Daily Household Assistance

Research Summary

One important practical application for humanoid robots is the assistance they can give within a household environment. Everyday life environments have a wide variety of objects and constantly change without structure. Our research tackles these difficulties from both the software and hardware directions, with the aim to broaden the robot's range of activities and show the possibilities of humanoids in these environments.

Our current research focuses on full-body motion planners, tool recognition, the development of waterproof robot gloves, cleaning and sweeping behaviors, and dish washing behaviors.
