Compared to transmission systems based on shafts and gears, tendon-driven systems offer
a simpler and more dexterous way to transmit actuation force in robotic hands. However …

Many systems and mechanisms in the human body are not fully understood, such as the
principles of muscle control, the sensory nervous system that connects the brain and the …

We have been develo** human mimetic musculoskeletal humanoids from the view point
of human-inspired design approach. Kengoro is our latest version of musculoskeletal …

To develop Musashi as a musculoskeletal humanoid platform to investigate learning control
systems, we aimed for a body with flexible musculoskeletal structure, redundant sensors …

Underwater humanoid robots (UHRs) have emerged as a significant area of interest in
robotics, with the potential to overcome the limitations of traditional underwater robots and …

Musculoskeletal humanoids have various biomimetic advantages, of which redundant
muscle arrangement is one of the most important features. This feature enables variable …

Human can accomplish manipulation with high precision, flexibility and robustness. As a
musculoskeletal system naturally possesses superiorities of flexibility and robustness …

The body structure of an anatomically correct tendon-driven musculoskeletal humanoid is
complex, and the difference between its geometric model and the actual robot is very large …

To achieve contact tasks with musculoskeletal humanoids, adaptive motion by muscle
tension control and robustness against actuator malfunction is important. In this paper, we …

Various musculoskeletal humanoids have been developed so far. While these humanoids
have the advantage of their flexible and redundant bodies that mimic the human body, they …
