| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we call robots that are driven by powerful artificial muscles and perform tasks with great power far beyond that of humans "power muscle robots," and aim to explore the possibilities of "power muscle robots" that are different from conventional mechanized robots, assuming their application to (1) power humanoids and (2) wearable robots. The objective of this study was to explore the possibilities of "power muscle robots," which are different from conventional mechanized robots.
Specifically, using hydraulically driven McKibben-type artificial muscles that have 30 times higher energy density than conventional pneumatic artificial muscles, we developed a 1.5-m-long humanoid arm consisting of 29 muscles, a power wearable robot that assists in standing up motions, and a Superman suit that assists in giant swing performance. We demonstrated the usefulness of the "Power Muscle Robot.
