| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The method of adhesive resin fusing enables the construction of multi-dimensional multi-joint robots with mechanical elements, sensors, actuators and electric devices integrated in a high density arrangement. This research identifies the problem of low efficiency in heat dissipation and solves it by using aluminum laser sintering to build porous structures for the transfer of heat waste through the effect of water vaporization. The effectiveness was evaluated in the shoulder joint of a whole-body musculo-skeletal humanoid where the porous bone is attached to the muscle driving units. The humanoid was able to perform motions for a longer duration, which could not be achieved in the case of air cooling.
