| Research Abstract |
To realize an extremely lightweight actuator, a design method of an actuator made of plastic films with pleated structures was indicated by experimental evaluations and theoretical models. The pleated structure has some parameters which are pleats pitch, inter-folding amount and a number of pleats. It is easy to design several 3-dimensional shapes. In addition, it makes clear standard characteristics of these actuators experimentally.
