Outline of Final Research Achievements

Control of force source and velocity source to realize desired functions is essential for both non-contact and contact motion for artificial machines including robots. This research succeeded in establishing general methodology for the purpose, and this has been represented as a set of control algorithms which has been successfully installed in a newly developed custom LSI. This hardware enables data origination of human motion skills and as well as can be used as control input of artificial machines so that they can accomplish compliant motion to environment and/or skilled motion like human. A newly designed and constructed machine called HEM2 (haptic end-effector for medicine and manufacturing) with 11 degrees-of-freedom and 22 axes has been examined for investigation. The successful results have been obtained from the experiments and the social implementation and the technology transfer have started in an alliance of university, enterprises, and companies.
