Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study project, we developed a soft finger device with a function of attaching and holding internal organs by using fluid power. It is necessary to attach and hold many kinds of organ softy. Inspired in an octopus, stable adhesive force could be realized by utilizing negative pressure in the sealed space by the object. The suckers had roundly shape for attaching softly and urethane funnels for attaching various kinds of organs. We could verify the validity of the proposed mechanism through experiments, which suggests us that the developed soft finger is effective in the laparoscopic surgery.
