Research Abstract |
This research proves industrial application and its effect of bi-articular muscle actuator with functions such as walking and jumping peculiar to humans and animals. Especially we designed and manufactured by way of trial artificial powered lower limbs suited to human function because it had not been made practicable. (1)Design and manufacture by way of trial of artificial powered lower limbs : We designed and manufactured by way of trial toward high level practically by designing bi-articular muscle driving system. (2)Industrial assessment of bi-articular muscle motions : Toyama Prefecture University (Prof.Oshima) advanced simulation of experimental machine (1)and movement experiment. The length of linkage obtained from simulation of movable area of artificial powered lower limbs was feedback to Tokyo Denki University and made design data. (3)Characteristic improvement of driving system of bi-articular muscle and motion control : By Prof.Haneyoshi (with partial responsibility) the safety of system, positioning servo and backlash removal of gear ware examined from simulation and experimental machine. (4)Dr.Suzuki gave advise of design about handicapped level and operation method of artificial powered lower limbs from a point of view of a medical specialist in rehabilitation. Especially, the effect of bi-articular muscle is placed as a strong jump and high speed motion of animals. Although the structure of usual robot was one motion in joint part the design concept of new robot was realized by the structure of one actuator in two joint parts.
