柔軟性多層分布外装と関節脱臼復帰機構を備えたロボットの転倒・転落時衝撃吸収自己保護行動の実現

抄録

It is preferable that robots have soft outer cover and give themselves fewer impact in contact with humans or surroundings. Although self-protection is one of the most important functions and inevitably required for robust robot architecture, Simple introducing thick “flesh” to a robot tends to impede the movability and generality. In this paper, we have realized soft and thick outer cover by multilayered and distributed softness, and have introduced joint protection by dislocation and auto recover function. Finally, we realized various contact behaviors by the robot with distributed soft cover and joint dislocation ability.
