| Research Abstract |
Due to the aging Japanese society, the wearable driving system such as rehabilitation device is required. The purpose of this study is to develop small-sized wearable control devices. We aim to develop wearable driving units driven for long time. As a result, a displacement sensor and a bending sensor for a novel flexible pneumatic cylinder that could be used even if the cylinder bends was proposed and tested. The flexible pneumatic cylinder with built-in linear encoder and banding sensor was also proposed and tested. As a control device for wearable actuator, fluid control valve with self-holding function that can be driven for a long time by using a small-sized battery was proposed and tested. In addition, the performance of these tested wearable control devices was improved.
