ジャーナル フリーCurrently, many humanoids have been unveiled and successfully demonstrate various walking performance for indoor use. But they are hesitating to go to outdoor fields, such as to streets where so many people are crowded or as to wetlands where water penetration would give them a significant damage. On the contrary, human beings are covered with soft tissue to mitigate the shock of the collision with another person or an obstacle when he goes to crowded places, or to protect themselves against water penetration. Current humanoids want something like soft tissue covering their skins and the most potential candidate is the rubber, which should be strong and elastic enough and durable for a long term usage. One of the most significant weak points of the rubber is its heavy weight, which increases robot weight beyond the practical limit. And generally speaking, soft materials often suffer from abrasion problems. This paper describes prospective better collaborations between the robotic engineers and the soft material engineers.抄録全体を表示PDF形式でダウンロード (1027K) -

ジャーナル フリーIn the coming advanced age society, a human assist robot to support the activities of daily living of elderly and disabled person and the heavy work of nurse is expected to be developed. Such a robot is required to be safe and friendly for human, which should be lightweight and has to provide a proper softness. This type of robot should be constructed with not only a soft body but also small, lightweight and soft actuator and sensor. In order to develop these robot components, a soft material such as rubber could be effective.
In recent years, pneumatic rubber artificial muscles have come to be considered most practical for a human friendly robot. In this paper, some types of pneumatic rubber muscles and their applications to a rehabilitation robot, a soft robot hand and a wearable power assist robot are described based on our research.抄録全体を表示PDF形式でダウンロード (1823K) -

ジャーナル フリーRecently many robots are going to be used in the factories. These robots are designed to do “a fixed work” at “a fixed place” in the factory. Also these robots are not covered with enough sensors so that they may cause damage to human easily. From these reasons, the previous robots couldn't be used in the public places. To use robots in the human society, we must make them safe and dexterous. The soft-materials for robots are necessary to be applied to this demand. In the paper, we introduce some examples of the soft-materials for robots. The first example is a soft actuator using artificial muscles, which were actuated by the air pressure. The second example is tactile sensors using MEMS technologies and silicon-rubber. These materials make the robots, safer and friendlier.抄録全体を表示PDF形式でダウンロード (2018K) -

ジャーナル フリーMechanical Speech Synthesizer is a real mechanical model of human's vocal production mechanism. Our vocal mechanism is composed of “Tongue”, “Lips of mouth”, “Vocal chords” and “Voice road” roughly separately. To realize these components, we should use some soft materials because they are basically constructed with the soft element. In this note, firstly, we introduce a brief history of speech synthesizer, and then show some importance of development of mechanical speech synthesizer. Next, we show some developed mechanical speech synthesizers. Finally, we discuss the next generation mechanical speech synthesizer.抄録全体を表示PDF形式でダウンロード (2214K) -

ジャーナル フリーSeal Robot, Paro, has been developed as a therapeutic robot for people at hospitals and elderly institutions. The body of Paro is covered by “Ubiquitous Surface Tactile Sensor” beneath its artificial fur. The sensor has soft structure. Paro has other kinds of sensors and actuators for physical interaction with humans and its autonomous behaviors. Results of psychological experiment show importance of the physical interaction for interpretation of emotional behaviors of Paro and for high subjective evaluation value. Paro has been used for therapy at children's hospitals and elderly institutions as well as at home. Paro has three kinds of effects to humans; psychological effect, physiological effect and social effect.抄録全体を表示PDF形式でダウンロード (2455K) -

ジャーナル フリーIn this paper, we introduce the newest rescue robots which we have been developing and some applications of soft material for rescue robots.
Rescue robots are expected in the field of searching victims as the first application. The mobility on rubble is in one of the technology required in order to attain development. In order to make robots possible to run over rubbles, we adopted track crawlers using soft material as mobile mechanism for rescue robots. Using soft material is very effective to get traction on an edge of the stair to climb up the stairs. Improvement of the quality of the soft material will be expected from now on.抄録全体を表示PDF形式でダウンロード (3191K) -
