Development of a Five-Fingerd Biomimetic Soft Robotic Hand by 3D Printing the Skin and Skeleton as One Unit
Kazuhiro Miyama, Kento Kawaharazuka, Kei Okada +1
Robot hands that imitate the shape of the human body have been actively studied, and various materials and mechanisms have been proposed to imitate the human body. Although the use…
Design of a Five-Fingered Hand with Full-Fingered Tactile Sensors Using Conductive Filaments and Its Application to Bending after Insertion Motion
Kazuhiro Miyama, Shun Hasegawa, Kento Kawaharazuka +3
The purpose of this study is to construct a contact point estimation system for the both side of a finger, and to realize a motion of bending the finger after inserting the finger…
Fundamental Three-Dimensional Configuration of Wire-Wound Muscle-Tendon Complex Drive
Yoshimoto Ribayashi, Yuta Sahara, Shogo Sawaguchi +5
For robots to become more versatile and expand their areas of application, their bodies need to be suitable for contact with the environment. When the human body comes into contact…
Patterned Structure Muscle : Arbitrary Shaped Wire-driven Artificial Muscle Utilizing Anisotropic Flexible Structure for Musculoskeletal Robots
Shunnosuke Yoshimura, Akihiro Miki, Kazuhiro Miyama +4
Muscles of the human body are composed of tiny actuators made up of myosin and actin filaments. They can exert force in various shapes such as curved or flat, under contact forces…
Designing Fluid-Exuding Cartilage for Biomimetic Robots Mimicking Human Joint Lubrication Function
Akihiro Miki, Yuta Sahara, Kazuhiro Miyama +6
The human joint is an open-type joint composed of bones, cartilage, ligaments, synovial fluid, and joint capsule, having advantages of flexibility and impact resistance. However, r…
