Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Robotized jaw simulators have been developed,in order to clarify the entire control mechanism of jawmovements.Their muscular actuators were previously controlled under the two different schemes for the isotonic and isometric contractions,which is incomprehensible in actual muscles.To simplify this,we developed a cable-tendon DC-servo actuator and its impedance-control system with both position and cable-tension feedbacks.This muscular simulator can function as a locater and a variable suspension during the isotonic and isometric phases,respectively.Occlusal force can easily be adjusted by a parameter tantamount to the spring constant.This actuator was incorporated into our robot,JSN, 1,as bilateral masseters,consequently a more life-like opening and closing movement being achieved.
