In this paper, a passive type dance partner robot referred to as PDR (passive dance robot) is presented to realize ballroom dances in cooperation with a human. PDR is developed based on the concept of passive robotics. Compared to the active type robot actuated by servo motors, the passive type robot can guarantee higher level of safety, since this kind of robot moves passively based on the force...
We have proposed a real-time self-collision avoidance motion generation method for the mobile manipulator which is used for human-robot cooperation using ";RoBE (Representation of Body by Elastic elements)";. Furthermore, we have proposed the cooperating motion generation method which considers range of joint movement of the robot to deal with environmental/task constraints in human-robot...
As an example of platforms for realizing the effective human-robot coordination with physical interactions, a dance partner robot has been developed, which could dance together with a human by estimating the next dance step intended by the human. Generating robot's active motion so as to be adapted to its user could be one of essential functions in the next generation robotic technology. This paper...
This paper discusses advanced human-robot coordination systems. In order to realize the coordination, robots have to behave as not only followers but also leaders when they execute tasks with humans. As an example of the advanced human-robot coordination systems, a male-type dance partner robot is developed, which behaves as a male dancer and executes ballroom dances with a human. In ballroom dances,...
In this paper, we propose a new motion control algorithm of multiple mobile manipulators for handling a single object in cooperation with a human. In general, for handling the object, robots grasp it rigidity and a human operator applies an intentional force/moment to it. However, when the robot is operated by a human who does not have enough knowledge about robots, he/she may apply his/her intentional...
A dance partner robot has been developed as an example of platforms for realizing the effective human-robot coordination with physical interactions. This robot could dance together with a human by estimating the next step intended by the human. If the robot would mistake the step estimation, the human-robot coordination could not be continued. In this paper, an error recovery method for step selections,...
In this paper, we propose a dance partner robot referred to as MS DanceR (mobile smart dance robot) which has been developed as platform for realizing the effective human-robot coordination with physical interaction. MS DanceR consists of an omni-directional mobile base and body force sensor, which is a force/torque sensor installed between the mobile base and the body of the robot. A human could...
This article introduces several types of robots having physical interactions among a human/humans and a robot/robots, which we have developed so far. MR Helper (mobile robot helper) is a mobile robot with dual manipulators, which could manipulate an object in cooperation with a human. DR Helpers (distributed robot helpers) are multiple small mobile robots which transport an object in cooperation with...
