Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we worked on development of a safe and friendly physical care service robot system.
First, in order to provide a safe and comfortable massage service, we fabricated a robot hand with adjustable joint stiffness.
Next, in order to apply this hand to a massage services that can be easily handled using everyday expressions such as "press a little more" and "press more", we analized adjustment levels for each expression through several experiments. From this analysis, we could construct a model that calculates the control target of the robot hand for various degree expressions. By combining the two results, a human-friendly massage system can be realized.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究で開発したロボットハンドは、硬さを変えることが可能であり、安全性と快適性を必要とする介護等のサービスに対して有効に利用できると考える。また、そのハンドを制御するために、ヒューマンフレンドリーな日常用語の使用を目的としており、”少し強く押して”などの指示に対する適切な接触作業の解析を詳細に行った。この解析結果から、単なる力の制御ではなく圧力分布を考慮した”押し作業”の必要性を見出すことができた。
