“…Sometimes, more DoFs joints are devised, but with a set of several one DoF actuators. Recently, a spherical resonant actuator was proposed as a multi-joint with a multi-DoF actuator [11]. These sorts of actuators are intended to be used at shoulders, wrist and ankles of humanoids.…”

We describe here the humanoid challenge that is part of the RoboCup robot soccer competitions. We focus on how relevant research issues of humanoid robotics — for example, biped walking and human-like sensors and actuators — can be addressed, and we investigate how teams proceed to solve the given tasks. Thus, new technologies like artificial muscles and artificial skin might find their way into the competition very soon. We detail examples of these technologies and discuss in which way they may contribute to RoboCup, and in return how RoboCup may serve as a benchmark for achievements within these technologies. Further we describe how RoboCup works as an open, worldwide cooperative project in robotics and AI.

“…Therefore, it is desired to develop a magnetic actuator that can move in arbitrary direction without auxiliary mechanism. Under these circumstances, we have developed a novel spherical resonant actuator for compact appliances [6]. It is easy to control the actuator with high efficiency in every axis direction by using mechanical resonance.…”

In this computation, the magnetic field equation is coupled with the electric circuit equation and the motion equation. And the mesh modification method using the Laplace equation is applied for the rotation of the spherical actuator. The dynamic characteristics of this actuator are quantitatively clarified using this method.Index Terms--actuators, dynamic response, finite element methods, magnetic analysis, magnetic fields
