As a strategy to address the difficulties encountered when modeling and controlling a
musculoskeletal system, we present a straightforward implementation of an autonomous …

Improving the mobility of robots is an important goal for many real-world applications and
implementing an animal-like spine structure in a quadruped robot is a promising approach …

The bodies of quadrupeds have very complex muscle-tendon structure. In particular, it is
known that in the horse hindlimb, multiple joints in the leg are remarkably interlocked due to …

Surface electromyography (sEMG) and ultrasound-based sonomyography (SMG) are
established muscle activity monitoring techniques. However, both modalities require contact …

Controlling soft robots is a challenging task, for it is embedded in a highly coupled system
composed of elastic body, controller, and environment. The system is often unsteady …

Conventional robots based on models and fast computation have been developed for
closed systems such as factories and laboratories. However, robotics is faced with difficulties …

我々は弱い. 厳しい環境に立ち向かうには気合が要るし, その勢いもたいてい長くは続かない.
ロボットなど機械においても同じで, パワーの出ない 「弱い」 アクチュエータは外力に負けて目標状態 …
