Developments
Yunit8 - HaptHexa
Graduation Research at TMCIT Dept. Electrical Engineering
HaptHexa is a hexapod robot consisted of 18 servo motors and six 3-axes force sensors equipped on each limb. The research aims to achieve a mobility robot that has high capability to walk on uneven terrain only with low-cost ground reaction force sensors.
This project received a best presentation poster award among the TMCIT Dept. Electrical and Electronics, 2018.
HaptHexa project is an open-source project, all technical resources are available on GitHub and GrabCAD.
Yunit7 - Team TUPAC 2018
RoboCup Rescue Rapidly Manufactured Robot Challenge
Yunit7 is a 30cm-sized rescue robot that has four rotatable sub crawler and 6DoF manipulator, two fisheye cameras, thermal camera, and two-way audio function. I was a developer of the robot and president of the team. The team placed 1st in the RoboCup 2018 world tournament held in Montreal Canada.
This development is under the open-source project, its technical resources are available on the team website.
Yunit6 - Team TUPAC 2017
RoboCup Rescue Rapidly Manufactured Robot Challenge
Yunit6 designed for team TUPAC, a newly organized team participating in 2017 RoboCup Rescue RMRC competition. The team resulted in 3rd in RoboCup 2017 world tournament held in Nagoya Japan.
Yunit5 - Team Mavericks 2017
RoboCupJunior Soccer Open League
Team Mavericks is a merged team launched with team M Robots in 2017. Through designing of Yunit5, I tested various new functions including dual kicking mechanism and omnidirectional camera. Our team resulted in 10th place and best presentation award in RCJ Japan Open 2017. The robot also awarded in "Aircord Award" in ものづくり文化展 ORIGINALMIND.inc, click here for more.
Yunit3.2 & Yunit4 - Team Yunit 2016
RoboCupJunior Soccer Open League
After 2015 competition, some members left from my team and I decided to launch new team and continue to participate in the next year's competition.
Yunit3.2(left) is remodeled robot that uses Yunit3 as a base model, and Yunit4(right) is a brand new design with four omniwheels, high power dribbler. Team Yunit placed 7th in Japan Open 2016 in Nagoya.
Yunit3 - Team Gcraud Nano
RoboCupJunior Soccer Lightweight League
After we won in Japan Open 2015, our team started to design and build a new robot for RoboCupJunior world tournament. Then, I was in charge of team captain and hardware design of robots.
Our team got 5th place in the world tournament. Please click here to see disassembling report of this robot.
Yunit1 & 2 - Team Gcraud Nano
RoboCupJunior Soccer Lightweight League
These two robots were made as I joined RRC (RoboCup Research Club) as a member of team "Gcraud". We got 2nd place in Japan domestic tournaments with those two robots. At time, I was in charge of hardware design of both, and software of attacker robot (right in pic).
Other Activities
Collaborator of QUIKS
Simple and inexpensive human motion tracking system
QUIKS is a kinetic sensors consisted of 10+ IMUs that measures each angles of human parts. These devices are attached to each part of human body, and each devices are connected by wire. Each motion sensor transfers its motion data to the computer via RS-485 network.
This system realizes human motion tracking with low cost compare to existing motion tracking system that uses computer vision or so on. Also, this system has high scalability and extendability that allows user to add or subtract sensor.
Team TUPAC Video Portfolio
In 2018
After we won the 2018 world tournament, I made this video portfolio to familiarize our team's activities. This video was adopted as promotion video, now you can see this video from link below, or visit TMCIT Official Twitter Account.
