| Research Abstract |
Actuators which use deformation of rubber structure by pneumatic pressure as output are called pneumatic rubber actuators, and in general they have advantages of light weight, flexible and low production cost. In this research, miniaturization and mounting the sensor for the pneumatic rubber actuators have been done. Two kinds of actuators, contracting type and bending type, are focused and mounting the sensor and miniaturization have been achieved respectively.
