| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
For investigating function of local reflexes by using a humanoid robot driven by artificial muscles, we have developed artificial muscle spindles to observe the state of the artificial muscles. The artificial muscle spindle consists of local receptors that observe the state of the muscle and a local computing device that can generate emulated response of the living muscle based on the measurement of the receptors. By utilizing such artificial muscle spindles, we can easily realize the local feedback for muscular-skeletal humanoid robots. For example, we demonstrated that the lateral inhibition of stretch reflex greatly contribute to the stabilization of jumping.
