| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we developed the robot arm with variable stiffness and sensitivity by utilizing the stiffness change of shape-memory polymer (SMP) based on the temperature. We improved and miniaturized the SMP machine elements such as the position-keeping mechanism, the artificial muscle and the force and tactile sensors. Moreover, we developed the robot arm by combining the SMP machine elements. Through the experiments using the prototypes, we verified the effectiveness of the robot arm and the SMP machine elements.
