    In vehicle teleoperation, reducing instability of driving caused by communication delay is one of important technical problems. This study proposes a passivity-based vehicle teleoperation system that compensates for the delay of visual information presented to the driver. The proposed method applies wave variable transformation to steering angle and yaw rate, and presents modified yaw rate to the driver by altering the viewing direction of camera images. This effectively makes the driver feel that the vehicle responds to his/her steering operation without delay, and consequently over-steering is greatly reduced. The results of experiments using a driving simulator showed that the proposed method greatly improves lateral stability of driving.

    Hydraulically driven construction robots are expected to play important roles in various situations, such as disaster response by teleoperation, taking advantage of their high power-to-weight ratio and robustness against harsh environments. It is well known that operability and task efficiency in teleoperation can be improved by force feedback. In this paper, we investigate if the fidelity of teleoperation of hydraulically driven construction robots can be improved by force feedback, especially impact force feedback, based on the estimated external load from cylinder pressures and link accelerations. For this purpose, we propose a force scaling method to give the operator the information on external loads properly. The results of subject experiments indicate that the operators can discriminate the hardness of the material easily by the impact force feedback.

    In this paper, we focus on vibrotactile stimuli for the purpose of changing and amplifying emotions, and evaluate the changes in emotions caused by vibrotactile stimuli converted from music. To construct a system that simultaneously presents music and vibration, we developed a chair-type vibrotactile display and an automatic conversion method of vibrotactile stimuli based on music. The method generates stimuli suitable for tactile perception by shifting the pitch and dividing the music. In an evaluation experiment, we evaluated the changes in the emotions elicited by the music when vibrotactile stimuli were applied using temporal and posterior evaluation methods. The results showed that not only were the emotions strongly caused by the music, but they were also amplified and changed by the presentation of the vibrotactile stimuli.

    In this paper, we designed and developed a passive device suitable for high-speed precise mating operations by robots. The device was designed in consideration of the characteristics of mating tasks and the inertia of the device itself, and was used in combination with an industrial robot for high-speed precise mating tasks. Our robot succeeded in mating tasks under the condition where the conventional methods such as compliance control or RCC device are difficult to perform the task, confirming the effectiveness of our approach.

    In this paper, we focused on the possibility that there is an optimal control method for each subtask in excavation operations, and we experimentally investigated the optimal control method for each subtask with respect to the constructed control methods. First, three control methods were implemented for comparison: an angle-velocity method using a joystick, a position-velocity method using a tactile interface, and a position-position method using a haptic interface. Next, an experiment was conducted to compare these methods for each task, and to compare and evaluate the optimal method of operation. The results showed that the position-position method was superior for sagittal plane work, while the angle-velocity and position-velocity methods were superior for swinging work.

    This paper developed 6Dof finger-mounted kinesthetic display for rendering force and torque cues simultaneously. The display is a modified model of the basic 6RSS parallel link mechanism by improving with redundant rotational joints. Comparative experiments show that the operating range of the improved model was larger than that of the basic model.

    We have constructed a haptic display system using a vibrotactile array that presents multi-point vibrotactile stimuli around the waist and a computational model that controls vibration amplitude according to 2D position information. Using this system, we have conducted 2 experiments. The first evaluated the difference in percieved sensitivity of vibrotactile stimulation through a vibrotactile calibration experiment. Results suggests sensitivity of vibrotactile stimulation around the waist is symmetric about the longitudinal axis. Sensitivity adjustment gains were calculated and used in the second experiment. The second evaluated the effect of sensitivity adjustment around the waist on the presentation of 2D position information. Results suggests sensitivity adjustment improves 2D position presentation in some cases.

As a result, the system was able to present 3D positional information, and its effectiveness was demonstrated.

    In recent years, autonomous driving has been actively studied, but it is difficult to deal with irregular situations such as accident and construction sites. In such situations, remote driving technology is expected to serve as a backup for autnomous driving systems. Most remote driving relies on camera images as a major source of visual information. Therefore, it is important to investigate which characteristics of visual information (e.g., frame rate and image resolution) affect performance. In this paper, we conducted remote driving experiments of a real-scale automobile under various visual quality settings and investigated the effect on remote driving behavior.

    In this study, we aim to reproduce the friction sensation felt when tracing an object with a fingertip by modeling the skin vibrations that occur when touching the object. We focus on stick-slip vibration as the target of the vibration to be modeled. In order to model the stick-slip vibration according to the normal force and velocity of the fingertip, we constructed a device to simultaneously measure the skin vibration, normal force and tangential force, and conducted measurement experiments. From the measured vibration waveforms, we extracted the feature values that characterize the vibration and analyzed the relationship between the normal force and the tracing speed. A model of the maximum amplitude of the vibration was constructed from the obtained results. The model of the maximum amplitude was found to be highly accurate under several conditions.

    While there are many papers that focuses on transmitting location information such as distance and direction information of a single object using wearable vibrotactile devices, there are none that focuses on transmitting location information of multiple objects. In this paper, we conducted experiments to find out whether humans can understand and recognize information of the number of multiple moving objects (1～4) transmitted via vibrotactile stimulation. To do so, we built a vibrotactile waist belt and constructed an algorithm that changes vibration amplitude depending on the distance and direction of the target objects. As a result, we found that by using our method, participants have the tendency to be able to understand up to 3 moving objects.

    In this paper, we propose a method for mapping a pose graph map using proximity points as feature points by integrating multiple observation data. In this method, remove quasi-static objects which changes location or existence for each observation data, and avoid incorrect removal of static objects, for improve the accuracy of localization. In addition, we confirme that the proposed method can remove quasi-static objects, by mapping the actually observed data. In addition, the accuracy of localization by the map constructed by the proposed method is compared with the accuracy of one without removing quasi-static objects, to show the usefulness of the proposed method.

    In this paper, we propose a bipedal trajectory planning method to realize fast and human-like walking. Based on existing studies on the center-of-mass trajectory of human walking, we design swing leg trajectory to reduce the lateral fluctuation of the center-of-mass trajectory of a humanoid robot. Generated trajectory was evaluated simulation and proved that proposed method can walk faster than previous methods. The simulation results also imply that proposed method is better than previous method at walking stability.

    This paper presents a wearable fingertip tactile display for rendering of forces by skin deformation to index finger with six-Revolute-Spherical-Spherical(6-RSS) parallel link mechanism. It is composed of a static baseplate and a mobile endplate which are connected by six legs. The baseplate is located on the nail side of the finger and the mobile endplate can move in six-degree-of-freedom(6DoF), with contact-no contact capabilities, by the legs actuated by the motors. At first, we decided the operation range of the endplate on finger pad for rendering of orientation, stiffness, and weight. Secondly, we decided the parameters that include the length of arm and rod, the position where index finger are fixed. Finally, we designed a prototype using the parameters.

    Both the cutaneous and kinesthetic informations contribute to the stiffness perception. We aim to investigate the contributions of these tactile informations to the stiffness perception on the basis of Young's modulus, which is a materials property indicating the degree of stiffness. In this paper, we constructed a device that can independently present cutaneous and kinesthetic informations. These informations are presented as reaction force and pressure distribution obtained by the Hertzian contact theory, and this integrated device is constructed by combining the devices that present each. In addition, we conducted a subject experiment for the pushing action on a virtual object, and investigated how the contributions of the two tactile informations change depending on the variation in Young's modulus. In the experiment, the subjects ranked the virtual objects according to their stiffness, and the results were analyzed based on the originally defined Similarity between the presented and answered rank.

    We proposed a method for constraining the master arm's hand orientation to that of the slave arm in the master-slave teleoperation. In this paper, we propose a new commanding method that switches multiple reference coordinate systems arbitrarily using the constrained hand orientation method. When referring to the basic coordinate system, the master arm is in joystick mode for translation command and in master-slave mode for rotation command. On the other hand, when referring to the hand coordinate system, it is in master-slave mode for translation command and in joystick mode for rotation command. We have verified the effectiveness of the method by experiments with actual equipment, and show the results of the experiments.

    In this study, we construct a method to present the movement of an object at a position away from the body in order to provide experiences having higher presence and improve operability. We present a sense of object movement using lightweight and inexpensive vibrators, so we give Phantom Sensation, one of the tactile illusions. In previous studies, it showed a sense of object movement between vibrators, so we propose new algorithm for extending Phantom Sensation. The best algorithm was considered through experiments in which the participants felt a sense of object movement by the presented stimulus after training with each algorithm.

    We have been investigating a new performance evaluation method for remote control robots focusing on the "sense of unity". In the previous report, we examined whether or not it is possible to evaluate how much the operator has the "sense of unity" with the remote robot by using the Crossmodal Congruency Effect (CCE). In this report, we examined the influence of the required forces to operate the master arm on the maneuverability of the remote control system experimentally and compared the obtained results with CCE. Although the experimental result did not show much influence of the required forces on the maneuverability of the remote control system, it suggests that CCE can be an operability index for remote control robots.

    This paper shows the result of demonstration of the force feedback method for the single arm type construction robot. The external load is estimated from cylinder pressures and displayed to the operator through a haptic device. In this experiment, however, it was difficult to estimate impulsive forces when the end effector collides with the environment because the angular acceleration was not measured accurately. In order to improve the accuracy of the load estimation, we propose a new method where the angular acceleration is measured accurately by acceleration sensors. From the experiment, we confirmed that the impulsive forces can be estimated more accurately by the new method.

    A cooperative parking system based on consensus control and mutual exclusion mechanism is developed. The system incorporates the idea of consensus control that has been actively studied in the field of multi-agent control in order to balance the amount of time required for parking. Moreover, the notion of exclusive region is newly introduced to avoid collisions at junctions. The system is evaluated through large-scale simulations and field tests in which multiple personal electric vehicles share position and velocity information via wireless communication network.

    In this paper, a new control method for a planar bipedal robot, which we call here Graph-based Model Predictive Control, is proposed. This method consists of two phases: the graph construction phase and the realtime control phase. In the graph construction phase, a directed graph on the state space of the control target is constructed off line. In the realtime control phase, the controller drives the state of the control target so as to make it move through graph nodes connected by directed edges. By tracing directed edges, a model predictive control is achieved in some sense. Moreover, since the directed graph is constructed in advance, the realtime computational cost is dramatically reduced compared with the ordinary MPC. In addition, by constructing multiple directed graphs based on different cost functions, one can design multiple motions and switching trajectories among them in a uniform way. The proposed method is applied to the speed changing control problem of a bipedal walker on a 2-dimensional plane and its effectiveness is verified by numerical simulation.

    In this paper, we propose maneuverability index focusing on the "sense of unity" as a new performance evaluation method for remote control systems. We used the Crossmodal Congruency Effect (CCE) for the quantitative evaluation of the "sense of unity". We verified the validity as a maneuverability index of "sense of unity" evaluated by CCE. We compared the measured CCEs between the systems which are different in terms of operation force of the master device and camera view orientation of the remote environment. As a result, task performance and "sense of unity" results were consistent. It was suggested that "sense of unity" could be used as an appropriate maneuverability index. Finally, we propose a method to compensate for a bias effect of CCE due to the appearance similarity of target objects to human hand.

    In conventional fall avoidance control, the center-of-mass is kept at a constant height in order to linearize the equation of motion. Such a restriction, however, can only be applied under limited circumstances, and it is not possible to cope with vertical disturbances. In this research, we propose a method for generating a center-of-mass trajectory to avoid falling over uneven terrain based on a nonlinear inverted pendulum model. Moreover, regions of valid foot-steps are derived analytically and incorporated into trajectory generation. The effectiveness of the proposed method is evaluated in numerical simulations of a humanoid robot model.

    This paper shows the results of the force feedback experiment using the double arm type construction robot. The external load is estimated from cylinder pressures and displayed to the operator through a haptic device. We conducted a force feedback experiment based on the estimated external forces. Although the operator could recognize static forces when the robot end-effector contacts the environment continuously, s/he could not feel impulsive forces at the moment of collision with the environment. This was because we didn't consider the acceleration of links at the moment of collision. In this report, we propose a new method to estimate external forces, where the motions of the robot arm are measured more accurately with accelerometers. We then conducted an experiment of force feedback with the proposed method by using the double arm type construction robot. It was shown that the operator could feel the impulsive forces clearly with the proposed method.

    We proposed a new teleoperation control method by using a master control device with small working space. The proposed method sets the slave velocity based on the master velocity. Changing the slave velocity by the master velocity, the operator can control the slave arm freely and intuitively using a small working space master device. In this paper, we propose a new scale conversion method that are expected to be better than the previously proposed. The new scale conversion methods determine the position scale directly based on the master velocity. We tested the new scale conversion method and the result of experiment is shown.

    Humanoid robots should be able to keep balance for any direction of disturbance. N-step capturability framework was proposed for fall avoidance that involves a number of steps. But it did not consider collision between the support leg and the swing leg in its analysis. For this reason, the conventional capturability analysis cannot be applied for a case in which a robot is pushed in sideways. In this paper, we analyze sideways legged locomotion in terms of capturability. Based on this capturability, we propose the sideways legged locomotion for fall avoidance. The proposed method is validated through numerical simulation. The simulated robot was able to recover from predetermined sideways pushes. It was also found that robots can be able to recover from larger disturbance with variable step length.

  • 1P1-J04 Navigation of Autonomous Mobile Robot that is Robust against Topological Change of Environment
    KAMEI Rihiro, TAZAKI Yuichi, SUZUKI Tatsuya
    In this paper we present a robust navigation method under static environment, where there are unknown obstacles, using a topological map based on Generalized Voronoi Diagrams (GVD). By getting observation information by Laser Range Finder (LRF), the mobile robot can be navigated in the topological map. In case that unknown obstacles are recognized, robust navigation is done by considering its topological effect. We assume that topological changes by unknown obstacles are classified in two patterns. One is that there is an unknown obstacle "in a crossroad". The other is "on a passage". Every time the mobile robot encounters an unknown obstacle, the algorithm classifies a local topological change in one of two patterns. Based on the pattern classified, the algorithm plans a local alternate path. An experiment in the indoor environment by the mobile robot shows the good performance of the algorithm for navigation.

This paper presents a fall avoidance control method for biped robots under unknown disturbances that is based on real-time trajectory planning. First, a biped robot is modeled as an inverted pendulum. The robot generates in real time the trajectories of its center of mass and center of pressure, taking into account the dynamics and kinematics of the robot and the direction and magnitude of disturbances. By using the planning result, the robot returns to its stationary state after taking a few steps without falling. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

  • 1P2-P05 Task Scheduling for Carrying Task of Robotic Arm Using Contact Transition Graph(New Control Theory and Motion Control (2))
    ISHII Masato, TAZAKI Yuichi, SUZUKI Tatsuya
    This paper presents a method for scheduling carrying tasks of a robotic arm using a contact transition graph. This method generates a task sequence to achieve the objective work-environmental state focused on the contact state of an environment. Objects in contact state are moved together as an object is carried. A task sequence of a robotic arm is determined by solving a shortest path problem of the state transition system of the contact states of work environment. The motion trajectory of a robotic arm is generated by planning a trajectory based on the task sequence.

    GOTO Kouta, TAZAKI Yuichi, SUZUKI Tatsuya
    This paper proposes a walking control method for small-sized biped robot by using trajectory planning. First, for analyzing a walking motion of biped robot, we regard it as the three-dimensional inverted pendulum. Then, we plan the trajectory of the center of mass and many foot places during walking in consideration of kinematics and kinetics in relation to the analyzing result. By using the trajectory result, a walking control system for small-sized biped robot is configured. And to confirm the effectiveness of the control system, experimental results of walking control of the 12 d.o.f biped robot are shown.

    TAKASHIMA Koichi, TAZAKI Yuichi, SUZUKI Tatsuya
    This research proposes a method of reaching destinations for multi mobile robots by giving a formation under position uncertainty. These robots can measure 4 distances between a robot and a landmark and between robots by using 1 transmitter and 2 receiver which are located on themselves. Positions of robots, which can move and measure distances, are estimated by using extended kalman filter. And a sequence evaluation of robots formation use a variance-covariance matrix for considering position uncertainty and collision avoidance. A evaluation consider not these two points but distances between robots and their own destinations.

    YAMADA Takayuki, XIANG Jingyu, TAZAKI Yuichi, SUZUKI Tatsuya
    This paper proposes a motion planning method that constructs collision-free and optimized trajectories for multi-robot. The proposed method performs two planning. First, each robot performs path planning using Variable-resolution Velocity Roadmap(VVR). VVR includes position information and velocity information. Using VVR, each robot can find a path that navigates the robot to the destination in shortest time while avoiding static obstacles. Second, the scheduler adjusts the departing times and the velocities at the via-points of all robots to avoid collisions between the robots and to minimize the sum of arrival times of the robots. The proposed method is evaluated through simulations.

  • 2P1-L02 Generating Dance Motions for Robot Arm based on Multi-Objective Trajectory Planning(New Control Theory and Motion Control)
    ISHII Masato, TAZAKI Yuichi, SUZUKI Tatsuya
    This paper presents a method for generating dance motion for a robot arm focusing on prioritized key poses. Key poses are stop poses that represent primary features of dance motion. In some cases, for example at a fast tempo, achieving all key poses becomes difficult due to physical limitation of the robot. In such cases, the robot must take important key poses selectively. Dance motion is generated with multi-objective trajectory planning method and planned on-line in the model predictive control framework. Finally, proposed method have realized dance motion on a robot arm PA10.

    This research proposes an automated parking system for a car-like robot which uses a roadmap where every node has not only position but also orientation information of the robot. In the proposed roadmap, the orientation of the robot is not expressed as a fixed value but as range of values. The roadmap is constructed by dividing the orientation space in variable resolutions considering the non-holonomic constraints of the robot and collision-avoidance constraints between the robot and surrounding obstacles. The proposed method evaluated both in numerical simulations and in an experiment using a real electric vehicle.

    This research develops a new graph-map method for autonomous mobile robots based on variable-resolution dividing space. Unlike conventional roadmaps, which include position information only, the proposed graph-map also includes direction information. In this manner, the robot is able to plan a path in detail. Direction information of each node is not a fixed value but a range, which is constructed by dividing direction space based on variable-resolution according to a surrounding situation of links connected to the node. Finally, the proposed method is evaluated through simulations.

  • 2A2-D02 Periodic Motion Control of a Bipedal Robot Using an Event-Driven Model(Walking Robot)
    URAHAMA Hidehiro, TAZAKI Yuichi, SUZUKI Tatsuya
    This paper proposes a modeling method for periodic motion of bipedal robots using an event-driven model. Conventional models that are widely employed in the trajectory planning of bipedal locomotion have one shortcoming: namely, the transition of robot's dynamics which is seen in locomotion is not considered. This makes the design of a trajectory tracking controller, which is responsible of absorbing the difference between the model and the actual robot's dynamics, quite complicated. Motivated by this background, a new model which reduces complexity of periodic motion control system is proposed. To capture both the discrete and continuous features of bipedal periodic motion, the model takes the form of event-driven model. Supervisory control of the model is adapted to the control system, and then it is utilized for stepping motion control and demonstorates the value of the model.

    This paper presents verifications of proposed personalized assisting control using an actual car. A single-seated small electric vehicle is used to log driver's behavior in vehicle following tasks. Driver model is expressed as a PieceWise AutoRegressive eXogeneous(PWARX) model widely recognized as hybrid dynamical system. First, the braking assistance system with the model is designed and examined on a driving simulator. The optimum assisting control is based on model predictive control and given by solving Mixed Integer Programming(MIP) on-line. After implementation of the assistance system on the electric vehicle, it is aimed to verify the effect by comparing actual car's and simulated results.

  • 2A1-O05 Visibility-Guided Autonomous Graph-map Construction of Mobile Robots(Localization and Mapping)
    XIANG Jingyu, TAZAKI Yuichi, INAGAKI Shinkichi, SUZUKI Tatsuya
    The complete coverage of the entire unknown environment by autonomous mobile robot is needed in map building, navigation and exploration. This paper addresses on autonomous graph-map construction of mobile robot in unknown environment based on visibility of surrounding region. Because of obstacles in the workspace and the limit of the sensor performance, the region observing by sensor once is limited. Then robot should make view points to observe the unobserved region. In this paper, we show that the mobile robot can construct graph-map, using omni-directional distance sensor, of the entire unknown environment by repeating the movement and the observation toward the blind spot in the observed area.

  • 2A1-E08 Estimation of Operator's Intention based on Multi-Mode Particle Filterwith Gaussian Mixture Model
    Shimakura Satoshi, Tazaki Yuuichi, INAGAKI Shinkichi, SUZUKI Tatsuya
    This paper presents a new model to predict an operator's intention in man-machine system based on the multi-mode particle filter wherein a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) is embedded as the observation model. In the proposed model, each prediction model in the particle filter corresponds to each primitive motion generated by the operator. The operator's intention can be predicted by calculating the likelihood of each model in real-time. In addition, the advantage of using GMM is to be able to represent a nonlinear and/or nonstationary relationship between the state of the particle filter and the observation signal measured from the sensor. This advantage is more emphasized when the model is applied to the prediction of human complex behavior and when the observation order is less than that of dynamical state. The usefulness of the proposed model is demonstrated by applying to a manipulating behavior for the carrier machine.

  • 1A2-E27 Efficient Exploration for Localization of Omnidirectional Mobile Robots using Particle Filter
    YAMASHITA Ryo, XIANG Jingyu, TAZAKI Yuichi, INAGAKI Shinkichi, SUZUKI Tatsuya
    This paper presents an efficient exploration strategy for the self-localization of omnidirectional mobile robots based on particle filtering. It is a challenging task to identify the robot's global position in a workspace based only on local sensory information, especially if there exist multiple locations where similar measurement signals are obtained. A popular existing technique called Active Localization, which chooses the next action so as to minimize the entropy of the expected posterior distribution of the robot's position, cannot be directly applied to particle-based localization, since entropy cannot be evaluated easily when a probability distribution is expressed by particles. Instead, in the proposed method, the robot moves to a position where the variance of" the expected measurement signal is maximized. The variance of a particle distribution is easy to compute and therefore the proposed method is well suited to particle-based localization. The proposed technique is tested in an in-door environment.

    過酷な作業現場で長時間の器用な力仕事を行うマニピュレータの性能を高めるにあたり、駆動源を手先から離して置ける液圧駆動（水圧や油圧駆動）が有望である。本研究は、大小容量の各種ポンプとバルブをマトリクスで有機的に複合した液圧回路によって、手先の性能を最適化することを目的としている。具体的に、手先が発揮できる力と速度の大きさ、分解能、動特性にフォーカスした液圧複合回路の構成法を明らかにし、その能力を最大限に活かす制御アルゴリズムならびにアクチュエータ配置方法を理論的に導くことがゴールである。
    初年度は代表者らが過去の科研費プロジェクトで提案した増圧型の液圧複合回路（H2SB）をベースに、多軸化を念頭に置いたシステム要素の選定と回路構成をシミュレーションを用いて検討した。サーボ弁をシリンダーに直結することで、最終段での高応答な方向切替と絞り機能を確保したうえで、サーボ弁内で無駄な絞り捨てが生じないよう、マトリクスの出力流量と圧力を制御する回路形態を検討した。マトリクスの「節」に配置するバルブについては、単純なOn/Off弁とした。
    検討を重ねた結果、On/Off弁と共通流路を備えた新しい「モジュラー油圧回路」を発明し、2軸シリアルマニピュレータをターゲットにした制御アルゴリズムを導出することができた。実際に油圧回路を構成し、保有するロボットマニピュレータに適用した結果、手先位置軌道追従制御実験において有効性を証明することができた。出版実績は特許出願1件、国際会議論文2件、国内学会発表2件である。

    計画初年度である本年度は，研究課題である多点接触運動の即応的生成手法の確立を目指し，接触を伴う運動の計画手法に関する理論的検討を進めた．第一に，二足歩行ロボットの転倒回避制御に関し，事前に計算・記憶した転倒回避運動データベースを利用した実時間制御手法を開発し，シミュレーションにて評価を行った．これについては本計画以前からの継続研究であったこともあり，国際会議での発表につなげることができた．本手法は高性能の計算機を用いてデータベースを事前構築しておけば，様々なロボットプラットフォーム（シミュレーション・実機問わず）に容易に移植が可能であることから幅広い活用が期待できる． 第二に，多点接触を伴う運動計画に関して，動的計画法にもとづく従来の最適制御手法を基礎とし，接触の時系列が局所的に変化した際の最適コストの変化を効率的に計算する方法に基づく新たな計画手法を開発した．本手法は従来の計画手法と比較して計算速度に優れており，計画に要する時間を秒のオーダからミリ秒のオーダへ大きく低減できる．本結果については国内会議で発表した他，改良版を国際会議に投稿準備を進めている． 第三に，手法の実機検証へ向けたパラレルリンク式二足歩行ロボットの開発を進めた．ハードウェアレベルのくみ上げは7割方完了し，電装系や制御ソフトウェアの開発を進めている．次年度以降には主に転倒回避制御の検証用プラットフォームとして活用する予定である．他方，当初計画していたほど研究分担者との緊密な連携をとって進めることができなかった． この点は次年度以降へ向けた反省点である．

    The objective of this research is to develop a motion planning method for robots with many degrees of freedom in order to improve the autonomy of intelligent robots, and to reduce human operation cost and magnify the range of application. A robot and a workspace is expressed as a multi-body model, and trajectory planning of a multi-body model under several tasks with different priority levels is considered. Some basic principles of such a problem are studied and an efficient solution algorithm is proposed. Concrete topics studied during the grant period includes: treatment of non-convex constraints such as collision avoidance, scheduling of serial and parallel tasks, control of real robot based on real-time motion planning, and the development of software library for the proposed motion planning method.

    This research has developed a new framework of the assisting system design based on a hybrid system description of the behavior model. In particular, a piecewise ARX model was used to represent the human behavior. Then, the design problem of the assistance control is formulated as an online optimization problem. By using the developed framework, the decision making mechanism is shared between human and machine. The usefulness is demonstrated by applying driving behavior.

  • Development of Motion Planning Method for Multi-DOF Robots Based on Distributed Architecture and Discrete Modeling

    Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Grant-in-Aid for Research Activity Start-up, Nagoya University, 2009 - 2010
    This research aims at the development of control methods for autonomous robots with large degrees of freedom, founded on distributed architecture and discrete modeling of dynamical systems. Motion planning based on the discretization of configuration space is able to cope with complex environments but it is applicable only to relatively small dimensions. Hierarchical architecture, which is widely accepted in the control of large-scale systems, is not able to fully exploit the multi-DOF characteristic of the robot. The goal of research is to develop a new control framework which combines the advantages of both discrete modeling and distributed control.

    動的システムの離散近似とは,微分方程式等で記述されるシステムを有限オートマトン形式で近似表減する手法である.離散近似は非線形性や非凸性を有する制御対象に対して大域的な制御を実現する上で非常に有効な手段である. 本年度は,昨年度の研究成果(離散近似の最適制御・相互結合系への適用)を3件の国際会議にて発表した。また、昨年度に考案した非一様な離散化を可能とする反復細分化アルゴリズムをより一般的なものへの拡張した.この結果は国際会議へ投稿、採択された. また,本年度はHonda Research Institute Europe(ドイツ)に1年間滞在し,研究交流を行った.同研究所における研究において,ヒューマノイドロボットなどの大規模系の制御では離散近似だけでは不足であるという考えに到り,新たに分散制御に基づく多自由度ロボットの多目的制御手法を考案した.本手法は,1つの多自由度ロボットを小さなパーツの集合と見なし,各パーツの制御を担当する小さなエージェントを割り当てる.エージェントが適切に協調することにより,全体に1つのロボットとして整合性のとれた動作が生成される.提案手法は現在までに単純な手先位置制御や反力生成に適用され、動力学シミュレーションおよび同研究所が保有するヒューマノイドロボットASIMOを用いて検証された.本結果は国際会議へ投稿済である.今後は離散近似の手法と組み合わせることでより複雑な制御問題へ適用されることが期待される.
