1A1-C04 Development of position/attitude-controllable manipulator for a variously-shaped objects by controlling a fluid field using a grid pattern air nozzle

Abstract

This paper proposes a manipulator which can generate a translation and rotation of fluid field. It can translate and rotate an object. Its structure is simple and it consists of 2 plates with lattice-shaped air holes. We show its structure and principle of operation. We have experimentally verified that the manipulator can translate and rotate a variously-shaped object
