Abstract(in English) In this study, the author used a humanoid robotic arm with rubber muscles whose muscle-skeleton structure was equal to that of the human, for the purpose of understanding precise and complicated voluntary movements produced by human brain. First, responses which resembled primitive reflexes observed in the human infant were generated by the robotic arm, and output patterns of human CNS to each muscles were estimated. Then, magnitude and time-related parameters of the output patterns were changed, so as to experimentally examine how much precise and complicated the behavior of the robot may become in its voluntary movements.
