1 Man-Machine Synergy Effector Anthropomorphic Robotic Tools based on Hybrid Approaches Dr. KANAOKA Katsuya Man-Machine Synergy Effectors Inc. & Advanced Robotics Research Ritsumeikan Univ.

2 Imagine the new world in the near future Our technology may realize some gadgets in SF APU in Matrix Revolutions (You may know) AMP Suit in Avatar (You may know) LandMate in Appleseed (You may not know) Imagine what you can do if you get these gadgets No longer a fantasy!

3 What We Do Not Aim Machines Human Intelligent and Autonomous, in Substitution for Human &

4 What We Aim Machines Human as Tools for Human, not Autonomous, Just Physical Man-Machine Synergy based on Physical Interaction '

5 Our Goal: Man-Machine Synergy Not substitution, but synergy Robots used just as physical tools for human not necessarily anthropomorphic, but ideally anthropomorphic The synergy system of human and robotic tools can overcome both human and robot Man-Machine Synergy Effector (MMSE) %

6 What is Man-Machine Synergy Effector?

Conceptual Difference Conventional Exoskeletons The operator's body is enforced to be moved by exoskeleton MMSE The operator 's body moves exoskeleton

7 Conceptual Difference Conventional Exoskeletons The operator's body is enforced to be moved by exoskeleton MMSE The operator 's body moves exoskeleton intuitively by intention with feeling the physical interaction of his/her own body, robot, and environment This is what we think the real exoskeleton (

10 Three Prototypes of MMSE Power Finger Power Effector Power Pedal - Amplification of leg force #"

11 Power Pedal can do more Current prototype no ability of balancing only on even terrain Our new technology is ready now hybrid control of power-amp & auto-balancing hardware to correspond to rough terrains ##

12 Simulation of Auto-Balancing Control #!

13 The Progress of Man-Machine Synergy Effectors 2002~ 2004~ 2003~ 2006~ 2005~ 2007~ From Kyoto Univ. to Rits Near Future 2008~ National Project for Expo 2005 Aichi, Japan Power Pedal (ICRA2008) powered bipedal walking by man-machine synergy in lower extremities realization of skillful heavy work Vibration Suppression of Flexible Manipulators at the dawn of Virtual Power Limiter System (ICRA2003) Power Finger more than 100 times power amplification of a human finger realization of stable human power amplification (ICRA2005) National Project for GIFU & OGAKI Robotics Advanced Medical Cluster, Japan walking assist device augmentation of for the elderly lower extremities' capability augmentation of all physical capabilities of human Power Effector (ICRA2006) multi-dof power amplification of a human upper extremity Dr. KANAOKA Ritsumeikan Univ. & Man-Machine Synergy Effectors Inc. Practical Realization of Man-Machine Synergy Effectors

14 What are realized by our technology? Skill - human dexterous skills and more Power - power amplification by 1000 times and more You can do any work using your own physical skill with the machine power of MMSE The size, shape, speed, and other performances are up to the hardwares... No big deal The Power Loader in Aliens can be out of date now That doesn't have enough performance #'

15 For Our Future Design

16 Imagine the new world with MMSE Every human physical work should be powered No more heavy labor It means... Human physical skills are valued more highly Productivity growth in labor-intensive work Motivation growth in physical workers We can change our world PHYSICALLY, No sweat #+

17 Application Fields Civil engineering, Architecture, Construction Agriculture, Forestry Demining, Oil-Drilling Fire-Fighting, Disaster-Relief Police, Security, Riot Control, Self-Defense Force #(
