Research Abstract |
In this study, an infant robot that has a pneumatic artificial musculoskeletal system and a visual and haptic sensor system has been built as a platform to investigate an incremental development of a human infant from constructive approach. Haptic sensor is realized by implanting strain gauges into a flexible artificial skin, and evaluated in static and dynamic ways. It is also investigated how subjective visual information affects the developmental process of the robot's crawling behavior. Moreover, a bio-inspired quadruped robot was developed as an expansion of the infant study.
