This paper presents a lightweight milli-scale crawling robot that can crawl on both sides, which was inspired by the movement of insects. This robot has an excellent ability to overcome obstacles, such as the narrow gaps and the rough terrain. In addition, the robot can crawl steadily and rapidly through triangular alternation, such as ants or cockroaches. The process of smart composite microstructures (SCM) was employed to make a lightweight robot structure. The SCM process replaced the conventional mechanical parts with flexure joints and composite links, which allows the weight of the robot to be reduced. In addition, the robot structure was robust against external impacts owing to the compliance of the constituent materials. Using the SCM process, the robot weighed only 32g with twelve legs in total on both sides. The robot showed a crawling speed of 0.52m/s on the front side and 0.42m/s on the backside.

Multi-agent robot system is the system which executes by cooperating with each robots and controlling several robots. Capability and function of each robot must be considered for cooperation behavior. Furthermore, it is necessary to analyze the given environment and to replace complex task with some simple tasks. Analysis of the given environment and role assignment for the given tasks are composed of discret event. In this paper, the hierarchical controller for multi-agent robot system using the petri-net state diagram is proposed. The proposed modeling method is implemented for soccer robot system. The effectiveness of proposed modeling method is shown through experiment.

In this study an educational robot for programming education was designed and implemented. The robot in this study is composed of hardware containing a sensor, a processor, and a motor driver circuit, software to control the educational robot, machine parts to manufacture the robot structure, and a teaching material containing educational contents and the manufacturing manual. This robot is characterized by direct programming without a computer, which gives no spatial restrictions on robot education and enables dynamic program education beyond limitations of the existing static computer program education since students' programming results are found in the robot's movements. User-centered functional commands, which make it possible to control the robot with simple knowledge concerning hardware and basic commands, were used to enable even students who first accessed a robot or computer program to make access with ease.

We describe about the graphic simulation system which supports the determination of efficient multi-robot motions during cooperation. For the construction of the simulation software for multi-robot motions, two problems are presented. First problem is that all the robot motions must be determinded using both the desired object motions and the holonomic constraints with the object. To find the robot motions combined with the various object motion path, the robot motions are derived from the desired object path instead of a master robot path. Therefore robot motions can be easily modifiable with the various object motions. This type of motion determination is different from that of the master-slaves method using the master robot motions. The other is that the developments of robot application softwares need a heavy cost when the participated robots or the tasks given to the robots are changed. Based on object-oriented programming paradigm, we present useful software objects describing robot application programming environment. The object-oriented programming paradigm increases the software reusability, reliability, and extensibility, and also provides the structual concepts to cope with the various demands of robot application programming.

Take-out robots used for handling of the plastic parts manufactured with the injection mold are usually the gantry type that consists of long and thin links. In this study, we want to evaluate the safety of the take-out Robot structure through finite element analysis. The take-out Robot is automated robot to transport from one location to another in the molded article. The take-out Robot structure has a 380 kilogram weight, a 1300mm width, a 670.5mm depth and a 670mm height. It confirms the equivalent stress and the deformation of the load and its own weight through weight analysis. It looks for the natural frequency of the take-out robot through modal analysis. It confirms the acceleration, the normal stress and the deformation about the natural frequency of the take-out robot through response analysis. Also It repeats the analysis by changing the structure of the take-out robot, to confirm the results and it is determined whether the safety of the structure. These analysis results are effectively used to reduce the vibration of the take-out robot.

Comparing with fixed-type Robots, Mobile Robots have the advantage of extending their workspaces. But this advantage need some sensors to detect mobile robot's position and find their goal point. This article describe the navigation teaching method of mobile robot using omni-directional position detection system. This system offers the brief position data to a processor with simple devices. In other words, when user points a goal point, this system revise the error by comparing its heading angle and position with the goal. For these processes, this system use a conic mirror and a single camera. As a result, this system reduce the image processing time to search the target for mobile robot navigation ordered by user.
