適応自在環境操作機構“Nimbusシート”の繊毛振動に基づく搬送機能の研究

抄録

In this study, “Nimbus Sheet”, a flexible non-grasping manipulator with soft cilia that can be adapted to various human environments has been developed. We fabricated cilia by using soft materials and vibrated them with voice-coil actuators. With a super-slow camera to capture images of the object being transported, we were able to clarify the transport principle of this device. By changing the frequency of the input signal to the voice coil actuator and measuring the propulsion, we were able to confirm the transport performance of the device.
