| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The objective of this research is to achieve a tether less drive of micro robots using self-excited electrostatic actuators. A self-excited electrostatic actuator (Franklin bell type) was successfully driven with no tether by being combined with a PLZT element, which can generate a voltage of a few to several kV with UV radiation. Further, this tetherless actuation system was applied to a micro locomotion robot and succeeded in driving the prototype robot.
