| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Several types of bio-inspired flexible robot coverings were developed to investigate their mechanical properties and humans impressions. We found that strain-resisting force curves can be tuned by selecting appropriate materials and that touch sensations of the coverings change personality impressions of the robot covered by the flexible coverings: Preference touch sensation significantly improves Likability personality impression and Resilient touch sensation significantly improves Capability personality impression. Furthermore, we developed and evaluated a flexible tactile sensor that can detect surface deformations with no wiring and solids in its flexible layers.
