Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we have created a "micro-electrostatic electrostatic chuck device" that can attract /grasp and detach an object by electrostatic force, inspired by the micro-hair structure of the gecko fingertip. As a result, we have developed a technology that enables handling/manipulating of objects that was difficult in the past. Specifically, we have synthesized a large-area device that is fabricated by stacking electrostatic chuck modules with fine hairs having a conductive core, and proposed a mass-production method that can be reliable with a view to industrialization. The proposed technology of manipulation system that can easily grasp and release an object such as fragile minute parts, metal foil, paper, plastic film, cloth, and others could become the fundamental key technology of for the future dexterous manipulation.
