  • Internet-based robotic system using CORBA as communication architecture
    SM Jia; K Takase
    In this paper, we propose the Internet-based robotic system that uses Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) to implement networking connections between a client and a remote robotic system. The client can transparently invoke a method on a server across the network without any need to know where the application servers are located, or what programming language and operating system are used. This lets the system overcome the shortcomings of the other typical Internet robotic system. To cope with time delays on the communication path, we have implemented the robot control server, which allows the user to control the telerobotic system at a task-level. We have also implemented the live image feedback server, which provides live image feedback for a remote user. The proposed system gives the users the ability to operate the remote robotic system to retrieve and manipulate the desired tableware or other things to support the aged and disabled over the Internet by using the intuitive user interface., KLUWER ACADEMIC PUBL, Jun. 2002, JOURNAL OF INTELLIGENT & ROBOTIC SYSTEMS, 34, 2, 121-134, English, 0921-0296, WOS:000175785700001

  • Switching remote robot manipulation in Internet TeleCare systems
    CH Hou; SM Jia; G Ye; K Takase
    In this paper, a Java and common object request broker architecture (CORBA) based management server is presented to switch the robot manipulating rights among the authorized caregivers in Internet TeleCare systems. A software switch, a chat room and a media control unit (MCU), which connect to database by Java database connectivity (JDBC), are developed as server software. The client software is programmed as two applets, robot remote manipulation and chat client, and embedded into a web page in the management server. CORBA HOP is employed as communication platform between the robot control server program of C++ and the software switch of Java. The whole TeleCare system with image and video monitor is verified in campus networks. The developed robot manipulating management system will improve the Internet robot TeleCare system topology, and adapt to the mass application in the future., IEEE, 2002, IEEE ICIT' 02: 2002 IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY, VOLS I AND II, PROCEEDINGS, 886-891, English, WOS:000183624400166
  • Indoor navigation of multiple mobile robots in a dynamic environment using iGPS
    Y Hada; K Matsukuma; K Takase; R Hirata; K Ohgaki; S Okumura
    A delivery service system employing multiple mobile robots, which enables many users to use the delivery service simultaneously, needs the capability to reliably direct robots to their destinations in an office-like environment. In the preliminary stages-of our work, we achieved deadlock-free navigation of such a multi-robot system in a static environment, where obstacles did not move. The next stage, which is presented in this paper, progressed to the robust navigation of a multi-robot system in a dynamic environment, where obstacles, such as chairs or people, are moving. To do this, we used two methods. The first method recognizes obstacles by a mark-based vision technique and updates the environmental map with iGPS. The. second method is a conventional one that detects unknown obstacles by an onboard laser range finder. To test our navigation methods, we conducted actual multi-robot experiments in an office-like environment., IEEE, 2002, 2002 IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION, VOLS I-IV, PROCEEDINGS, 2682-2688, English, WOS:000178573200423

  • Distributed telecare robotic systems using CORBA as a communication architecture
    SM Jia; Y Hada; G Ye; K Takase
    Because the elderly population is growing while the number of people to take care of them is declining, the aging problem is becoming an increasingly important social issue. Thus, developing the inexpensive support system for these elderly people staying alone at home or small-scale distributed facilities is becoming particularly and timely important. This paper proposes a basic platform design of a network distributed telecare robotic systems using CORBA as communication architecture, which has high scaling and inter-operating ability that allows the different supporter groups to make their own independent computing decisions develop their applications. It also has remote accessibility for caregivers, and the other. helpers from any location where a Web browser is available. Using the developed platform, we implemented task-level robot arm server, mobile robot control server, and live image feedback server, which realized some basic telecare services for the aged and disabled., IEEE, 2002, 2002 IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION, VOLS I-IV, PROCEEDINGS, 2202-2207, English, WOS:000178573200346

  • An Approach to Developing Integrated Software for Robots in a Uniform Programming Style based on BeNet and Java
    OKA Tetsushi; TASHIRO Junya; UESAKA Gakuji; TAKASE Kunikatsu
    This paper presents an approach to developing integrated software for robots in a uniform style of description. First, we introduce a programming style for describing autonomous systems uniformly as platform independent portable modular programs, which is based on BeNet, a real-time parallel computation model, and Java. Then, we propose an approach to developing modifiable modular software for robots in our programming style. In this approach, developers can easily modify and extend an existing information system by adding software modules of two types, Behavior Units (BUs) and Data Holding Objects (DHOs) . Our approach is suitable for building real-time systems for robot behavior control by integrating diverse algorithms for recognition, motion control, planning, learning and communication. By showing how to build an integrated system for a quadruped mobile robot that can communicate with humans, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach., The Robotics Society of Japan, 2001, JRSJ, 19, 2, 59-68, Japanese, 0289-1824, 10010814190, AN00141189

    T Oka; J Tashiro; K Takase
    This paper proposes a programming method for developing autonomous agents that behave intelligently in unpredictable environments, by extending their descriptions to realize larger behavioral repertoires. In our programming method, an agent is described as a concurrent program which updates a finite set of data objects in real time at regular intervals in an object-oriented programming language so that its description can be modular and reusable. The description of an agent specifies its property independent of hardware platforms. The proposed method is suitable for developing an agent difficult to develop based on a top-down approach alone.

    This paper proposes the task based data exchange for teleoperation systems through communication network as an efficient transmission method of data between an operation device and a remote robot. On the task-based data exchange, the more important information according to the contents and conditions of the task which the robot performs is given priority to transmit, for example, by altering the contents of the transmitted data. We have built the experimental system in which the master arm in Tsukuba and the slave arm in Kawasaki are connected through N-ISDN and the standard techniques are utilized, such as TCP/IP, socket, JPEG, etc. A series of experimental task has been effectively carried out by the task based data exchange, that is, the crank operation which consists of grasp and revolution. The communication network with capacity limitation was used effectively and the high maneuverability in real-time with bilateral servo control has been realized. Then the effectiveness of the task based data exchange has been confirmed., The Robotics Society of Japan, 1999, JRSJ, 17, 8, 1114-1125, Japanese, 0289-1824, 10004734618, AN00141189
  • Observation of the State of Tasks Through the Measurement of the Frictional Force
    AMAGAI Akihiro; TAKASE Kunikatsu
    A new method of observing the state of tasks is presented. When a robot rubs an object with an end effector, it generates a frictional force which contains much information on the state of tasks. Force measured with a wrist force sensor is analyzed. The friction is classified into viscous friction or Coulomb friction, according to the relation between the friction force and velocity. The state of contact can be determined by estimating the type of friction: if the friction is viscous, a surface contact is supposed, while Coulomb suggests a point contact. This function can be useful in the reliable performance of assembly tasks.
    In addition, by gauging the magnitude of the frictional force, we can detect the shortage of paint held in a brush in a painting task. This function can also be applied to other tasks such as polishing a floor with wax or wiping off an oil stain.
    In the experiment, surface contact between two planes is successfully achieved, and a board is uniformly painted, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed method., The Robotics Society of Japan, 1999, JRSJ, 17, 7, 1017-1022, Japanese, 0289-1824, 10007550793, AN00141189

  • Task Level Feedback Control of a Robot Based on the Integration of Real-time Recognition and Motion Plannig
    HADA Yoshiro; TAKASE Kunikatsu
    This paper discusses a methodology to allow a robot to execute the task autonomously with high confidence and its method of the systematization. Taking up the mobility of a robot without collision in the dynamic environment as an example, a concept of the feedback control for the execution of the task is introduced. The key idea is to incorporate the real-time recognition and motion planning functions into the task control loop. For real-time recognition of the environment, mark-based vision is proposed to be systematized. In additoin, algorithm to do a global motion planning in the environment where movable obstacles exist is proposed to be implemented. By integrating the real-time recognition and motion planning, we succeed in forming a control loop for the task. It is verified by experiments that mobility of a robot controled by the proposed method is done without failure except that a human handler intentionally disturbed the movement of the robot., The Robotics Society of Japan, 1997, JRSJ, 15, 2, 296-305, Japanese, 0289-1824, 10005317458, AN00141189

The key concept of this system consists of the combination of manipulation skills with an environment model. The model provides the geometric structure and the physical properties of the objects in the environment.
