technologies, is introduced in order to improve performance for sensing and human robot interaction and create brand new markets in the robot services. The communication robots in the system have come into greater use by being networked with humans, mobile phones and ubiquitous sensors (cameras, tags, wearable computers, etc.). This paper also introduces several field experiments with the system at elementary schools, at a science museum, at a train station. The results of field experiments indicate the potential of networked communication robots as next-generation communication media.

Within the next years a new generation of humanoid robots able to manage autonomously sophisticated tasks in a complex, time varying domestic and public environment is going to be developed. To cope with these advanced requirements a new multi-sensor based discrete-continuous supervisory control concept is proposed, which is able to accomplish even complex human skills. Each skill is divided into a sequence of elementary actions (so called Primitive Skills). Depending on the multi-sensor perception of the current state of the system, the discrete control has to provide an optimal selection and activation of the appropriate sequence of action and control strategy. An on-line decision making algorithm based on the structure of Primitive Skills (PS) has been implemented. On a lower level the continuous control has to assure that each PS is performed by means of the most appropriate sub-controllers. The theoretical approach and first experimental results of the ongoing research are presented in this paper.

With a physical form similar to that of a human, humanoid robots can be used as proxies or assistants to perform tasks in a real-world environment on behalf of humans. Various humanoid robots have been developed worldwide, and currently, humanoid robots are able to work in our daily life environment. This paper introduces some of the ongoing research and development of humanoid, and discusses the problems, approaches and applications for the nextgeneration humanoid.

This paper reports a vacuum-based wet adhesion system for wall climbing robots. In this adhesion system, a suction cup adheres on a wet surface. The problems addressed are an adherability on a rough surface, which is comes from the seal action of a liquid, and low friction between suction cup and adhered rough and smooth surfaces which is comes form lubricating action of a liquid. Generally, it is difficult that a vacuumed suction cup adheres on rough surface such concrete plate and hardly slidable. In this paper, the adhesion force and friction when a suction cup adheres on smooth glass plate and concrete plate are measured and compared wet condition with dry condition. The experiment result showed that a viscosity is important at the sealing performance of adhesion on rough surface. The silicon oil of a viscosity of 5000cSt allows a suction cup to adhere on concrete surface. In this condition it comes up to the adhesion force when a suction cup adheres on smooth glass with dry condition.

As an example of platforms for realizing the effective human-robot coordination with physical interactions, a dance partner robot has been developed, which could dance together with a human by estimating the next dance step intended by the human. Generating robot's active motion so as to be adapted to its user could be one of essential functions in the nextgeneration robotic technology. This paper proposes the cooperative motion generation method for the robot, which is implemented by adjusting length of dance step stride based on physical interaction between the human and the robot. Experimental results illustrate the validity of the proposed method.

A sensor feedback framework that realizes robust walking of humanoids are discussed in the present paper. We have proposed an online walking control system that generates a dynamically stable motion pattern in short cycles, such as 40 [ms]. The system is capable of reflecting the actual motion status modified by sensor feedback to the pattern generation of the next period so that the long-term stability of the walking is maintained using the dynamic model. We herein propose three categories of adaptation as a framework for realizing robust walking via the short-cycle generation system: 1) absorption of the error of the dynamic model, 2) reactive adaptation to the disturbance, and 3) adjustment of the parameters that are used to generate the walking pattern. Feedback methods for each category are discussed and validated on the full-size humanoid HRP-2.
