Abstract

Although the word“robot”was inspired by human workers, we do not need to imitate human figures when we design a practical robotic system for some specific applications. Instead, we should be free from all the preconceptions and we should select unconventional shapes in the design of the robots. In my career as a robot researcher in Tokyo Tech for more than 40 years, and CTO of Tokyo Tech start―up company HiBot corporation, I have been enjoying the design of more than 150 robots.<BR>In this talk, I will show some of the examples of creative designs, such as the design of snake―like amphibious robots, the snake―like rescue robots, the snake―like multi―joint arm, which is already in use in the assembly line of automobile industry. The spider―like walking robots, such as a walking and roller skating hybrid robot, a walking and crawler hybrid robot will also introduced.<BR>In the final part of the talk, I will summarize the tips to make creative design of robotics mechanisms and discuss the future direction of the development of robots and ideal relation between robots and human society.
