| Research Abstract |
Robots that are designed for use in the fields of medical care and welfare must be safe for the human environment because they often come into contact with humans. Furthermore, robots must have dexterity that is similar to that of humans. Under these circumstances, we have developed a robot hand using tendon-driven system, which is lightweight, flexibility and has the same degree of freedom as biological human hands. Moreover, we have devised a robot hand with pneumatic stiffness change finger that can be changed surface stiffness by changing input pressure. And, the stiffness-changeable finger is able to control the grasping force easily by predictive functional control.
