Abstract

The development of a robot, which is gentle to people in nursing and welfare, has been increasingly considered due to the aging of society. For a robot often in contact with people and requiring safety and flexibility in nursing and welfare, the development of a soft actuator that is compact and lightweight has been suggested. Therefore, in this work a tendon driven robot hand using a pneumatic balloon as a directly operated actuator, satisfying these needs has been developed. In this report, the basic constitution of the tendon driven system and the results of the basic characteristics as a pneumatic actuator are revealed.
