| Research Abstract |
In this research, a driving principle of growing from the tip and of steering the directions was constructed, aimed to realize the same phenomenon as the plant root whose growing point is extending in the deep earth. Furthermore, by taking advantage of the proposed principle, the inline pipe robot to search for the crack in pipes, the search robot in disastrous sites, and the flexible manipulator to hold a human body after creeping between the body and the bed were developed, which could demonstrate the usefulness and the validity of "Plant Growing Actuator."
