Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research aims to design and control flexible fabric mechanisms who have good touch feel.
Though the mechanism is distributed redundant mechanism, the posture of the mechanism depends only on the length of string when the external forces are small. With a map between length of strings and the posture of the mechanism, the position control is realized. An external force measurement method is proposed and a compliance control is realized. We also confirmed that user's impression to the robot, when they move the arm, are changed by changing the compliance.
A new 3DOF rotation mechanism is also developed.
