  • Coevolution of myoelectric hand control under the tactile interaction among fingers and objects
    Yuki Kuroda; Yusuke Yamanoi; Shunta Togo; Yinlai Jiang; Hiroshi Yokoi
    Cyborg and Bionic Systems, American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2022, 9861875, 1-18, Jan. 2022, Peer-reviwed, The usability of a prosthetic hand differs significantly from that of a real hand. Moreover, the complexity of manipulation increases as the number of degrees of freedom to be controlled increases, making manipulation with biological signals extremely difficult. To overcome this problem, users need to select a grasping posture that is adaptive to the object and a stable grasping method that prevents the object from falling. In previous studies, these have been left to the operating skills of the user, which is extremely difficult to achieve. In this study, we demonstrate how stable and adaptive grasping can be achieved according to the object regardless of the user’s operation technique. The required grasping technique is achieved by determining the correlation between the motor output and each sensor through the interaction between the prosthetic hand and the surrounding stimuli, such as myoelectricity, sense of touch, and grasping objects. The agents of the 16-DOF robot hand were trained with the myoelectric signals of six participants, including one child with a congenital forearm deficiency. Consequently, each agent could open and close the hand in response to the myoelectric stimuli and could accomplish the object pickup task. For the tasks, the agents successfully identified grasping patterns suitable for practical and stable positioning of the objects. In addition, the agents were able to pick up the object in a similar posture regardless of the participant, suggesting that the hand was optimized by evolutionary computation to a posture that prevents the object from being dropped.

    Journal of the Society of Biomechanisms, Society of Biomechanisms, 43, 4, 248-255, 2019, Peer-reviwed, To realize an electric shoulder prosthesis arm system that can be used without long-term training, we developed an intuitive shoulder disarticulation prosthesis system. The developed system consisted of four degrees of freedom joints and control system adapting a user through machine learning technique and surface myoelectric potential of the trunk. We measured the surface myoelectric potential of the trunk of healthy subjects at multiple points and analyzed by using a principal component analysis to identify the proper myoelectric potential measurement part of the trunk. As a result, it was revealed that the proper EMG measurement site of the trunk is distributed in the chest and back. In addition, as a result of the experiment of verifying the grasping / moving motion of the object by the shoulder artificial arm using the surface myoelectric potential of the chest and the back for controlling the motion of the arm, all the subjects successfully grasped and moved the object within a certain period of time.

  • Empirical Evaluation of Voluntarily Activatable Muscle Synergies
    Shunta Togo; Hiroshi Imamizu
    Lead, Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 11, 82, Sep. 2017, Peer-reviwed, The muscle synergy hypothesis assumes that individual muscle synergies are independent of each other and voluntarily controllable. However, this assumption has not been empirically tested. This study tested if human subjects can voluntarily activate individual muscle synergies extracted by non-negative matrix factorization (N-MF), the standard mathematical method for synergy extraction. We defined the activation of a single muscle synergy as the generation of a muscle activity pattern vector parallel to the single muscle synergy vector. Subjects performed an isometric force production task with their right hand, and the 13 muscle activity patterns associated with their elbow and shoulder movements were measured. We extracted muscle synergies during the task using electromyogram (E-MG) data and the NMF method with varied numbers of muscle synergies. The number (N) of muscle synergies was determined by using the variability accounted for (VAF, N-VAF) and the coefficient of determination (CD, N-CD). An additional muscle synergy model with N-AD was also considered. We defined a conventional muscle synergy as the muscle synergy extracted by the NVAF, N-CD, and N-AD. We also defined an extended muscle synergy as the muscle synergy extracted by the NEX>N-AD. To examine whether the individual muscle synergy was voluntarily activatable or not, we calculated the index of independent activation, which reflects similarities between a selected single muscle synergy and the current muscle activation pattern of the subject. Subjects were visually feed-backed the index of independent activation, then instructed to generate muscle activity patterns similar to the conventional and extended muscle synergies. As a result, an average of 90.8% of the muscle synergy extracted by the N-VAF was independently activated. However, the proportion of activatable muscle synergies extracted by N-CD and N-AD was lower. These results partly support the assumption of the muscle synergy hypothesis, i.e., that the conventional method can extract voluntarily and independently activatable muscle synergies by using the appropriate index of reconstruction. Moreover, an average of 25.5% of the extended muscle synergy was significantly activatable. This result suggests that the CNS can use extended muscle synergies to perform voluntary movements.

  • Control strategy of hand movement depends on target redundancy
    Shunta Togo; Toshinori Yoshioka; Hiroshi Imamizu
    Lead, Scientific Reports, NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 7, 45722, Mar. 2017, Peer-reviwed, Reaching toward a point target has been intensively studied in human motor control. However, little is known about reaching toward a redundant target, such as grasping a bar, in which the grasping point is irrelevant to the achievement of a task. We examined whether humans could solve the targetredundancy and control problems in a serial fashion or control their body without solving the targetredundancy problem. We equalized the target ranges between two reaching tasks: a point-to-point reaching task without target-redundancy and a point-to-bar reaching task with target-redundancy. In the both tasks, we measured hand viscoelasticity at movement end as parameters that reflect the adopted control strategy. As a result, the hand viscoelasticity in the point-to-bar reaching task was smaller than that in the point-to-point reaching task, even under the same kinematics. These results indicate that the hand viscoelasticity was modulated depending on the target-redundancy. Moreover, it is suggested that a human reaches toward a redundant target by effectively utilizing information of target redundancy rather than explicitly solving the target-redundancy problem.

  • Anticipatory synergy adjustments reflect individual performance of feedforward force control
    Shunta Togo; Hiroshi Imamizu
    Lead, Neuroscience Letters, ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 632, 192-198, Oct. 2016, Peer-reviwed, We grasp and dexterously manipulate an object through multi-digit synergy. In the framework of the uncontrolled manifold (UCM) hypothesis, multi-digit synergy is defined as the coordinated control mechanism of fingers to stabilize variable important for task success, e.g., total force. Previous studies reported anticipatory synergy adjustments (ASAs) that correspond to a drop of the synergy index before a quick change of the total force. The present study compared ASA's properties with individual performances of feedforward force control to investigate a relationship of those. Subjects performed a total finger force production task that consisted of a phase in which subjects tracked target line with visual information and a phase in which subjects produced total force pulse without visual information. We quantified their multi-digit synergy through UCM analysis and observed significant ASAs before producing total force pulse. The time of the ASA initiation and the magnitude of the drop of the synergy index were significantly correlated with the error of force pulse, but not with the tracking error. Almost all subjects showed a significant increase of the variance that affected the total force. Our study directly showed that ASA reflects the individual performance of feedforward force control independently of target-tracking performance and suggests that the multi-digit synergy was weakened to adjust the multi-digit movements based on a prediction error so as to reduce the future error.

  • Uncontrolled Manifold Reference Feedback Control of Multi-Joint Robot Arms
    Shunta Togo; Takahiro Kagawa; Yoji Uno
    Lead, Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 10, 69, Jul. 2016, Peer-reviwed, The brain must coordinate with redundant bodies to perform motion tasks. The aim of the present study is to propose a novel control model that predicts the characteristics of human joint coordination at a behavioral level. To evaluate the joint coordination, an uncontrolled manifold (UCM) analysis that focuses on the trial-to-trial variance of joints has been proposed. The UCM is a nonlinear manifold associated with redundant kinematics. In this study, we directly applied the notion of the UCM to our proposed control model called the "UCM reference feedback control." To simplify the problem, the present study considered how the redundant joints were controlled to regulate a given target hand position. We considered a conventional method that pre-determined a unique target joint trajectory by inverse kinematics or any other optimization method. In contrast, our proposed control method generates a UCM as a control target at each time step. The target UCM is a subspace of joint angles whose variability does not affect the hand position. The joint combination in the target UCM is then selected so as to minimize the cost function, which consisted of the joint torque and torque change. To examine whether the proposed method could reproduce human-like joint coordination, we conducted simulation and measurement experiments. In the simulation experiments, a three-link arm with a shoulder, elbow, and wrist regulates a one-dimensional target of a hand through proposed method. In the measurement experiments, subjects performed a one-dimensional target-tracking task. The kinematics, dynamics, and joint coordination were quantitatively compared with the simulation data of the proposed method. As a result, the UCM reference feedback control could quantitatively reproduce the difference of the mean value for the end hand position between the initial postures, the peaks of the bell-shape tangential hand velocity, the sum of the squared torque, the mean value for the torque change, the variance components, and the index of synergy as well as the human subjects. We concluded that UCM reference feedback control can reproduce human-like joint coordination. The inference for motor control of the human central nervous system based on the proposed method was discussed.

  • Changes in motor synergies for tracking movement and responses to perturbations depend on task-irrelevant dimension constraints
    Shunta Togo; Takahiro Kagawa; Yoji Uno
    Lead, Human Movement Science, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 46, 104-116, Apr. 2016, Peer-reviwed, We investigated the changes in the motor synergies of target-tracking movements of hands and the responses to perturbation when the dimensionalities of target positions were changed. We used uncontrolled manifold (UCM) analyses to quantify the motor synergies. The target was changed from one to two dimensions, and the direction orthogonal to the movement direction was switched from task-irrelevant directions to task-relevant directions. The movement direction was task-relevant in both task conditions. Hence, we evaluated the effects of constraints on the redundant dimensions on movement tracking. Moreover, we could compare the two types of responses to the same directional perturbations in one- and two-dimensional target tasks. In the one-dimensional target task, the perturbation along the movement direction and the orthogonal direction were task-relevant and-irrelevant perturbations, respectively. In the two-dimensional target task, the both perturbations were task-relevant perturbations. The results of the experiments showed that the variabilities of the hand positions in the two-dimensional target-tracking task decreased, but the variances of the joint angles did not significantly change. For the task-irrelevant perturbations, the variances of the joint angles within the UCM that did not affect hand position (UCM component) increased. For the task-relevant perturbations, the UCM component tended to increase when the available UCM was large. These results suggest that humans discriminate whether the perturbations were task-relevant or-irrelevant and then adjust the responses of the joints by utilizing the available UCM.

  • Force-magnification mechanism with artificial tendon sheath for myoelectric prosthetic hand for children
    Hesong Ye; Xiang Feng; Yoshiko Yabuki; Shunta Togo; Yinlai Jiang; Hiroshi Yokoi
    IEEE International Conference on robotics and biomimetics (ROBIO2016), IEEE, 533-538, 2016, Peer-reviwed, Myoelectric prosthetic hands (MPH) for children are being studied to meet with the need of children with upper limb deficiency. The MPH for children developed in a previous study was lack of stability and mechanical adaptability, and could not be controlled to meet with variable scenes in real life. We therefore developed a steady mechanism to ensure its mechanical stability, and conducted a pick-and-place experiment to verify its practical performance. Furthermore, we designed a bionic mechanism to enhance its mechanical adaptability. The mechanism mimicking human ligaments of tendon sheath makes it possible that the MPH's finger can bend fast with small torque while approaching to the object, and slowly increase grasp torque after touching the object. To enable the mechanism to exert proper range of torque, the dynamics of the mechanism was analyzed. We also conducted a mechanics experiment to verify its mechanical adaptability.

  • Normalized Index of Synergy for Evaluating the Coordination of Motor Commands
    Shunta Togo; Hiroshi Imamizu
    Lead, PLoS ONE, PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 10, 10, e0140836, Oct. 2015, Peer-reviwed, Humans perform various motor tasks by coordinating the redundant motor elements in their bodies. The coordination of motor outputs is produced by motor commands, as well properties of the musculoskeletal system. The aim of this study was to dissociate the coordination of motor commands from motor outputs. First, we conducted simulation experiments where the total elbow torque was generated by a model of a simple human right and left elbow with redundant muscles. The results demonstrated that muscle tension with signal-dependent noise formed a coordinated structure of trial-to-trial variability of muscle tension. Therefore, the removal of signal-dependent noise effects was required to evaluate the coordination of motor commands. We proposed a method to evaluate the coordination of motor commands, which removed signal-dependent noise from the measured variability of muscle tension. We used uncontrolled manifold analysis to calculate a normalized index of synergy. Simulation experiments confirmed that the proposed method could appropriately represent the coordinated structure of the variability of motor commands. We also conducted experiments in which subjects performed the same task as in the simulation experiments. The normalized index of synergy revealed that the subjects coordinated their motor commands to achieve the task. Finally, the normalized index of synergy was applied to a motor learning task to determine the utility of the proposed method. We hypothesized that a large part of the change in the coordination of motor outputs through learning was because of changes in motor commands. In a motor learning task, subjects tracked a target trajectory of the total torque. The change in the coordination of muscle tension through learning was dominated by that of motor commands, which supported the hypothesis. We conclude that the normalized index of synergy can be used to evaluate the coordination of motor commands independently from the properties of the musculoskeletal system.

  • Control Model for Dampening Hand Vibrations Using Information of Internal and External Coordinates
    Shunta Togo; Takahiro Kagawa; Yoji Uno
    Lead, PLoS ONE, PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 10, 4, e0125464, Apr. 2015, Peer-reviwed, In the present study, we investigate a control mechanism that dampens hand vibrations. Here, we propose a control method with two components to suppress hand vibrations. The first is a passive suppression method that lowers the joint stiffness to passively dampen the hand vibrations. The second is an active suppression method that adjusts an equilibrium point based on skyhook control to actively dampen the hand vibrations. In a simulation experiment, we applied these two methods to dampen hand vibrations during the shoulder's horizontal oscillation. We also conducted a measurement experiment wherein a subject's shoulder was sinusoidally oscillated by a platform that generated horizontal oscillations. The results of the measurement experiments showed that the jerk of each part of the arm in a task using a cup filled with water was smaller than the shoulder jerk and that in a task with a cup filled with stones was larger than the shoulder jerk. Moreover, the amplitude of the hand trajectory in both horizontal and vertical directions was smaller in a task using a cup filled with water than in a task using a cup filled with stones. The results of the measurement experiments were accurately reproduced by the active suppression method based on skyhook control. These results suggest that humans dampen hand vibrations by controlling the equilibrium point through the information of the external workspace and the internal body state rather than by lowering joint stiffness only by using internal information.

  • Change of a motor synergy for dampening hand vibration depending on a task difficulty
    Shunta Togo; Takahiro Kagawa; Yoji Uno
    Lead, Experimental Brain Research, SPRINGER, 232, 10, 3101-3109, Oct. 2014, Peer-reviwed, The present study investigated the relationship between the number of usable degrees of freedom (DOFs) and joint coordination during a human-dampening hand vibration task. Participants stood on a platform generating an anterior-posterior directional oscillation and held a water-filled cup. Their usable DOFs were changed under the following conditions of limb constraint: (1) no constraint; (2) ankle constrained; and (3) ankle-knee constrained. Kinematic whole-body data were recorded using a three-dimensional position measurement system. The jerk of each body part was evaluated as an index of oscillation intensity. To quantify joint coordination, an uncontrolled manifold (UCM) analysis was applied and the variance of joints related to hand jerk divided into two components: a UCM component that did not affect hand jerk and an orthogonal (ORT) component that directly affected hand jerk. The results showed that hand jerk when the task used a cup filled with water was significantly smaller than when a cup containing stones was used, regardless of limb constraint condition. Thus, participants dampened their hand vibration utilizing usable joint DOFs. According to UCM analysis, increasing the oscillation velocity and the decrease in usable DOFs by the limb constraints led to an increase of total variance of the joints and the UCM component, indicating that a synergy-dampening hand vibration was enhanced. These results show that the variance of usable joint DOFs is more fitted to the UCM subspace when the joints are varied by increasing the velocity and limb constraints and suggest that humans adopt enhanced synergies to achieve more difficult tasks.

Subjects stood on a platform generating oscillation and held a cup with water or stones under some conditions of limb constraint. As a result, they could dampen hand vibration regardless of the number of joint constraints. The variance of all joints increased as more joints constrained. Nevertheless, subjects could achieve the task enhancing joint coordination.

  • Motor synergies for dampening hand vibration during human walking
    Shunta Togo; Takahiro Kagawa; Yoji Uno
    Lead, Experimental Brain Research, SPRINGER, 216, 1, 81-90, Jan. 2012, Peer-reviwed, This study investigated the motion required to carry a cup filled with water without spilling it, which is a common human dexterous task. This task requires the individual to dampen hand vibration while walking. We hypothesize that a reduction in hand jerk and a constant cup angle are required to achieve this task. We measured movements while human subjects carried a cup with water (WW task) and with stones (WS task) using a three-dimensional position measurement system and then analyzed joint coordination. We empirically confirmed that the value of hand jerk and the variance in cup angle in the WW task were smaller than those in the WS task. We used uncontrolled manifold (UCM) analysis to quantify joint coordination corresponding to the motor synergy required to reduce the hand jerk and variance of the cup angle. UCM components, which did not affect the hand jerk and cup angle, were larger than orthogonal components, which directly affected the hand jerk and cup angle in the WW task. These results suggest that there is a coordinated control mechanism that reduces hand jerk and maintains a constant cup angle when carrying a cup filled with water without spilling it. In addition, we suggest that humans adopt a flexible and coordinated control strategy of allowing variance independent of the variables that should be controlled to achieve this dexterous task.

  • Survey on main drive methods used in humanoid robotic upper limbs
    Yiwei Wang; Wenyang Li; Shunta Togo; Hiroshi Yokoi; Yinlai Jiang
    Humanoid robotic upper limbs including the robotic hand and robotic arm are widely studied as the important parts of a humanoid robot. A robotic upper limb with light weight and high output can perform more tasks. The drive system is one of the main factors affecting the weight and output of the robotic upper limb, and therefore, the main purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the effects of the different drive methods on the overall structure. In this paper, we first introduce the advantages and disadvantages of the main drive methods such as tendon, gear, link, fluid (hydraulic and pneumatic), belt, chain, and screw drives. The design of the drive system is an essential factor to allow the humanoid robotic upper limb to exhibit the structural features and functions of the human upper limb. Therefore, the specific applications of each drive method on the humanoid robotic limbs are illustrated and briefly analyzed. Meanwhile, we compared the differences in the weight and payload (or grasping force) of the robotic hands and robotic arms with different drive methods. The results showed that the tendon drive system is easier to achieve light weight due to its simple structure, while the gear drive system can achieve a larger torque ratio, which results in a larger output torque. Further, the weight of the actuator accounts for a larger proportion of the total weight, and a reasonable external placement of the actuator is also beneficial to achieve light weight., American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2021, Cyborg and Bionic Systems, 2021, 9817487, 1-12, English, Peer-reviwed, 2692-7632

  • Development of a hardwired synergy robot hand based on the human hand synergy
    Togo Shunta
    Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Early-Career Scientists, The University of Electro-Communications, Grant-in-Aid for Early-Career Scientists, Principal investigator, The objective of this study was to develop a robotic hand that can realize various hand motions with a small number of actuators, based on a mechanical representation of the hand synergy, which is the basis of human hand motions. As a result of developing a wire traction and underactuated robot hand, it was found that stable grasping of an object and intelligent hand control are difficult with the underactuated form. In order to improve the grasping ability of the robot hand, we developed a soft finger that mimics the human body structure. Experimental results showed that the asymmetry shape of the distal phalanx and the interaction between the hard fingernail and the soft finger pulp improved the precision grasping ability. We also developed an unlimited rotary wire winding mechanism that can exert high traction force by pressing the wire against a narrow shaft with a drum., 19K14941

  • Modeling of human multi-muscle control system based on voluntary activation and application for myo-electric upper limb prosthetics
    Togo Shunta
    Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Young Scientists (B), The University of Electro-Communications, Grant-in-Aid for Young Scientists (B), Principal investigator, In this study, we aimed to model a mechanism of voluntary control of human multi-muscle, and apply it for controlling EMG shoulder disarticulation prosthesis. First, a notion of voluntary control was introduced to the framework of muscle synergy analysis. Then, our experiments demonstrated that voluntarily activatable muscle synergies could be extracted by using an appropriate index. It was also suggested that the muscle synergy is not a minimum unit of voluntary muscle control. Moreover, we applied the notion of the synergy freezing degrees of freedom to the EMG shoulder disarticulation prosthesis system so as to control its robot-arm movements by low degrees of freedom input. As a result, both-shoulder amputee user could use our developed EMG shoulder disarticulation prosthesis to pick an object and place on it. Above results showed the usability of our proposed notion “humanize-robotics.”, 17K17724

  • 冗長方向を含むシナジー制御・学習モデルの構築とBMI制御への応用
    東郷 俊太
    日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業 特別研究員奨励費, 株式会社国際電気通信基礎技術研究所, 特別研究員奨励費, Principal investigator, 本研究の目的は、人間の冗長方向の制御方策を調べることによって、冗長方向を含んだシナジー制御・学習モデルを考案し、脳活動情報を用いて冗長ロボットアームを制御するBMI制御へと応用することである。本年度は、目標に冗長方向がある場合の冗長性問題を中枢神経系がどのように扱っているのかを計測実験により確かめた。目標に冗長性がある多様体到達運動と冗長性のない二点間到達運動の間で運動キネマティクスを統制し、運動終点での手先インピーダンスを比較した。計測実験の結果,キネマティクスの統制条件下であったとしても,目標に冗長性がある場合に手先インピーダンスは有意に小さな値となっていた。この結果は,中枢神経系は目標の冗長性問題を陽に解いて多様体到達運動を二点間到達運動に変換するというよりも,目標の冗長性を保持し,多様体到達運動の計画および実行に利用していることを示唆した。また、軌道追従タスクにおいて追従目標に冗長性がある場合と無い場合の、外乱に対する応答を比較した。外乱に対する応答の腕運動はUCM解析によって定量的に評価された。その結果、目標に冗長性が無い場合にはある場合と比較して、必ずしも関節角のばらつきが小さくなるわけではないことを示した。また、目標に冗長性がある場合は、利用可能な関節角の冗長空間(UCM)をより広く使って応答することが明らかになった。さらに、中枢神経系による多関節制御を実現するために、どのように多筋を制御するのかも重要な問題である。本研究では、筋シナジーの観点からこの多筋制御に焦点を当て、実験的に筋シナジー仮説の妥当性を検証する枠組みを考案した。本年度に得られた結果は、中枢神経系による目標の冗長性、すなわち冗長方向の制御方策を実験的に確かめた点で重要な知見であり、制御モデル構築の際に重要なてがかりになると考えられる。, 14J07576
