Reproduced in the robot strokes of a master of calligraphy.

Two days, the research group of Associate Prof., Faculty of Science and Technology, Keio University Katsura is "CEATEC IT-related exhibitions was held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, reproduced in the robot masters of calligraphy strokes of the" motion copy system "(CEATEC I premiered at) Japan 2012 ".

At about 80 cm about 60 cm, height vertically and horizontally, the robot is operated using a PC that is connected. Writing a letter with a brush that is attached to the arm Associate Professor Katsura, works a paper written with a pen to ink the ink stone, the robot has to faithfully reproduce the brushwork of Associate Professor Katsura.

The expectation was "I want to advance the research so that they can be applied to the skill of the artisan tradition and such surgery. Pleased to announce the results at the location of the impact," Associate Professor Gui.

According to the research group, I analyzed the behavior and Turning on the power when the cooperation with well-known calligrapher and Mr. Feng Shou Sado, carry a brush.

I feel that I can apply to various situations. I feel that I want to take it to practical use to research further.



慶応大理工学部の桂准教授らの研究グループは２日、書道の達人の筆遣いをロボットで再現する「モーションコピーシステム」を、千葉市の幕張メッセで開かれたＩＴ関連の展示会「ＣＥＡＴＥＣ（シーテック）ジャパン２０１２」で初公開した。
　ロボットは縦横それぞれ約６０センチ、高さ約８０センチで、接続したパソコンを使って操作する。桂准教授がアームに取り付けた筆で文字を書くと、ロボットはすずりの墨に筆を付けて和紙に書く動作をし、桂准教授の筆致を忠実に再現した。
　桂准教授は「インパクトのある場所で成果を発表できてうれしい。熟練工の技能伝承や外科手術などに応用ができるよう研究を進めたい」と期待を込めた。
　研究グループによると、著名な書道家、佐渡寿峰さんの協力を得て、筆を運ぶ時の動作や力の入れ方を分析した。
　様々な場面に応用できそうな感じですね。更なる研究を進めて実用化に持っていって欲しい気がしますね。
