深海柔軟ハンド実現のための高水圧下実験環境の構築と基礎実験

抄録

In Japan’s Exclusive Economic Zone, there are vast reserves of valuable resources undersea. Demands for Ocean resources exploration are increasing, and robotics can be applied to the exploration. However, it is frequently difficult to realize complicated work by an underwater robot with a general metal robot hand. To solve this problem, we will focus on soft materials for robotic hands in this study. To design and develop soft robotic hands that can be used in the deep sea, we developed a water pressure proof measurement system for soft materials and conducted a basic experiment.
