Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, we focused on the transition from non-contact to contact state that is necessary when robots perform tasks. As a result of the research, we established a method to detect objects before contact using sensors and generate motions that mitigate impact forces at the time of contact or avoid contact by utilizing the sensor output. Furthermore, we developed a high-speed non-contact sensor that can cover the entire surface of the robot to implement this method for the whole robot body control.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
近年の人手不足問題に対する解決策の一つとして,ロボットによる自動化が検討されている.しかし,現在のロボット技術では形状が複雑な対象物を繊細かつ素早く正確に扱うことは難しく,人手を必要とする作業が多く残されている.これに対し,本研究の成果は従来のロボットが特に苦手とする接触間際から接触の瞬間までの動作を制御する方法を提供する.今後ますます重要になる接触をより厳密に扱うための基礎となる成果である.
