【講 題】Safe Assistive Robots for Encouraging Human Physical Activities
【時 間】2019/08/23 (五) 11:00 - 12:00
【講 者】Professor Yasuhisa Hirata, Graduate School of Engineering, Department of Robotics, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan
【地 點】臺灣大學工學院綜合大樓 742室
【摘 要】
While the main motivation of research on physical human–robot interaction is to assist humans, the maintaining safe interactions between robots and humans is the most important consideration. In addition, the assistive robots should enhance and encourage the physical activities of the users, and improve their quality of life. We have introduced a concept of passive robotics and have proposed several passive intelligent systems which are not only simple structure and safe but also offers many functions similar to those found in active systems. The passive systems are controlled by the servo brakes, steering wheel, spring, clutch, or continuous variable transmission (CVT) to support the motion of the humans. These passive systems are intrinsically safe because they cannot move unintentionally under a driving force.
We have also proposed a wearable Haptic Feedback Device to convey intuitive motion direction to the user through haptic feedback based on vibrotactile illusions. It would be useful for motor learning and motion guidance in various domains such as sports, rehabilitation, and industry. By using the haptic feedback, the user has to reproduce the motion using his own muscles, and a haptic display provides feedback related with the motion.
