Mushikuizan (Missing Digit Arithmetic)

Thu, 01 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

A project developing automatic problem generation algorithms and high-speed solvers for mathematical puzzles like “Mushikuizan” (missing digit arithmetic).

We explored logic to generate elegant puzzles with unique solutions and created interactive solver tools.

House Centipede (Gejigeji) Robot

Fri, 01 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

At Suzukakedai Campus (Yokohama Campus), a strange person has been spotted wandering at night. That is me.

The main targets of my nocturnal insect hunts are stag beetles and rhinoceros beetles, but what I mostly encounter are centipedes and house centipedes. Loitering around the sap spots and radiating an instinctive revulsion, these creatures linger behind my eyelids more than any magnificent beetle. They glide smoothly and quickly across nearly vertical tree surfaces, and before I knew it, I was captivated by their every move (mostly legs, though).

This is a project to build a multi-legged walking robot, focusing on the walking mechanism and coordinated leg movements of the agile, flexible house centipede (Scutigeromorpha).

The concept: a robot that “can also run on vertical walls,” “can move fast on level ground,” and “moves creepily.”

I am working on mechanism design using 3D printing, coordinated control of servo motors, and an autonomous walking program on a microcontroller.
