  • Tele-Snap: A Joint Impedance Estimation System Using Snap Motor and OpenPose for Remote Rehabilitation Diagnosis
    Yuki Endo; Keisuke Yagi; Yoshikazu Mori; Toshinobu Takei; and Hiromi Mochiyama, We propose a remote joint impedance estimation system called Tele-snap for a rehabilitation diagnosis under the COVID-19 pandemic. Dynamic resistance of the human joint is essential physical information reflecting the motor function. The resistance is assessed based on the touching sensation of the doctor (physiotherapist), but the pandemic restricts such an in-person manner. Our proposing system aims to provide this physical information quantified by the joint impedance for a diagnosis in the telerehabilitation context. The proposed system employs a compact impulsive perturbation generator called the snap motor and a marker-less motion capture technology called the OpenPose. The subsystem installed in the patient's place is then simplified remarkably, which consists of the wearable snap motor and Raspberry Pi with a built-in camera module. The proposed system can collect the dataset for impedance estimation through the examiner's teleoperation of the snap motor and camera via a virtual private network, with no need for the operation by the patient. We verify the proposed system through an in-person experiment and then demonstrate the remote impedance estimation scheme., TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD

  • A pair of step-climbing units for a manual wheelchair user: Passing over several steps using a pair of portable slopes
    Yoshikazu Mori; Kaoru Katsumura; Katsuya Nagase, We have developed a pair of step-climbing units that can be installed on a standard manual wheelchair. Many wheelchair users hope to lead an independent life without assistance. The target users of these units are those who can independently lift the front casters of their wheelchairs. The units are installed on the back frames of a wheelchair. Each unit comprises two actuators and has 2 degrees of freedom: telescopic motion and rotational motion. They are lightweight and do not prevent the wheelchair from being folded. Therefore, it is still relatively easy to load a wheelchair fixed with these units into a car. In our earlier project, these units addressed the problem of climbing a single step. In this article, we primarily discuss a strategy that enables wheelchair users to climb stairs comprising multiple steps. We additionally use a pair of portable slopes to achieve this task. Results of experiments where users traveled on a pair of slopes that covered a height of 30 cm over two steps confirm the effectiveness of the design., SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD

  • Energy evaluation of a bio-inspired gait modulation method for quadrupedal locomotion
    Yasuhiro Fukuoka; Kota Fukino; Yasushi Habu; Yoshikazu Mori, We have proposed a bio-inspired gait modulation method, by means of which a simulated quadruped model can successfully perform smooth, autonomous gait transitions from a walk to a trot to a gallop, as observed in animals. The model is equipped with a rhythm generator called a central pattern generator (CPG) for each leg. The lateral neighbouring CPGs are mutually and inhibitorily coupled, and the CPG network is hardwired to produce a trot. Adding only the simple feedback of body tilt to each CPG, which was based on input from the postural reflex, led to the emergence of un-programmed walking and galloping at low and high speeds, respectively. Although this autonomous gait transition was a consequence of postural adaptation, it coincidentally also resulted in the minimization of energy consumption, as observed in real animals. In simulations at a variety of constant speeds the energy cost was lower for walking at low speeds and for galloping at high speeds than it was for trotting. Moreover, each gait transition occurred at the optimal speed, such that the model minimised its energy consumption. Thus, gait transitions in simulations that included the bioinspired gait modulation method were similar to those observed in animals, even from the perspective of energy consumption. This method should therefore be a preferred choice for motion generation and control in biomimetic quadrupedal locomotion., IOP PUBLISHING LTD

  • Feasibility Study of a Pair of 2-DOF Step-climbing Units for a Manual Wheelchair User
    Yoshikazu Mori; Kaoru Katsumura; Katsuya Nagase, We have developed a pair of step-climbing units that can be installed in a standard manual wheelchair. We aim to enable manual wheelchair users to establish an independent life that they can lead without assistance. This mechanism is simpler because it uses the capabilities of the wheelchair user. Each unit comprises two actuators and has two degrees of freedom: telescopic motion and rotational motion. We mainly discuss a step-climbing motion using this system. Experimental results obtained when ascending the step of 15 cm height confirm the design's effectiveness., IEEE

  • Development of information collection system with omnidirectional images
    Naoji Shiroma; Tomohiro Kai; Kousuke Inoue; Yasuhiro Fukuoka; Yoshikazu Mori; Kenji Itou, A robot is an important tool for collecting data such as camera images at a remote site. These camera images are also used for robot operation. In this paper our aim is to develop an information collection system that can collect environmental information efficiently and can reduce the operational load for controlling a robot by realizing reduction of a travelling distance without reducing amount of collected information. An omnidirectional camera unit is used to capture an omnidirectional image around a robot at a time. When we need to access information around the place where the robot has already passed by at least once, the robot does not need to return to the place to get the information but it can be collected from stored omnidirectional images by choosing the point of gaze and gaze direction that indicate the place where an operator wants to look at. The conducted experiments show effectiveness of the developed system., IEEE

They hope to establish an independent life without assistance to the greatest extent possible. We developed a pair of step-climbing units that can be installed in a standard manual wheelchair. This mechanism is simpler than any other because it uses the remaining capabilities of the wheelchair user. Each unit comprises two actuators and has two degrees of freedom: a telescopic motion and a rotational motion. We mainly discuss the step-climbing motion using this system.

  • Development of a Wheelchair with a Lifting Function
    Yoshikazu Mori; Norikatsu Sakai; Kaoru Katsumura, A wheelchair with a lifting function is designed to assist a caregiver when transferring a wheelchair user not only indoors but also outdoors. The target user is typically a severely disabled person with disabled upper and lower limbs and therefore needs the physical support when using a toilet or transferring from a bed to a wheelchair and so forth. Both the wheelchair and the lift are driven by their respective motors. The user can approach above the toilet stool or the bed from the rear because the large driving wheels are located in front of the body, and the seat can be folded. This wheelchair is allowed to travel on public roads because of the mechanism of folding the frame for lifting. This paper presents the concept design and the experimental results of a full-sized prototype wheelchair with the lifting function, which confirms the design effectiveness., HINDAWI PUBLISHING CORPORATION

  • 下肢障碍者の立位移動を可能にするシステムABLE II の開発
    森善一; 前嶋兼, 筆頭著者, A standing-style transfer system that enables a person with lower limb disability to perform activities of daily living without the need of special infrastructure has been developed. This system comprises three modules: a powered lower extremity orthosis, a pair of telescopic crutches, and a pair of mobile platforms. This paper proposes a novel transfer system, ABLE II, that was improved for better operability and stability when traveling. The electric shoulder-type telescopic crutch was replaced with a manual elbow-type crutch, which is lightweight. An ultrasonic motor, instead of the previously used DC motor, was used for steering the mobile platform. The ultrasonic motor enables the reduction of backlash when steering the new platform. A supporting plate and an active ankle joint attached to each mobile platform provide stability when traveling in the standing position. Experimental results have verified the effectiveness of the new system., The Society of Life Support Engineering

  • 人の行動に基づくコンパニオンロボットの行動生成
    森善一; 小倉昭隆; 石田真之, 筆頭著者, In this paper, we discuss the behavior of a companion robot, which lives symbiotically with humans and makes good impressions on them. Its behavior, rather than its appearance, is emphasized. Inter-human behavior is analyzed through a simple simulation environment using two networked PCs. A red ball and a blue ball are displayed on each simulation screen. One person moves the red ball; the other person moves the blue one. Next we design inter-human behavior based on the pattern, transition, trajectory, and velocity. The programmed behavior is verified using a Turing test: the test subject guesses which behavior is generated by a human. Finally, we examine the impressions of the real robot SELF and the AIBO robopet (Sony Corp.). The result shows that SELF's impression, considering human interaction, is superior to AIBO's in terms of the evaluation items of "interesting," "not boring," "attached," "want to be together," "healed," "want to play again," and "favorable.", Japan Society of Kansei Engineering

  • 現存する脊椎動物の神経系を搭載した恐竜ロボットによる2足動歩行の実現
    赤間 淳貴; 福岡 泰宏; 森 善一; 城間 直司; 井上 康介; 中野 博民, In this paper, we try to achieve biomimetic biped walking of a dinosaur-like robot, focusing on its nervous system as well as its mechanism. We have been developing a dinosaur robot "Raptetsu" based on the studies of dinosaurs on archaeology and also apply typical biomimetic locomotion control methods used for existing vertebrates for the robot. In detail, we utilize a CPG (Central Pattern Generator), which is a locomotion rhythm generator that exists in vertebrates' spinal cord, to generate the robot's walking rhythm. Moreover, reflex centers is set below the CPG in the spinal cord and produce joint torque of two legs in the swing and stance phases. Thus, we hope to produce an adaptive dynamic walking generated by interaction between the original mechanism of dinosaurs and existing animals' nervous system and try to contribute to the understanding of dinosaurs' locomotion on archaeology by observing and analyzing the dynamic walking experimental results., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers

  • Development of a Standing Style Transfer System ABLE with Novel Crutches for a Person with Disabled Lower Limbs
    Y. Mori; T. Taniguchi; K. Inoue; Y. Fukuoka; N. Shiroma, 筆頭著者, A standing style transfer system, ABLE, is designed to assist a person with disabled lower limbs to travel in a standing position, to stand up from and sit down in a chair, and to go up and down steps. The ABLE system comprises three modules: a pair of telescopic Lofstrand crutches, a powered lower extremity orthosis, and a pair of mobile platforms. In this paper, the telescopic Lofstrand crutch is mainly discussed. This crutch has no actuator, and its length is switched between two levels; it assists the person when standing up and sitting down in the short length state, while it maintains the body stability in a standing position when traveling in the long length state. The experimental results related to the traveling in the standing position and standing up motion confirm the design's effectiveness., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers

  • ABLE: a standing style transfer system for a person with disabled lower limbs (improvement of stability when traveling)
    Y. Mori; K. Maejima; K. Inoue; N. Shiroma; Y. Fukuoka, Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to describe a standing style transfer system, ABLE, designed to enable a person with disabled lower limbs to do daily-life activities without special infrastructure. Actually, ABLE is mainly intended for use by people who have spinal cord injuries and who cannot move hip joints and lower extremities: the level of spinal cord injury is L1.
    Design/methodology/approach - ABLE comprises three modules: a powered lower extremity orthosis, a pair of telescopic crutches, and a pair of mobile platforms. When traveling in a standing position, the user wears the powered lower extremity orthosis to fix his posture, and rides on the mobile platforms. The user uses crutches to keep his body stable. These telescopic crutches also play an important role of power assistance in standing-up and sitting-down motions, or going up/down a step. The user can enter narrow spaces, although stability is emphasized in wide spaces because it is possible to alter the contact points of the crutches freely.
    Findings - Motions are discussed in a standing position: traveling and rotating, and the chair and step motions. Experimental results related to these motions confirm the design's effectiveness. The authors improve previously developed mobile platforms for better operationality and stability. An ultrasonic motor was used for steering the mobile platform instead of the prior DC motor. The benefits of the ultrasonic motor enable the new platform to reduce its backlash in steering. A supporting plate and an active ankle joint attached to each mobile platform contribute stability when traveling in the standing position. The authors show the experimental results using new mobile platforms.
    Originality/value - The paper demonstrates novelty and originality of ABLE in its composition, which enables a person with disabled lower limbs to travel in a standing position on a pair of small mobile platforms. This system is regarded as a biped-type leg-wheeled robot system that has high energy efficiency and good mobility for steps because of its wheels and legs; moreover, it has a pair of crutches for stability., EMERALD GROUP PUBLISHING LTD

    城間直司; 石川哲史; 井上康介; 福岡泰宏; 森善一, Autonomous control of an articulated steering type vehicle such as a wheel loader, which is usually used at surface mining fields to load mineral resources and rocks, is highly expected for operation cost reduction. A wheel loader is one of heavy machines which is also used for snow removing and/or loading operation at construction fields because of its high mobility. Its steering system is articulated steering and the rear wheels follow tracks where the front wheels have traveled. We have introduced a new virtual velocity constraint of the vehicle and formulated nonlinear state equations using two velocity constraints. A nonlinear state-feedback controller is designed using exact linearization. Simulation and experimental results show that an articulated steering type vehicle can follow a straight line with the proposed feedback control method., Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers

  • RAPID MOVEMENT OF A CRAWLER ROBOT OVER ROUGH TERRAIN HAVING A HUMAN-LIKE UPPER BODY WITH INTUITIVE REMOTE CONTROL
    Y. Fukuoka; K. Hoshi; N. Minakata; Y. Imai; M. Nakamura; K. Inoue; N. Shiroma; Y. Mori, In recent years, some tracked mobile robots have been developed that run over irregular terrain with remote control. They have a number of DOF to improve their mobility and are capable of running over stairs and steps. However, their remote operations are complicated, because they are controlled by operators using a control pad such as used in computer games or toys. In those cases, it is hard to capture an operational sense and easy to make operational mistakes. In order to easily control robots with many DOF, we propose an intuitive remote control system, using the conventional master-slave operation. In this paper, we introduce KUROGANE 0&1 crawler robots, controlled by the intuitive remote operation. KUROGANE 0&1 consist of a typical crawler, plus a human-like upper body. We operate these by means of a wearable remote controller. Thus, the KUROGANE0 has achieved the ability to crawl swiftly over irregular terrain with high stability. We investigated the prototype robot KUROGANE0's performance over outdoor rugged terrain, as well as steps and stairs. Based on the result, we newly designed a 'KUROGANE1 and have done some experiments.

    森善一; 前嶋兼; 永瀬勝也, 筆頭著者, A standing style transfer system, ABLE, is designed to assist a person with disabled lower limbs to travel in a standing position, to sit down in and stand up from a chair, and to go up and down a step. ABLE comprises three modules: a pair of telescopic crutches, a powered lower extremity orthosis, and a pair of mobile platforms. In this system, the telescopic crutches are useful not only to maintain the body stability in a standing position, but to supply power when standing up from a chair, going up a step, and so forth. The powered lower extremity orthosis has an actuator on each hip and knee joint. This module actively fixes, bends, and stretches each joint. The mobile platforms use crawlers to enable the person to travel even on uneven ground. These platforms also enable the user to turn on a rotation board mechanism. In this paper, we mainly discuss the chair and step motions. Experimental results related to these motions confirm the design's effectiveness., The Robotics Society of Japan

  • 人と共棲するコンパニオンロボットSELFの行動生成
    森善一; 上野光朗; 久保田直行, 筆頭著者, In this paper, we propose a robot behavior generation scheme that generates behaviors based on the senses of "curiosity"and "boredom", to create a robot named SELF with which humans do not become bored. The scheme was developed using a simple but unique simulation environment. A red ball and a blue ball are displayed on the computer, and the human subject moves the red ball with an analog joystick. The behavior patterns under natural interhuman interaction are classified by having another human remotely controlling the blue ball from a networked PC. Next, a behavior generator is designed based on these behavior patterns, utilizing conditional probability. The autonomous learning capability of SELF is realized by updating this conditional probability. Our previous studies have revealed that interaction capability and animal-like speed are required for a companion robot. In addition, this paper shows how SELF can have a sense of curiosity and boredom as seen in animals, including humans, by using the developed scheme. Lastly, impressions of the robot behavior generated by the proposed scheme are examined using the simulationenvironment where the blue ball is controlled by the proposed scheme., Japan Society of Kansei Engineering

The scheme was developed using a simple but unique simulation environment. A red ball and a blue ball were displayed on the computer, and the human subject moved the red ball. A behavior generator was designed based on natural interhuman interaction patterns, utilizing conditional probability. The autonomous learning capability of SELF was realized by updating this conditional probability. Our studies reveal that interaction capability and animal-like speed are required for a companion robot. In addition, this paper shows how SELF can have a sense of curiosity and boredom as seen in animals, including humans, by using the developed scheme. The impressions of the robot behavior generated by the proposed scheme were examined using the simulation environment where the blue ball was controlled by the proposed scheme., IEEE

  • Development of a Standing Style Transfer System “ABLE” for Lower Limbs Disabled
    Yoshikazu Mori; Jun Okada; Kazuhiro Takayama, We have developed-a standing style transfer system, or "ABLE," for a person with disabled legs. It allows travel in a standing posture even on uneven ground, a standing up motion from a chair, and allows the stairs. ABLE consists of three modules: a pair of telescopic crutches, a powered lower extremity orthosis, and a pair of mobile platforms. We present here the conceptual design of ABLE and the motion of each module. Cooperative operations using the three modules are discussed through simulations. The standing up motion from a chair and ascending the stairs, however, have problems with adaptability to the environment and safety, because it executes the movement that has till now relied on telescopic crutches. To solve these problems, we propose a new motion technique and compare it with the previous one. In this paper, some experimental results are also presented., IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC

  • Feasibility study on an excavation-type demining robot
    Y Mori; K Takayama; T Adachi; S Omote; T Nakamura, In this study, we propose a design of an excavation-type demining robot that rids a farm of mines efficiently and safely. In the dangerous area, the robot automatically takes in soil in which mines are laid. The entire soil surface, including mines, is crushed, separated and discharged. Therefore, the demining ratio is high; also, the soil becomes clean and cultivated. The robot has a large bucket on its front. The robot moves forward, maintaining the height of the bucket from the ground by the vertical motion of the bucket and the forward motion of the body. The possibility of that motion is confirmed through simulations and experiments. The crush process and the proper depth of the excavation are also discussed., SPRINGER

    森; 太田; 中村, 筆頭著者, In this paper, we quantitatively analyze the KANSEI of human from many other angles for the purpose of generating the motion algorithm for a robothat does not tire a human. A red ball and a blue ball are displayed on a simulation screen. A person moves the red ball with a mouse and a computer moves the blue one. By using this model, first, we examine the relationship between the complexity and the boredom. The varieties of the complexity are motion, size, color, tone and shape. Secondly, we analyze actions produced naturally in interhuman interaction using two PCs connected by a network. Thirdly, we examine the impression that the motion of the robot gives to the human by SD technique., Japan Society of Kansei Engineering

A red ball and a blue ball are displayed on a simulation screen. A person moves the red ball with a mouse and a computer moves the blue one. By using this model, we analyze the relationship between the boredom and the information transfer efficiency. Three reaction patterns of the blue ball are prepared, and the information transfer efficiencies are 1.0, 0.5 and 0.0. Next we discuss a motion algorithm for the robot based on the theory of socion proposed in the field of the sociopsychology. The motion is generated from a logistic map. Finally, considering the application toa real robot, the difference of the impression between the simulation and the actual r obot is proved by an omni-directional robot., Japan Society of Kansei Engineering

  • Mechanism, control and design methodology of the nonholonomic quasi-omnidirectional vehicle "ODV9"
    Y Mori; E Nakano; T Takahashi, The purpose of this paper is to discuss the design of ODV9, a nonholonomic quasi-onmidirectional vehicle to be used as a general platform for mobile robots. Omnidirectional mobility is a desirable property for such a platform because indoor mobile robots are often requested to move in a narrow space. ODV9 has four wheel modules, and each module incorporates one motor one steering brake, and one conventional wheel equipped with a rubber tire. The use of caster wheels means that ODV9 can be operated with just two motors. Compared with other omnidirectional vehicles, the advantages of ODV9 are not limited to the simplicity of its mechanism. Benefiting from being able to use pneumatic tires, ODV9 is capable of moving on somewhat bumpy road surfaces. The disadvantage of ODV9 is inferiority in its maneuverability. The quasi-onmidirectionality means that an arbitrary x, y and yaw motion cannot be achieved. The disadvantage is, however, compensated by proper use of many possible running modes according to the situation. Experimental results and simulations verify the effectiveness of the design. The ability of ODV9 to get over a step and change its width is also discussed., SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD

  • インピーダンス型検出器をもつ加速度計による移動ロボットの位置推定
    森; 中村; 浅野; 後藤, 筆頭著者, In this paper, we present a method of position estimation for a mobile robot using a novel accelerometer. Compared to other methods involving landmarks utilization, odometry and GPS, an accelerometor-based method has the following advantages: (1) it is easy to install and (2) it is possible estimate position on uneven ground and indoors. However, because slight acceleration errors cause enormous distance errors, it is difficult to estimate the position by using an accelerometer. Therefore a servo-type accelerometer that has the highest accuracy among conventional accelerometers is used for the position estimation. But the sensor is expensive and is not good at estimating the position of an object that moves slowly like a robot. One of the reasons for the latter is that the data of the sensor is analog and the sensor needs AD converter. In this study we developed a new accelerometer with the aim of an accurate and inexpensive sensor, and proposed a method for using it in position estimation. The detecting module, an Inductcoder, provides digital data. The mobile module consists of a ball and two springs that causes no drift for the fluctuation of the temperature. The performance of this device was evaluated experimentally., 一般社団法人日本機械学会

  • Mechanism and running modes of new Omni-Directional Vehicle ODV9
    Y Mori; E Nakano; T Takahashi; K Takayama, ODV9 is a newly designed nonholonomic omni-directional vehicle and is proposed as an indoor mobile platform. Such a platform is required to move freely in narrow spaces and to travel on bumpy road surfaces in some measure. ODV9 has four wheel modules, with each wheel module incorporating one motor, one brake and one wheel. The coupling of steering and driving, that results in errors and tire slippage, does not occur in ODV9 intrinsically because each wheel module has only one motor. Compared with other ODVs, the advantages of ODV9 are not limited to the simplicity of its mechanism. Benefiting from using a normal type wheel equipped with a tire, ODV9 is capable of moving in various environments. In this paper the mechanism and the various running modes of ODV9 are discussed, and some experimental results are presented to illustrate its effectiveness., JAPAN SOC MECHANICAL ENGINEERS
