鳥類の後肢を模した腱と趾による樹枝の把持と姿勢安定化の検討

Researches on various bird type flight robots have attracted attentions. However, there are few researches on takeoff and landing. Birds have excellent legs and sense of balance that can stay even on unstable tree branches and electric wires, and they can stay on branches energy-efficiently. Mechanically imitating the landing function of these birds is very important for realizing the autonomous bird-like robots. In this research, we develop grasping mechanism imitating the structure of legs of birds.
