Prof. Masayuki Fujita, Tokyo Inst. Tech.Title: Visual Feedback for Cooperative Motion Control
August 21, 9:00-11:00, Room01
Abstract: In recent years, visual feedback systems combining control and estimation with visual information are utilized in motion control, and its applications are becoming more and more widespread. Meanwhile, cooperative control is getting a lot of attention lately, whose objective is to achieve motion coordination under distributed information such as in sensor-actuator networks. Hence it is natural to use visual feedback for cooperative motion control. We thus introduce a novel visual feedback system integrating our visual observer and pose synchronization motion control. Interestingly it is based on the concept of passivity, which plays an important role in systems theory. Moreover, we demonstrate its effectiveness through simulations and hands-on experiments with robotic systems.

Prof. Satoshi Tadokoro, Tohoku Univ.Title: Rescue Robotics and Its Applications
August 21, 13:15-15:15, Room01
Abstract: R&D of rescue robots started after Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. After 10 years of many people's contributions, some systems have grown up to practical level. This invited talk will introduce development of Active Scope Camera (ASC), a thin serpentine robot which can enter gap of rubble piles 5 cm wide to search victims inside. ASC was awarded The Robot Award 2008. It introduces Kenaf, a tracked vehicle with the highest mobility in the world, which has been developed in a NEDO project.
