Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we aim to realize the structure repair in the impenetrable area by the self-destructing robot driven by the non-electric system. In order to realize a non-electric drive that solves this problem, we focused on the resonance phenomenon caused by acoustic stimulation. We also investigated driving using Helmholtz resonance caused by applying sound of frequency. Both were successful in driving, but the former was difficult to prove theoretically, although experimental reproducibility was ensured. On the other hand, the drive using Helmholtz resonator has progressed not only experimentally but also theoretically. To realize a self-destructing robot after being driven, we also created two prototypes and investigated their repair performance.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では音響共鳴を利用した非電気駆動アクチュエータの開発と外部からの熱刺激により反応する自壊型ロボットの開発に取り組んだ.特にヘルムホルツ共鳴器を用いた非電気駆動アクチュエータについてはこれまでにその利用に関する報告がなく、理論的・実験両面からその可能性を提示したことの学術的な意義は大きいと思われる.本研究で目標とする非電気系により駆動する自壊型ロボットによる侵入不可能領域の構造物補修の実現は従来型の災害支援ロボットのもつ限界を解決する一つの可能性を提示するものであり、本研究の進展の持つ社会的意義は大きなものになると期待される.
