Design Approach of Biologically - Inspired Musculoskeletal
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to realize more natural and various motions like humans, humanlike musculoskeletal tendon-driven humanoids have been studied. Especially, it is very challenging to design musculoskeletal body structure which consists of complicated bones, redundant powerful and flexible muscles, and large number of distributed sensors. In addition, it is very challenging to reveal humanlike intelligence to manage these complicated musculoskeletal body structure. This paper sums up life-sized musculoskeletal humanoids Kenta, Kotaro, Kenzoh and Kenshiro which we have developed so far, and describes key technologies to develop and control these robots.

Biologically Inspired Design: a Macrocognitive Account
Biologically inspired engineering design is an approach to design that espouses the adaptation of functions and mechanisms in biological sciences to solve engineering design problems. We have conducted an in situ study of designers engaged in biologically inspired design. Based on this study we develop here a macrocognitive information-processing model of biologically inspired design. We also c...
متن کاملOn the Analogical Roots of Biologically Inspired Design
Biologically inspired design is an approach to design that espouses the adaptation of functions and mechanisms in biological sciences to solve engineering design problems. Biologically inspired design is inherently analogical in nature, yet our understanding of its analogical basis is limited. In this paper we present an observational study that describes an intricate episode of biologically in...
متن کاملThe Impact of Robot Design Approach on Product Evaluation, Product Usefulness and Purchase Intention
Robot design approach can be classified into two: biologically inspired versus functionally designed. This study explored the effect of robot design types on product evaluation, product usefulness, and purchase intention. In the experiment, we compared a group of functionally designed robots having single functions with a biologically inspired robot having multifarious functions. The results sh...
متن کاملBiologically-Inspired Innovation in Engineering Design: A Cognitive Study
Biologically-inspired design uses analogous biological phenomena to develop solutions for engineering problems. Understanding, learning and practicing this approach to design is challenging because biologists and engineers speak different languages, have different perspectives on design, with different constraints on design problems and different resources for realizing an abstract design. In F...
متن کاملPepper or Roomba? Effective Robot Design Type Based on Cultural Analysis between Korean and Japanese Users
From a design perspective, there are two ways in robot design approach: biologically inspired and functionally designed. It has been proved that the two robot design types could be perceived differently by the cultural background. This study explored the impact of robot design types in Korean and Japanese culture on product evaluation, product usefulness, and purchase intention. We conducted an...
