Abstract

The conventional mechanical structures are composed of many kinds of characteristic parts; those are complexity. The authors propose to manufacture the machine with uniformed structure of simple parts. We fabricated novel soft mechanisms that are composed of only woven strings and thin McKibben muscles. The structure is uniformed; nevertheless, the forms and movements of mechanisms are diverse. In this paper, we report the variety of deformation of active textiles that are woven in three foundation weave with thin McKibben muscles and some strings.
