报告摘要:
In my talk, two kinds of topics for robotic limb embodiment will be introduced. One is embodiment of an additional robotic finger which is the six finger attached on a palm. The other is an interactive interface which is used to control an exoskeleton robot and to monitor the state of the exoskeleton robot as if it were a part of user’s body.
About the additional robotic finger, we designed a new robotic thumb as an example of an embodiment target which is registered into a user’s body schema. An actual thumb of right hand controls the additional robotic finger attached on a palm of left hand. The user gradually develops a temporal illusion that the actual right thumb moves to a palm of the left hand through some task execution. After a long-term experiment, a slow and fast dynamics in change of the body representation was found in the experiment.
We are challenging a new interface to control the exoskeleton robot. Healthy parts of body such as hands become alternative means to operate the assistive device since a bioelectric signal such as EMG is missing at the lower limb of the paraplegic patient. Under the terms of this paralysis, a feedback from the robot through the alternative path is very important for the user to control the assistive robot without visual confirmation. I introduce the present progressive work in which an electric stimulation is used for alternative feedback of the deep sensation.
