Zero-compliance mechanism is applied to micro-force measurement. The system makes it possible to estimate the force from the displacement of a detection point without displacing the point of force. The efficacy was proved by an experimental apparatus uses a parallel springs and a voice coil motor as an actuator. However, the accuracy of measurement was limited because of independent four single-axis measurement units. To solve such a problem, a structurally-integrated measurement unit to is developed. In this work, an apparatus for 3-component force measurement is designed and fabricated.

The characteristics of the AC magnetic suspension system using magnetic resonant coupling are studied experimentally. The treated suspension system has self-stabilization characteristics so that noncontact suspension can be achieved without any active control. An experimental apparatus has been fabricated which has three pairs of primary and secondary electromagnets for three-axis suspension; the three primary electromagnets are fixed to the stator, and the three secondary electromagnets are fixed to the floator. Stable noncontact suspension has been achieved by supporting the stator through springs and dampers from the base. The characteristics of the achieved suspension system are studied experimentally.

In this paper, we tried to fabricate a soft film actuator that have a large size and lightweight. The length, width and weight of the actuator are 6.41m, 0.51m, and 564g, respectively. The actuator has an air chamber with pleated sheet structure. The actuator could not expand enough to drive when air pressure was applied to it. An upper and lower film was drawn by air flow and a flow channel on the actuator was closed. This problem caused by increasing in size of film structure. Previous soft film actuator was small-size and elastic force of films were larger than a force generated by an air flow. To develop a large soft film actuator, we need a new inlet for film structure.

Liquid nitrogen temperature is an important environment in biological and medical scientific areas. An actuator which has a high safety in a low-temperature environment is required. In this study, we fabricated and evaluated a soft film actuator for a liquid nitrogen temperature environment. The actuator was made by using polyimide films. The fabricated actuator generates a bending motion by applying positive pressure. A bending angle and generated torque of the actuator were formulated. Additionally, these characteristics were evaluated at room temperature and liquid nitrogen temperature. A bending deformation of the actuator was generated when a deferential pressure was about 3 kPa. Compared with a driving performance at room temperature, the performance at liquid nitrogen temperature was decreased. We have succeeded in driving the actuator at 78K.

Motion control algorithms were proposed for a 9-DOF finger-arm robot by using the finger manipulability obtained in a previous study. However, in the previous study, only methods for achieving unconstrained movement of the finger-arm robot were discussed. In this paper, the authors propose a novel method for having a finger-arm robot complete a constrained task by integrating impedance control with manipulability control of the finger. First, methods of applying the previous heuristic method to the passive impedance control and the active impedance control were developed; and experiments were performed to demonstrate the features. Then, an impedance control combined with the steepest ascent method to modulate the manipulability of the finger was proposed. The proposed method demonstrates a strong performance even when a dynamic external force is applied to the finger. By using the proposed method, the arm actively moves along a direction to effectively maintain the moving potential of the finger during both the unconstrained and the constrained tasks.

It is generally thought that human beings have high-performance system in body movement. However, the mechanisms of body movement have not been clarified completely. It is believed that human beings unconsciously estimate the spatial depth from the two-dimensional figure projected on the retina to understand the three-dimensional space. This paper focuses on relations between human motion and vision in order to reveal mechanisms between human motion and cognition. In this study, we attempt to examine the effect of Miiller-Lyer illusion, which is a typical optical illusion, on human cognition and motion by using motion capture system. Based on the examination, this paper discusses an interaction between human motion and human cognition.

[Reviewed]Human beings usually locate their hand at the position with a higher moving potential in order to easily deal with various situations. Inspired by the human hand-arm movement, this study proposes a motion control issue for a serial-linkage finger-arm robot according to Wf By using the proposed SAM, the finger robot primarily moves, whereas the arm moves to augment the working space of the finger when the finger manipulability reduces below a given reference. The performance of the proposed SAM with regard to regulating the finger's manipulability is more efficient than that of the previous HA in both the free motion and the stiffness control.

This paper demonstrates human weight perception for sudden weight changes during a lifting process. It is well known that human motion has an unimodal velocity profile including the acceleration and deceleration zones in a reaching task, which has a start and the goal points. This study attempts to reveal the difference of human weight perceptions between two zones by giving some magnitudes of weight changes with a force display device; especially, we investigate the difference threshold (DL: Differenz Limen) in the weight perception. The results show that human weigh perception tends to become more sensitive in the deceleration zone. Further, this paper shows the effectiveness of virtual reality technologies for physical experiments.

The advancement of multimedia services including audio/visual media has been rapid. The applications of cellular phones, in particular, have increased by using these technologies. In addition, if force telecommunication were realized, force information would become a next leading factor in the multimedia service. In this field, a robotic master/slave system is a leading candidate. This system has been studied as a teleoperation system between an operator and an environment; the operator controls only the master device whereas the slave device is never controlled. For multimedia applications, such systems require flexibility and bidirectionatity because force telecommunication must consider the interactions between users.
This paper details the fundamental issues of force communication from a viewpoint of human perception. With regard to the control system, this study uses an integrated hybrid control master/slave system that helps to find a key factor of equal bilateral force telecommunication in the sensory aspect. The employed system has a function to change the proportion of force display to position display by varying a weight parameter. We discuss the basic control performance of a force telecommunication system and evaluate qualitative feelings of users by using a psychological evaluation method.

The main advantage of Reinforcement Learning is that it provides unexpected solutions for a designer. This study shows how a mobile robot can obtain unexpected motion forms by using Reinforcement Learning. Results show the the mobile robot with two-dimensional mobile ability can obtain unexpected motion forms for both advance motion and rotation motion. The mechanisms for these motions were investigated in order to understand how to obtain these motions. Moreover, since this system has a two-dimensional factor, this study examines the learning characteristic for the oblivion of the learning knowledge. In addition, this study examines the learning of the knowledge manipulation method to obtain new learning results with respect to the two-dimensional factor.

Until now, several studies on the action of the robot with Reinforcement Learning method have already been reported. However, most of these studies are concerned with only 1-dimensional action. This paper shows how the robot with Q-Learning, which is one of Reinforcement Learning methods, acquires 2-dimensional motions. In addition, this paper attempts to analyse how the articulated robot obtain the advance actions. These results also imply that the robot can obtain unexpected motion without a teacher, which is most important advantage of the Reinforcement Learning. Finally, this paper shows the interaction effect of reward between in direction of x and in direction of y.

In our previous studies, we tried to acquire the motion of a caterpillar robot and a starfish robot by use of reinforcement learning. The results demonstrated that the robots started very attractive and unexpected motions. However, these robots could use only the few motion patterns because of lack of degree of freedom. Then, this study designed a new gecko-shaped robot with 12 DOF in order to acquire the complex motions with the learning algorithm. The robot performed very smooth walking by heuristic method Therefore, the designed robot has the potential to acquire the unexpected and reasonable walking motion by the learning algorithm.

This study approached the master/salve system from a viewpoint of force telecommunication between human beings. In the process of the approach, we noticed some technical issues in the force communication. In this study, we focused on the parallel control master/slave system that is considered as a leading candidate of bilateral force communication. We propose the unique parallel control master/slave system with both position and force servomechanisms based on conventional master/slave system. By using proposed control method, we considered the basic control problems for the force telecommunication system and examined the effect to human perception by servomechanisms.

In general, human beings unconsciously estimate the spatial depth from the two-dimensional figure projected on the retina to understand the three-dimensional space. It is thought that such estimation based on the previous experiences produces various visual illusions like Muller-Lyer visual illusion, Ponzo visual illusion, etc. This paper attempts to examine an effect of a spatial depth clue on the weight perception by using a virtual reality technology. Then, this study focused on the size-weight illusion in which human beings surely perceive the object with large volume being light when comparing the weights of two objects with same weight and different volume. The results imply the possibility to reveal an attractive brain function of human beings.

Therefore we reexamined the Size-Weight Illusion not only with vision, but also without vision on Real environment. These results imply that there exists the relationship between the illusion and people's awareness of an object's size.

A vibration isolation device with an active dynamic vibration absorber is developed to remove vibration induced by a cryopump. Cryopump is used to make high-vacuum and low-temperature environments for precise measurement. However, it induces vibrations with multiple frequencies, which may deteriorate measurement accuracy. This study focuses on removing low-frequency vibration because conventional vibration isolation devices for cryopump can hardly remove such vibration. In the developed vibration isolation device, an active vibration absorber is used to remove the vibration efficiently at low frequencies. In this report, the design concept and structure of the fabricated apparatus are described.

Our previous study discovered that small particles scattered at the bottom of a water-filled rectangular container align at specific positions when the particles are subject to standing wave induced by laterally oscillating the container at specific frequencies. Also, we identified a method to theoretically estimate the oscillation frequency for aligning the small particles and the positions where several particle lines appear. As the next step, we are currently developing novel micromanipulation methods with this unique phenomenon targeting submillimeter-scale particles. In the present study, this alignment phenomenon is further studied to reveal the potential, especially focusing on the distribution of lateral fluid velocity in vertical direction, the amplitude of lateral oscillation, and the liquid height which have never been discussed in our previous study. This paper examines their relationships with the alignment condition and discusses the applicability of these findings obtained in the present study to develop novel micromanipulation methods of small particles.

A basic single-degree-of-freedom magnetic suspension system consists of one floator, one electromagnet and one amplifier. For multi-degree-of-freedom control, multiple electromagnets and multiple amplifiers are necessary, which increases the cost of total system. As a means of overcoming this problem, parallel magnetic suspension has been proposed which controls multiple floators or multi-degree-of-freedom motions with a single power amplifier. This paper focuses on the zero-power control in a two-degree-of-freedom double parallel magnetic suspension system. The steady-state characteristics of this system are clarified by theoretical analysis. When the disturbance acts on one of the suspended points, a steady displacement appears only in the corresponding suspended point. The direction of the steady displacement is opposite to the direction of the disturbance. In addition, the direction of the transient response depends on the point that the disturbance acts on. In experimental apparatus, step response and frequency response are measured to verify the predictions.

Previously, 'diminished haptics' in which real surface texture can be transformed was proposed. Strong intensity ultrasonic vibration was applied to realize demonstration of the concept. To enjoy the demonstration, the intensity of the ultrasonic vibration on solid surface should be maintained. The ultrasonic transducer fabricated for this purpose consisted of a Langevin type ultrasonic transducer and a horn whose end was shaped in square. Large vibration amplitude can be acquired at resonance of the whole transducer as longitudinal vibration mode. On the other hand, resonant frequency easily changes due to operating conditions. To keep the amplitude, the resonant frequency should be tracked by real time. Tracking control with phase detection was applied with a newly developed control system. Step responses of oscillating frequency as results of tracking control are reported. The results show successful tracking control.

The feasibility of zero-power control in flux-path control magnetic suspension is discussed. In the flux-path control magnetic suspension system, ferromagnetic control plates are inserted between a permanent magnet (magnetic source) and a floator and moved to vary the flux from the magnetic source to the floator. The zero-power control has been applied in active magnetic suspension with a DC electromagnet. In the zero-power controlled system, the control current was kept virtually zero in the steady states. The applicability of the zero-power control to the flux-path control magnetic suspension is discussed in this paper. The conditions required to achieve the zero-power control is presented in an analytical form. Experiments are carried in a fabricated apparatus to certify the theoretical predictions.

The rubber hand illusion (RHI) is a bodily illusion that a fake rubber hand is felt as if it was one's own hand when both the hands are synchronously stimulated. Also, it is well-known that people can experience the RHI when the movements of the visible fake and invisible real hands are synchronized. However, underlying mechanism of the RHI and relationship between action and body ownership are still open questions. Based on the RHI paradigm, the present paper discusses how the agency of a body part affects the sense of body ownership at the other body part. In this study, we examined if a simple up-and-down action of right index finger induces the RHI to left hand which was kept still by using virtual reality and robotics technologies. Our experimental results indicated that the action of the right index finger allowed the embodiment of the virtual hands at both the right and left hands. This implies that only a simple action of a body part increases the sense of body ownership at the other body part.

A method of suppressing vibration in lateral directions is investigated based on varying stiffness strategy. A vertically controlled magnetic suspension system is often subjected to vibration in lightly damped lateral directions. In this paper, a novel approach is proposed to detect the lateral displacement of such magnetic suspension system, and how this displacement can be used to reduce vibration by varying stiffness control is presented. The principle of edge effect is applied to detect the lateral displacement in a magnetic suspension system operated in differential mode. A switching stiffness control and a modified control strategies are used to vary the stiffness of the system in order to reduce lateral vibration. Several experiments are carried out to validate the efficiency of the proposed method.

Previously developed multi-mode ultrasonic motor has three driving modes, which are fast driving mode with figure-of-eight locus resonant vibration, impact driving with saw tooth wave form and DC voltage driving mode. The impact driving mode can be divided into two categories. One utilized resonant vibration (fast) and the other uses individual off resonance vibration (slow). For precise positioning, characteristics of stable driving of the slow impact driving mode and stroke of the DC mode are important. This paper reports the characteristics obtained through experiments.

A basic single-degree-of-freedom magnetic suspension system consists of one floator, one electromagnet and one amplifier. For multi-degrees-of-freedom control, multiple electromagnets and multiple amplifiers are necessary, which increases the cost of total system. As a means of overcoming this problem, parallel magnetic suspension has been proposed where multiple floators are controlled with a single power amplifier. Parallel magnetic suspension systems are classified into two types according to the output of the power amplifier: current-controlled and voltage-controlled. Voltage-controlled parallel magnetic suspension systems are classified into two types: series connected and parallel connected. The feasibilities of these systems have been already demonstrated in the previous work. This paper focuses on the voltage-controlled parallel magnetic suspension system with parallel-connected coils. Three approaches to zero-power control are applicable in such a system. This paper compares these approaches in a viewpoint of pole assignment. In addition, a relationship in the feedback gains between the three approaches are presented numerically.

A solar-powered magnetic suspension carrier system is developed in which the carrier is powered without contact. There are two conventional methods of powering the coils of the magnetic suspension carrier: (i) through wire, (ii) onboard battery (wireless) power supply. The contactless is lost in the former while stations for charging the battery are necessary in the latter. These problems are overcome by the proposed carrier system using solar magnetic suspension that can attain continuous levitation. The magnetic suspension carrier is assumed to operate inside rooms like inside a factory building. Because the generation power by solar cells is small, power saving us acritical requirement. Therefore, the zero power control is applied for suspension. In addition, low-power peripheral devices are fabricated. The developed carrier system achieved a five-day levitation without external power supply in a bright environment. In addition, a sloping propulsion mechanism was introduced. The mechanism consists of a track rail and two pillars with actuators to move up and down the track rail. The carrier slides and moves to the lower direction due to gravity below a sloped rail.

Conventional pumps include sliding parts and there is a limit of life time due to friction and wear. To solve this problem, a number of pumps using ultrasonic vibration have been proposed. In the present study, we found an occurrence of pump effect when an opposing block faces ultrasonically vibrating surface with small gap. According to the measurement results of gauge pressure, when circumference of the opposing block is tapered, fluid was discharged from the gap of two surfaces. On the other hand, when center of the block is tapered, fluid was sucked in the gap. This paper reports experimental results of the pump effect. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Our previous study has proposed a novel approach with a robotic/haptic technology to tactile rubber hand illusion (TRHI) paradigm in order to open new discussions about the manipulation of human body-parts ownership. The results demonstrated that the use of master-slave system can cause the TRHI, enabling a unique condition-active self-touch. As an advanced approach, this study examines the effect of force feedback on the TRHI under the active self-touch. We hypothesize that appropriate force feedback plays an important role to determine our body-parts ownership; people would not experience the TRHI if the force feedback from a fake hand largely differs from the contact force on a real hand. This paper, in particular, discusses how the force feedback affects the TRHI under the active self-touch by variously changing force rendering on the master device.

This paper introduces a novel technique of trapping or gathering particles sinking under a liquid using the standing wave generated by oscillating the container In this study, a prototype oscillation system based on a respective control is developed to generate various standing wave fields in water First, the gathering positions of particles are attempted to be predicted by analyzing the wavelength of standing wave, considering the oscillation frequency of container as a key parameter Based on the analysis, the oscillation system was driven in several wavelengths (modes) and the distribution of particles was compared with the predicted positions by using an image processing. Through this experiment, we present how the oscillation of container produces the transitions of particles in the water and examine the mechanism.

This paper proposes a novel experimental environment to evaluate multimodal feedback strategies for augmented navigation of the visually impaired. The environment consists of virtual obstacles and walls, an optical tracking system and a simple device with audio and vibrotactile feedback that interacts with the virtual environment, and presents many advantages in terms of safety, flexibility, control over experimental parameters and cost. The subject can freely move in an empty room, while the position of head and arm are tracked in real time. A virtual environment (walls, obstacles) is randomly generated, and audio and vibrotactile feedback are given according to the distance from the subjects arm to the virtual walls/objects. We investigate the applicability of our environment using a simple, commercially available feedback device. Experiments with unimpaired subjects show that it is possible to use the setup to "blindly" navigate in an unpredictable virtual environment. This validates the environment as a test platform to investigate navigation and exploration strategies of the visually impaired, and to evaluate novel technologies for augmented navigation.

Currently, the concept of ergonomically designed workplace using 3D graphic mannequins is gaining wide acceptance among the design engineers. However, predicting the human operational feeling level (i.e., comfort or discomfort level) during an ergonomic analysis of a virtual work situation is still in immature level. The current study is an attempt in that direction. This paper presents an approach that estimates the degree of comfort or discomfort felt by an operator during a lever manipulation task by using limb anthropometric and kinematic data. In this study, a haptic lever has been developed that emulates a lock-ball type lever action. Experiments were carried out with healthy male subjects under two different torque characteristics of the haptic lever. Using multiple regression analysis it has been found that the subjects operational feeling level can be estimated by means of shoulder flexion-extension angle and manipulability measure.

2009 - 2009, English
This paper describes the development of a 2-DOF electrostatic haptic joystick designed for neuroscience studies in an MRI/fMRI. The joystick is fabricated using non-magnetic materials and actuated by two high-power electrostatic motor units which produce various force fields in the horizontal plane. The electrostatic motor is a synchronous drive and thus the positioning of the joystick is achieved in an open-loop control. As for force sensing, a 2-DOF force sensor is developed using non-magnetic materials and optical fibers so as to measure interaction force with a user; hence, the haptic rendering is based on the admittance control scheme that respects the rule of force-in and position-out. The operation of both the actuators and force sensor respects non-magnetic principles. Thus, the haptic joystick into which these components are integrated is expected to have high MR compatibility, although the evaluation of the MR compatibility is beyond the scope of this paper. In this paper, the device performance is evaluated in the normal environment, which verifies the operation of the unique electrostatic haptic device.

This study attempts to make a compact humanoid robot acquire a giant-swing motion without any robotic models by using reinforcement learning; only the interaction with environment is available. Generally, it is widely said that this type of learning method is not appropriated to obtain dynamic motions because Markov property is not necessarily guaranteed during the dynamic task. However, in this study, we try to avoid this problem by embedding the dynamic information in the robotic state space; the applicability of the proposed method is considered using both the real robot and dynamic simulator. This paper, in particular, discusses how the robot with 5-DOF, in which the Q-Learning algorithm is implemented, acquires a giant-swing motion. Further, we describe the reward effects on the Q-Learning. Finally, this paper demonstrates that the application of the Q-Learning enable the robot to perform a very attractive giant-swing motion.

This paper describes the effect of Muller-Lyer illusion on a reaching movement just after the visual and haptic/kinesthetic cues are simultaneously presented. First, a standard experiment on this visual illusion is conducted by means of the most typical way so as to make sure that participants can experience this illusion; the result shows that all the subjects are deceived by the illusion figure as in many previous results. As the next step, the subjects are asked to physically trace one of three lines-normal line and lines with feathers of an arrow-with the same length displayed on an LCD. After a few traces, the line suddenly vanishes, and then the subjects retrace the invisible line based on only their memory and somatic sensations. During this task, we measure the trajectory of fingertip from a start to the goal using a motion capture system. The result indicates that the Muller-Lyer illusion dominantly affects the reaching task although the haptic/kinesthetic cue was also given just before the task. Thus, this result implies that the visual illusion affects the motion planning, which partly supports a planning-motion model.

In this paper, we attempt to make a compact humanoid robot acquire the giant swing motion without any robotic models by using reinforcement learning; in particular, this paper applies Q-learning algorithm. The reinforcement learning method is said to be not suitable for dynamic tasks because Markov property is not necessarily guaranteed. However, we tried to avoid this problem by considering angular velocity in state definition and averaging Q-value at every step to reduce the dynamic noise. The ODE-based simulator is also used to find the best reward for acquiring the giant motion. Further, learning process is divided into two stages, and finally they enable attractive giant swing motion like gymnast.

This paper attempts to make gecko-shaped robot voluntarily acquire the advance motion only by the interaction with environment; the desired trajectory, such as action patterns, is not preliminary given to the robot. In this paper, Q-learning algorithm, one of reinforcement learning algorithms, is applied to the gecko-shaped robot in order to learn the robotic gait patterns. This study, in particular, attempts to reveal the evolutionary process by observing the transition of motion forms appeared in the learning. The results show how a gecko-shaped robot, in which Q-Learning algorithm is implemented, acquires the advance motion. Furthermore, this paper deliberates the effect of robotic functions, such as a kinematic constraint and actuating performances, on the learned gait patterns.

This paper discusses human weight perception using a haptic device. The objective of this study is to reveal the characteristics in human force sensations, which are difficult to examine in a real environment Further, we aim to apply the perceptual mechanisms to multimedia applications as the final target. In this study, we particularly examine the weight discriminative powers for various weight changes. Expanding our previous study, we compare the difference thresholds for the weight addition and removal during a goal-directed lifting. A statistical analysis implies that our weight discriminative power for the weight addition tends to improve in the deceleration process. As for the weight removal, the weight discriminative power declines in the deceleration process due to the inertia effect in the vicinity of the target height In addition, this study tries to reveal the weight perception when the load force is gradually changed. The result implies that the time variation in the load force holds the tremendous potential to enable us to experience attractive force sensations and haptic illusions.

The main purpose of this study is to apply the mechanism of human weight perception to multimedia applications. When a start and the goal points are given in the human motion, the velocity profile has an unimodal profile including the acceleration and deceleration zones. In such case, it is widely said that the motion control becomes more accurate in the deceleration zone for the final approach. Hence, it is assumed that the sensing ability also improves. This study challenges to confirm the hypothesis with weight stimuli generated by a force display device. As a preliminary experiment, this study confirms that our device enables the evaluation of human perception by tracing Weber's experiment in virtual reality
the obtained difference threshold (DL: Differenz Limen) almost agrees with the previous results. The difference threshold is a very important factor, which means perceptual threshold for weight changes. We further attempt to clarify the mechanism of the human weight perception for sudden weight changes during the lifting process. Based on individual lifting profiles, this study suddenly changes the load force in the two zones, and examines the difference thresholds of each subject. The results demonstrate that the human weight perception tends to become more sensitive in the deceleration zone during the lifting process.

This paper investigates the motion forms of robots generated by the Q-Learning algorithm during the learning process. We analyzed the manner in which a caterpillar robot, which performs looping motions using two actuators, acquires advance actions by focusing on the process. By observing a series of processes, we confirmed that various motion forms appeared or disappeared as a result of their interactions with the learning process and approach an optimum motion form. In most algorithms, such motion forms cannot appear in the learning process because its framework is almost predetermined by the teacher data, and the cost functions for learning cannot be usually considered as a continuous process. The characteristics of reinforcement learning are very interesting from the viewpoint of biological evolution. This paper describes the effects of the interaction between the robot kinematics and the environment as a direct result of changing the environment. In addition, this study challenged the acquisition of two-dimensional motions with a starfish robot having four actuators. The result demonstrates that the robot can obtain a reasonable motion from the complicated relationships with the environment by skillfully employing its structure. Moreover, this paper implies that the reward manipulation may give a new insight for the learning process by the investigations performed in this study. This paper examines the possibility of the reward combinations for generating arbitrary motions.

Human beings cannot control a position of sphere on the disk without seeing it. Because under such a condition, as we determine the position and estimate the motion of sphere by use of visual information, it is very difficult for human beings to control it using only tactile or force information of a hand. This is why the tactile and the force information are less quantitative for human beings than the visual information. On the other hand, a robot can deal with this qualitative information as quantitative values. Therefore, the robot seems to have the possibility that it carries out such difficult tasks for human beings using only force information.
In this paper, we propose the estimation method of the position of sphere (made of crystal) on the disk from the force information measured with three - directional force sensors. Then, we tried to examine whether the robot fingers can control the motion of sphere on the disk using only these force information. Actually, the position and the velocity information estimated from force information enable the robot fingers to control the sphere by applying a simple PD control algorithm. Moreover, this paper adds Lyanpunov's stability analysis of the proposed control algorithm. Finally, this results show new robot task which human beings cannot realize, whose demonstration is very interesting.

2005 - 2005, English
dIn this paper, by focusing on weight perception, we attempted to clarify a perceptual mechanism using functions of the haptic interface. We especially examined the weight perceptual mechanism when the weight of an object suddenly changed, which does not take place in our natural life. This experimental condition can only be realized by using the advantage of the haptic interface. The results show the difference in the perceptual threshold due to addition and reduction of the weight. Moreover, the results indicate that subjects can also correct the supporting force corresponding to the sudden change in the weight when they could not sense the change. Namely, it implies that subjects adjust the supporting force under an imperceptible state, which may indicate an interesting muscular motion tinder a state of unconsciousness.

Multi-media services such as audio and visual media have been advanced rapidly. In addition to them, physical force information is expected as the next multi-media service. As for these services, Haptic Interface is the most promising service as the force display system. Although the Haptic Interface has been studied vigorously, many researches are only concentrating on its mechanism and control system, which means that these researches are not studied systematically. This paper describes the overall force display procedure using the Haptic Interface in order to grasp this problem systematically. This paper shows a composition of hardware systems, control methods, geometrical models of the virtual object, evaluation of force feeling, and manipulation of the virtual object.
