Hand-eye relation in visual servoing involves eye-in-hand and eye-to-hand configuration. Both have its own merit and drawback regarding to its precision and sight range. This paper addresses this problem and introduces the camera utilization as eye-to-hand configuration for the second robot, while it retains as eye-in-hand for the first robot. Hence, the camera becomes mobile and provides more precision and more global sight of scene. Moreover, this paper also addresses the real-time constraints within real-time vision system and real-time data exchange due to different processing units for robot and vision system. Here, a pattern design and simplified image processing are considered. This paper considers a 3D visual servoing within dynamic look and move scheme based on object pose. The system performance is validated by the experimental result.

In this paper, the method of determinating the leg length and the leg angle at touchdown is proposed. With this method, the robot can track the soft-landing trajectory, considering the torque limits of the joints. Suppressing impact force in the landing phase remains as a big issue to be resolved for hopping robots. This paper applies the soft-landing trajectory which was proposed before in order to minimize impact force of landing. Regarding hopping as an extended function of walking robots, they would have rotary joints instead of prismatic joints. Considering torque limits of joints, the relationship between the tip position from the COG (center of gravity) and the COG velocity at touchdown is determined so as to track the soft-landing trajectory. In addition, the vertical velocity of the COG is estimated from the duration of the aerial phase. Consequently, even if a floor level varies, the hopping robot can select a proper landing position of the tip without getting over the torque limit at landing. Numerical results verify the proposed method.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the contact stability. The controller with observer based system is transformed into its dynamic physical model. Two approaches are discussed in this paper. The first one considered ideal disturbance observer and ideal reaction force observer. The second one dealt with the real world disturbance observer and real world reaction force observer. The gap between the ideal and real world is analyzed. The validity of the proposed approaches of the contact stability is confirmed in the experiments.

This study, using computer graphics, explores a movement reconstruction method of human somersaults. While human subjects perform on a trampoline, the researcher converts the action into information with a human model that has sixteen links and twelve joints under thirty-one-degrees-of-freedom. Performance is photographed with an infrared camera, and the captured images are turned into silhouette pictures through binary image processing. The silhouettes determine each joint angle, while modifying a model generated earlier. The continuous changes of joint angles during a flip are also calculated. All the data are finalized with animation.

This paper addresses a motion control of biped robot for realization of robust various gait. It is known well that motion control can separate kinematics and dynamics of manipulation system and the system behaves as given nominal model. Hence, this paper tries to apply the technique of motion control to a legged system. However, because the legged system has no fixed point unlike in the case of manipulation system, motion of system is restricted by contact force between the system and an environment. Therefore, it is necessary to control the torque around ZMP for a stable walking. In contrast, a distance between both legs should be controlled. Consequently, a dynamic hybrid control is introduced for decoupling COG and relative leg motion. A coordinate system of dynamic hybrid control is set by according to walking motion. Hence, a dynamic hybrid control based on acceleration decoupling is proposed. Then adaptive motion for a rough terrain is realized. The effectiveness of proposed method is confirmed by experimental results.

There are many works about bilateral teleoperation. However, good touch sense of remote object has not been realized in actual system yet. In this paper, the goals of bilateral teleoperation are considered as following two points. One is a reproduction of environmental impedance in master side. The other is a realization of small operational force. Operational force means the force the operator feels in addition to real environmental force. Corresponding to these goals, novel evaluation indices are defined which are named "reproducibility" and "operationality", respectively. Moreover, control stability must be satisfied. After all, bilateral teleoperation must satisfy three conditions such as reproducibility, operationality and stability. Using defined evaluation indices, bilateral controller is designed. Through analysis, it is confirmed that the three desired conditions in bilateral teleoperation are well satisfied with this controller. The effectiveness of this research is demonstrated by an experiment with bilateral forceps robot.

Ordinary bilateral system mainly discussed on the control of fixed manipulator with same structures, or macro-micro teleoperation system with small slave working area compared to the master manipulator. However, larger working area for the slave robot is preferable in order to adjust to the various tasks and conditions of the environment. Also expansion of the slave working area must be accomplished without interrupting the manipulability and not deteriorating the user friendliness. Here, we propose a bilateral system using mobile manipulator. A mobile manipulator is a manipulator mounted on a mobile platform. Thus it provides much larger workspace compared to the fixed manipulators. However this advantage makes it difficult to apply a common bilateral form with two port model because of the differences in range of movement. As a solution, only the force transmission is done to both master and slave. And by estimating the environmental information using least square method, environment information is expressed to the master manipulator. Aim of this proposal is to improve the operationality of the master system. Validity of the proposal is confirmed by simulation result.

In this paper, soft-landing of hopping robot is considered. In the landing phase, the robot is affected by reaction force from the ground. In order to achieve a desired COG (center of gravity) position at bottom, the soft-landing trajectory is introduced. This trajectory was planned to minimize impulse and maximum force from the ground. However the trajectory is not sufficient to apply to actual robots because the robots cannot adapt unknown (or inconstant) external force. Therefore, in this research, we propose novel variable compliance control with soft-landing trajectory. Compliance parameters are modified based to the soft-landing trajectory so that transition from force control to position control can be accomplished smoothly. While force control should be applied to absorb the impact from the ground position control should be applied at bottom since the robot should track the desired trajectory for the next hop. With this method, transition from force control at touchdown to position control at bottom can be achieved appropriately. The robot can land with suppressing the impact force with accomplishing the desired COG position at bottom.
