Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Supporting and enhancement of physical capability with body assistant devices for elderly people is a promising way to solve the problem of labor shortage caused by aging society which many countries are facing. With advancing of artificial intelligence, robotics and biosensing technology's, the function of bottleneck of body assistant devices are focused to interface between body and machine. An essence of the problems is invasiveness of body caused by mismatching between body which is always deforming or growing and unmoving machines. In this project, we have developped fabricattion techniques of patternable softmicro robot for body-machine interface.
