| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study succeeded in the development of fundamental technologies required for the microhydraulic actuator and the demonstration of a totally-integrated microhydraulic system. First, the most basic motion of microhydraulic actuator was designed and performed using a simplified strip-shaped soft actuator. Then, the other core components necessary for microhydraulic actuator, such as a miniaturized hydraulic pressure generator mountable on microhydraulic actuator and a compact control unit including a battery, were developed and integrated into a basic actuator. Finally, a totally-integrated microhydraulic actuator was fabricated and operated in stand-alone mode to show its usefulness in robotics. The developed microhydraulic actuator worked autonomously in response to external light stimulus.
