Statics Investigation about Archery Robot in Drawing a Bow

Abstract

Japanese archers have won medals in international games recently and are expected to win medals in Tokyo Olympics. Therefore, it is very important to improve the reliability of their archery equipment to support Japanese archers. In this study, an archery robot reproducing archer’s shooting have been under development to find three or six arrows with same condition. The prototype of the archery robot manufactured in this study has been used to make clear the required strength as a practical archery robot for Olympic archers. Besides, the shooting experiment with the prototype archery robot and a various of statics investigation on the Olympic condition have been conducted. As a result, we have found the indexes for the design of the practical archery robot for the Olympics.
