薄型柔軟素材で被覆されたロボットユニットの開発

抄録

A robot unit packaged with a flexible plastic film was developed. By packaging the robot with a thin plastic film, waterproofing was achieved at a low cost and in a simple method. This robot can be used not only as a mobile robot, a fish like robot and robot hand. This robot can operate underwater and in living areas by being waterproof. This study developed a robot based on the “robot packaging method.” This method is a technology of vacuum packaging a robot and insulating fluid in a film. In this study, a prototype of the proposed robot unit was also made and experiments of movements were conducted on its swimming and grasping.
