 Snake Robots |
"Why can snakes move ahead on without legs?" From this problem, we started research of snake biomechanisms, which resulted in the development of "Snake Robots". Snake Robots have many possible applications, even though the structures are simple.

Wheeled & Crawler Vehicle  |
Locomotion is one of the key issues in the development of practical robotic systems. By using wheels and crawlers, locomotion can be greatly simplified without hampering mobility. The wheeled and crawler vehicles developed in our lab focus on field works and practical applications on unstructures terrain.

| Special Locomotion Robots |
Usual mobile robots have wheels, legs, etc. for their locomotion. Special robot's locomotions such as wall climbing were reallized with special mechanisms.

| In-Service Inspection Robots |
In-Service inspections are of vital importance to nuclear power plants and other facilities. We have developed robots that are able to move and perform inspections automatically in such plants.

| Components for Robots |
In intelligent machine systems, any active degree of freedom requires an actuator and its respective driver. The cost of motor drivers, actuator and other components accounts for an important share of the development budget. Therefore, we have developed the "TITech Driver" (motor driver) and other components aiming at price and size reduction.

| Walking Robots |
Walking vehicles have the following unconventional features:
1) they can move on very rough terrain where wheeled and tracked vehicles cannot go;
2) they can select the footprint intelligently and move without continuous track;
3) they can use the legs as hands, as well as terrain adaptive outrigger, when performing handling operations.

| Colony Robots |
Colony robots have several possible applications, such as position identification, mapping, surveying and others. High terrain adaptivity, detachable mechanisms and redundancy for safety are amongthe advantages of the colony robots developed in our lab.

| Planetary Exploration Robots |
Planetary exploration robots are under development in our laboratory, especially for surveying tasks in the moon and in Mars. Light-weight, expandable mechanisms and parent-children rovers are some of the main characteristics of such robots.

| Mine Detecion and Removal Robots |
There is a large numbers of landmines deployed all over the world, injurying and killing civilians every day. We are developing and researching instruments and systems for mine detection and removal with the support of Japan Science and Technology Corporation.
