Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Recently, research into robots that coexist with people in areas such as the service and medical industries is active. Such robots need both safety and flexibility. To satisfy this demand, a pneumatic actuator is appropriate because it has natural compliance and is lightweight. Our research focuses on a five-fingered robot hand using low-pressure driven pneumatic actuators. This robot imitates the structure of the human hand, which has antagonistic muscle pairs for each joint. We proposed a control method using the following parameters: "antagonistic muscle ratio" and "antagonistic muscle activity", and implemented the proposed method in a five-fingered robot hand.
