Osaka University (Robotic Manipulation)Osaka University (Robotic Manipulation lab) is conducting research on "manipulation technology" using robot arms and robot hands in robotics. Manipulation means "manipulating" an object to be gripped by a robot manipulator with a hand mounted on the tip. The functions of the human hand are extremely advanced, and realizing the functions of the human hand with a robot is a very challenging research. Humans casually grab daily necessities and perform various tasks, but humans can only achieve such tasks with a variety of a priori knowledge. Therefore, achieving this with a robot is a far more difficult and profound problem than you might expect. Elucidating the function of the human hand is nothing but elucidating the intelligence of the person. In this research, we will proceed with research from both academic and practical perspectives. In particular, from a practical point of view, manipulation by industrial robots is taken up as an issue. However, the research themes of the laboratory are not bound by these. If you have any interest, feel free to hit the door of the laboratory. |
