    摘要: An interactive system for interacting with a sentient being. The system includes a robotic companion of which the sentient being may be a user and an entity which employs the robot as a participant in an activity involving the user. The robotic companion responds to inputs from an environment that includes the user during the activity. The robotic companion is capable of social and affective behavior either under control of the entity or in response to the environment. The entity may provide an interface by which an operator may control the robotic companion. Example applications for the interactive system include as a system for communicating with patients that have difficulties communicating verbally, a system for teaching remotely-located students or students with communication difficulties, a system for facilitating social interaction between a remotely-located relative and a child, and systems in which the user and the robot interact with an entity such as a smart book. Also disclosed are control interfaces for the robotic companion, techniques for rendering the robotic companion sensitive to touch and responding to those touches, and techniques for providing quiet, back-drivable motion to components of the robotic companion.

    摘要: A transfer device for transferring a transfer target object includes a support member, which is movable forward and backward, for supporting the transfer target object, and a sensor for detecting that a tip of the support member comes into contact with an obstacle when the support member moves forward. The sensor includes a first conductive ring having flexibility, which is provided at the tip of the support member in a grounded state, a second conductive ring provided inside the first conductive ring and separated from the first conductive ring, and a detector which detects that the first conductive ring and the second conductive ring are short-circuited when the first conductive ring comes into contact with the second conductive ring by being deformed due to a contact with the obstacle.

    摘要: A radio tag sensor system includes a plurality of radio tag sensor chips, which incorporate respective sensors, store unique identification numbers, a plurality of micro base stations, and a central processing unit which perform communications with the micro base stations via a connection network. Each of the micro base stations performs wireless communications with and wirelessly supplies electric power to only those of the radio tag sensor chips which are disposed in an assigned region thereof. Each of the assigned regions includes at least one radio tag sensor chip which is not included in the other assigned regions. The central processing unit controls the communications via the connection network. The central processing unit collects the sensed values from sensors of the radio tag sensor chips through the micro base stations, generates a spatial distribution map of the sensed values, and updates the spatial distribution map with time.

    摘要: Robots and other mobile apparatus, especially robotic bipeds, that exhibit agile capabilities can become easily destabilized by obstacles or particular surfaces. An algorithm for controlling the movement of a robot based on visual cues and learning processes will help to avoid destabilization and movement interruption by altering the gait measurement. As such, when the robot predicts that an obstacle is upcoming, it can make adjustments by either increasing or decreasing stride so that a smooth transition can be made in bypassing the obstacle.
