Recently, the rehabilitation device using a soft pneumatic actuator for the disabled are actively researched and developed because of the insufficient number of physical therapists. In the previous study, the wrist rehabilitation device using flexible robot arm that consisted of three flexible pneumatic cylinders was proposed and tested. The portable rehabilitation device using a flexible spherical...
Reducing the electrical contact resistance (ECR) and the coefficient of friction (CoF) are major technological requirements for sliding contacts. This report provides electrical-tribological characteristics of a Copper containing Diamond-like Carbon (Cu-DLC) nanocomposite coating deposited on a brass plate, investigated by using a ball/plate reciprocating tribometer. The counterpart was a brass ball...
In this paper, a depression patient robot by using the android robot SAYA is proposed as a practical application of android robot technologies. The purpose of the patient robot is to offer reproducible and realistic education and training to psychiatrist trainees. In particular, the patient robot treats unipolar depression, which is a typical psychiatric disease. The robot exhibits symptoms of unipolar...
Communication robots are hard to interact with humans autonomously in everyday environment due to lack of intelligence even though robots can perform certainly only in limited environments and limited situations. However, since intelligence of robots is handled by an operator, tele-operated robots are useful to investigate functions required for robots and effects of robots in real-environment. This...
