| Research Abstract |
An electro-conjugate fluid(ECF) is a kind of functional fluid. A strong and active jet flow of ECF can be generated between electrodes surrounded by ECF, when high DC voltage is applied to the electrodes. By using this phenomenon and MEMS fabrication technology, we realized a novel micro hydraulic power source of high output power density. We developed advanced micro arm and hand systems including ECF micro hydraulic power sources inside.
