On the realization of a novel anthropomorphic hand for humanoid robotics: RoboCasa
نویسنده
چکیده
In Japan, the average age of the population is rising faster than other nations in the world, due to decrease of birth rate and increase of elderly people. A possible solution to this problem is a new generation of personal robots capable of a natural communication with humans. In this sense, human hands play a fundamental role in exploration, communication, and interaction with objects and other persons. In this paper, the novel anthropomorphic hand for humanoid robotics, RCH-1 (RoboCasa Hand #1), and its integration into the humanoid robotic platform WE-4RII (Waseda Eye #4 Refined II) is presented.

This article presents the approaches taken to integrate a novel anthropomorphic robot hand into a humanoid robot. The requisites enabling such a robot hand to use everyday objects in an environment built for humans are presented. Starting from a design that resembles the human hand regarding size and movability of the mechatronical system, a low-level control system is shown providing reliable ...
متن کاملOn Anthropomorphism in Technology-Enhanced Language Learning: Does Modality Matter in Agent-Based Multimedia Instruction on L2 Idioms?
The present study aimed to satisfy a twofold purpose: On the one hand, it sought to verify the postulation that agent-based instruction could offer a compromise approach to teaching L2 idioms where form and meaning would be equally emphasized during instruction. Given that anthropomorphism has not been much under scrutiny, this research, on the other hand, sought to ascertain whether learning a...
