| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The goal of this research is developing an anthropomorphic active dummy of human body with muscle-driven bio-inspired humanoid robot. We developed a thin flexible pneumatic actuator that mimic bionic muscle. In the pilot studies, we conducted vertical jumping experiments with a legged robot and arm swing experiments with high-speed robot arm. We integrated these components into a full body musculoskeletal humanoid robot. We chose swimming movements for the experiments. In a large water tank, the robot performed dolphin kick motions. The orientation and thrust force are measured in the experiment. We verified that the musculoskeletal robot can be a research platform for biomechanics studies.
