AboutAbout the lab
Taking on the development of measurement and control systems and robots
The Kanamori Lab specializes in researching the development of measurement and control systems and robot systems.
The lab started in April 2005 under Prof. Kanamori, who came from a mechatronics lab at the University of Electro-Communications.
The lab tackles practical challenges and problem solving, and has taken part in many joint research projects.
Its research keywords include high speed (real-time), intelligence, and safety and security.
Key terms
- Calibration
- The task of determining afterward the position of the laser emitter and the information about the planes it creates. Its accuracy affects the accuracy of the measurement.
- Modularization
- Making components into units by function so that they are easier to combine and use.
- Intelligent encoder
- An autonomous control system in which the encoder itself has information processing functions, reducing the load on the main control device.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab works on a wide range of topics, from automating measurement, improving its accuracy, and mechatronic components to developing musical instrument-playing robots and household robots. This page introduces its research on position measurement, environment recognition for mobile robots, sensor integration, and mechanical systems using encoders.
*Illustrative imageThree-dimensional position measurement using laser light
The lab rotates planes created by laser light spread into a line, and finds the intersection point from the rotation angles of three planes, aiming for low-cost, fast, and highly accurate position measurement. Currently, the lab is researching calibration with higher accuracy.
*Illustrative imageEnvironment recognition for use indoors and outdoors
So that mobile service robots that coexist with people can move both indoors and outdoors, the lab devises and develops environment recognition methods for moving that work in both settings. This is based on the problem that handling each environment separately requires more sensors and is impractical in terms of cost.
*Illustrative imageSensor integration for mobile robots
Mobile robots need environment recognition, self-localization, and obstacle avoidance, and these require a variety of sensors. The lab aims to make various sensors easier to use and more efficient by turning them into modules.
*Illustrative imageEncoder control and a taiko drum-playing machine
The lab develops an autonomous control system called the intelligent encoder, in which the encoder itself has information processing functions to reduce the load on the control device. Using it, the lab is developing high-precision performance robots that can reproduce human playing techniques and evaluate musical instruments.
