Research Abstract

An ICPF actuator, a new highpolymer gel membrane actuator has advantages that large motion is generated by low voltage input in wet condition. Application to micromanipulation, in-vivo surgery, etc. are expected.
The objective of this research was development of micromotion mechanisms having parallel structures as application of ICPF actuators. The following results were attained.
1. Identification and modeling of viscoelastic and nonlinear properties of ICPF actuator
2. Improvement of the computer model of ICPF actuator to improve accuracy of motion prediction
3. Optimal design, fabrication and improvement of a mechanism with 3 degrees of freedom
4. Optimal design, fabrication and improvement of a mechanism with 6 degrees of freedom
5. Modeling and analysis of dynamic interference and transmission characteristics
6. Analysis and control of redundant mechanisms
7. Construction of a tele-micromanipulation system using stereoscopic image
8. Manipulability improvement by learning control
9. Experimental evaluation of micromanipulation
The result of evaluation was as follows.
1.3-DOF manipulator
The displacement was 2 mm, and the practical frequency range was up to 13 Hz. It followed well to high-speed motion commands, although stationary condition longer than 3 seconds were difficult. The developed device is appropriate for dynamic micromanipulation.
2.6-DOF manipulator
The translational and rotational displacements were as small as 0.4 mm and 2 degrees, respectively.
The practical frequency range was up to 3 Hz. Improvement of the ICPF material is necessary.
