Soft actuators made of flexible materials, such as rubber and polymers, have possibilities that conventional solid actuators do not have, such as no unnecessary force is applied and the object is not damaged, and the flexible mechanism allows quick operation. In this paper, we describe a transport mechanism that we believe can be achieved by using conductive threads. We believe that this mechanism can be realized by switching the thread to which high voltage is applied. In the future, we plan to use Ansys to obtain optimal values for the design parameters of size and tension, and to demonstrate that it is possible to actually transport objects.
