A Tankendo Robot that Defends Itself from Opponent Attacks by Moving Immediately before a Valid Strike or Thrust: A Tankendo Robot Defends from Opponent Attacks
IVSP '21: Proceedings of the 2021 3rd International Conference on Image, Video and Signal ProcessingPages 115–121https://doi.org/10.1145/3459212.3459230The final goal of this paper was to realize swordplay (Tankendo) matches between humans and robots. For a mobile trolley robot that cannot suddenly start and stop like a human, we devised a robot system design method that would allow a robot to defend ...

Introducing Swordsman Robot Defensing
DMIP '20: Proceedings of the 2020 3rd International Conference on Digital Medicine and Image ProcessingPages 33–39https://doi.org/10.1145/3441369.3441375Tankendo is performed by exchanges of strikes with a light and short bamboo sword at a comparatively short distance. Since quick movements and decision-making determine the winner and the loser, without heavily depending on the physical strength and ...

A World Camera for Recording the Game Tactics in Martial Arts using Bamboo Swords
ICBBE '19: Proceedings of the 2019 6th International Conference on Biomedical and Bioinformatics EngineeringPages 188–192https://doi.org/10.1145/3375923.3375955The proposed system was designed for tankendo, kendo, or Japanese fencing using bamboo swords that also use a mask. First, a lightweight, miniaturized world-camera that is 3mm square, or smaller than the width of the vertical bar in the mask, is attached ...

Predicting the Types of Striking and Thrusting Motions by using Deep Learning
ICBBE '19: Proceedings of the 2019 6th International Conference on Biomedical and Bioinformatics EngineeringPages 199–202https://doi.org/10.1145/3375923.3375954The final goal is to make a "tankendo machine" that is easy to use, safe, fun, and can provide a mechanical competitor for humans. First, deep learning technology was used to install an image processing system that could detect the start (initial motion) ...

Tankendo Motion Estimation System with Robustness Against Differences in Color and Size Between Users' Clothes Using 4-Color Markers with Elastic Belts
ICBBE '18: Proceedings of the 2018 5th International Conference on Biomedical and Bioinformatics EngineeringPages 110–117https://doi.org/10.1145/3301879.3301890To allow an individual to immediately try to train thrusting and striking motions of Tankendo on his / her own on the spot without changing clothes whenever necessary, we suggests a system, which is capable of capturing and analyzing the postures of ...
