Human dynamic skill in high speed actions and its realization by robot

摘要

This paper describes human dynamic skill of motion control in high speed actions (e.g. hitting actions) and its application to development of ultra-high-speed manipulator. Human skill is investigated by measuring the motion of human hammering action and analyzing from kinetics, and is called as multi-step acceleration by dynamic coupling drive. According to the results, basic concept for ultra-high-speed manipulator to realize human dynamic skill is given. As a simple example, a golf swing robot with one actuated joint and one passive joint with stopper, and a control method to realize two-step acceleration by dynamic coupling drive are proposed. The effectiveness of the proposed mechanism and control method is confirmed by simulation results.
