| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research was to control a robot hand having flexible tactile sensors by using signals from a Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS).
(1) Griping control of a robot hand using a flexible tactile sensor： The tactile sensor was consisted of four pneumatic sensors and a flexible silicone cap with a finger print structure. The tactile sensor was evaluated the slipping characteristics and was able to detect the friction level between the tactile sensor and the object. The tactile sensor was applied to a robot hand and the same data was obtained.(2) Robot hand control using NIRS signal：Several kinds of tasks were prepared for activation of the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. Results shows that it was very difficult to measure the temporal lobes but 2 or 3 tasks were able to use as the switching signals to control the robot hand.
