“…While most child robots have partial soft coverings [29][30][31] or none, [32,33] some have whole-body coverings made with soft materials such as soft vinyl, elastomeric form, or cotton cushion. [4,10,11,34,35] Although their compressibility and flexibility are effective at absorbing shock, it is not easy to realize high-motion performance because they are not easy to stretch, and thus interfere with the joint motions. CB 2 [14] and Repliee-R1 [12] have silicone rubber, which has high elasticity, as their coverings to achieve a skin-like texture.…”

“…Some child robots have thick soft coverings for more safety and comfort, [10,11] while others have a smooth surface with a lifelike appearance to provide the visual illusion that they are real. [12,13] Some systems install tactile sensors in the exterior to enrich communications with humans.…”

“…• Thick flesh exterior cover with distributed structure, established with large curvature in whole-body • Rotational joint protective structures which can dislocate by high load and can recover automatically • Behavior state transition for self-protection with tactile sensors and motion sensor We have considered the thick flesh exterior cover [4] enough to withstand the impact of fall down incident. Flesh cover works well not only as cushioning part to protect robot itself, but also as large space which frees sensor arrangement from restrictions by skin shape or mechanism shape.…”

“…Fig.6 shows a structure of our new torque limiter using a ratchet method [6] [4]. A torque limiter of spring clutch [7] by W.Lee has very solid structure, and suitable yield torque value(4Nm) for motor joint protection of small robot, but too large to implement to joints of small robot.…”

“…Developed sensor element is constructed by molding a soft urethane foam with infrared LEDs and corresponding photo-transistors, and it detects 3D deformation of the sensor as voltage changes at each photo-transistors. Also we have evaluated this sensor exterior with a humanoid robot [14]. Although this sensor improves the softness of the sensor exterior during close interaction, following issues have to be solved.…”
