Smart control, mechanism, and recognition of robots

We are investigating smart control, mechanism, and recognition for future robots that perform tasks in unstructured environments. The following are representative research topics. 
(1)  Adaptive optimization of motion and joint stiffness for energy-saving robots 
(2)  Simultaneous gravity and gripping force compensation mechanism for lightweight hand-arm robot 
(3)  Wire driven lightweight robots 
(4)  Standing and walking control of legged robots for high balance ability 
(5)  Online object recognition utilizing contact between robot and object
  • Wire-driven lightweight legged robot with high balance ability control

  • Robot with adjustable elastic elements for energy-saving

  • Object recognition utilizing contact

  • Simultaneous gravity and gripping force compensation mechanism
