| Research Abstract |
Conventional mechanisms are configured with rigid materials, metals, hard plastics and so on. This study has been done to realize novel mechanisms consisting of only soft materials. To achieve this purpose, the study have two aspects, namely, establishments of basic technology and realizations on actual soft mechanisms. As the basic technology, molding and bonding methods of rubber materials with high accuracy have been established, and as several new soft mechanisms of frictional rubber sheets, assisting actuators for colonoscopy, and micro check valves have been developed.
