Major Consideration

When robots interact directly with humans, safety becomes a major consideration. The purpose of this study is to realize a safe humanlike robot hand for a human-friendly robot. The structure of the soft hand is described, its basic operation shown, and wipe motion for a human arm using this hand examined. Finally, a method of force communication task is proposed, which controls mutual communication based on the operating force between a robot and a human. This method is applied to their shaking hands.

Rotary Type

A soft actuator with inherent flexibility has been required to built up a soft mechanical drive system such as a human beings collaboration robot and a welfare machine. In this study, a rotary type soft actuator made of silicone rubber driven with compressed air has been developed. This actuator can realize the desired rotary operation by using the fiber reinforcement and the partial difference of stiffness owing to the rubber thickness. In this paper, the structure and operational principle of the actuator is described, and the fundamental properties of actuator are experimentally investigated. The experimental results show that the actuator has the sufficiently large operational angle and the dynamic characteristics of a damping and elasticity component. Its application to a soft robot finger and a robot hand are discussed. Owing to the flexibility of actuator, this hand can grasp unshaped or flexible objects without any complicated control algorithm. The availability of this actuator is confirmed through some experiments.
