| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we developed a series of motion generation methods to generate instantaneous high-powered motion, in which elastic energy is stored in the elastic body of joints, and then high-powered motion is generated which cannot be generated by actuators alone.
For the development of a humanoid with high power using elasticity, we have developed a compact high-power joint mechanism that can change elasticity even under high load. In order to reduce the size of the joint that requires high torque, a four- and five-bar link structure was combined to reduce the size of the joint by changing the reduction ratio according to the joint angle.

本研究は高効率に大出力を実現させるため冗長自由度を含むタスクに最適な体勢の決定，弾性要素へのエネルギー蓄積を伴うヒューマノイドの全身協調運動を実現させるものである．これまで，関節に弾性要素を含むロボットは多数開発されてきたが，多大な搭載空間を要するものが多く，全身へ搭載できるほど小型の弾性要素を含む関節構造はなかった．さらに，従来研究ではロボットは関節単位での弾性要素のみを論じており，複数関節に渡る弾性要素を協調的に運動させて全身運動に利用しようとしたものはなかった．本成果は，ヒューマノイドに限らず瞬発的に高出力を要求されるロボット一般へ広く適応可能なものであり，その学術的価値は大きい．
