Abstract

Recently, we need a human friendly robot which can provide human several services. When such a human friendly robot interacts directly with human, it requires flexibility, safety and so on. In order to realize such a flexibility, there is a way to utilize a flexible material and air compressibility. Therefore, it is considered that the pneumatic soft actuator with passive compliance is useful. The purpose of our study is to develop the pneumatic soft actuator in order to realize the robot with flexibility. We have developed a pneumatic bending soft actuator which is made of silicone rubber. We call it soft gripper. The soft gripper can be applied to a finger of robot hand, artificial hand and so on. In this paper, first, the structure, operation, principle and fundamental characteristics of soft gripper are shown. Next, the proposed analytical model of soft gripper is described and it is confirmed that the proposed model is useful for designing the gripper by comparing the calculated results with the experimental results. Finally, as an application of the soft actuator, a rubber robot hand with grippers is introduced.

Abstract

This paper presents a new design of braided angle soft actuator for flexible bronchoscopy tip, which combines twisting and bending motions of soft actuator. This study is focused on the design, simulation and manufacture stages. The soft actuator was designed to fit with the anatomy of human bronchial tree for inspection purpose. The simulation of the design was done to verify the best structure for producing the functional requirement. The fabrication of the soft actuator utilized a molding system. From the gradient value of linear regression analysis, it demonstrated that the proposed soft-tip is capable of moving close to the functional requirement after standard pressure driving experiment was executed.
