To attain rich lifestyle support services for the elderly, it is necessary to automatize a human contact operation such as rehabilitation, massage, and so on by a robot. We exhibit a healthcare robot that can operate physical contact by motion-copying system. The technique is possible to acquire and reproduce a human motion using a robot.

This technology attains motion copying that reproduces motion and force in human motions. In particular, we have succeeded in realizing motion reproduction with contact operation by applying acceleration control. It will be possible to attain an innovative skill tradition, e.g., quantitative evaluation of experts’ skills, skill transfer, skill training, etc.

Underwater robot is expected to use for exploration activities or maintenance of underwater building. However, transport before and after the mission is heavy labor. So, We propose an underwater robot which include transformation mechanism frame for reduce the volume at the transportation.

We are working on development of a next-generation machine tool which has ability to recognize a cutting condition without any additional sensors. In our booth, we are supposed to introduce the developed feeling machine tool, the portable 5-axis feeling polishing machine, and these application techniques.

We have developed the functional material of “electro-adhesive sheet” whose adhesive property of the surface can be changed according to applied electric field. The EA sheet is possible to be applied to the brake, clutch, fixture mechanism and so on. We will exhibit the practical application devices in our booth.
