    Abstract

    A McKibben artificial muscle is a fluid-driven soft actuator comprising sleeve fibres and rubber tube. However, as typical bulky and rigid displacement sensors are unsuitable as sensor elements in soft actuators, displacement sensing is challenging for the McKibben artificial muscle. Therefore, we propose an optical fibre-based smart artificial muscle (OSAM) to estimate self-displacement from the bending loss of the optical fibre used as the sleeve fibre. The optical fibre can be effortlessly integrated into the OSAM sleeve using a braiding machine, which is generally used for manufacturing strings, easing the mass production process. The radius of curvature of the optical fibre changed when the OSAM was driven. The displacement of the artificial muscle was estimated based on the sensor output. To demonstrate the usefulness of OSAM, displacement feedback control experiments were conducted using the optical fibre sensor integrated into OSAM. From the results, OSAM’s displacement showed a good response to the target displacement. Therefore, the developed artificial muscle can facilitate displacement feedback control without requiring external sensors, which in turn can improve the performance of rehabilitation and wearable devices.

    The effect of adding texture to increase the deformation of a bilayer actuator by a factor of over 100 was demonstrated. A bilayer actuator is driven by the difference in thermal deformation. Therefore, two films or plates with a large difference in thermal expansion coefficient are required. The newly developed textured film actuator (TFA) obtained large deformation even in a case involving a combination of two films with a small difference in thermal expansion coefficient. The TFA was fabricated by transferring the texture when laminating two PI films with different coefficients of thermal expansion. A TFA with thin‐film electrodes was heated by applying electric power. Thereby, it unfolded from a curled state. The maximum generated force and curvature of the TFA were 7.4 mN and 0.19 mm−1, respectively, at 0.38 W. The manufacturing process for the TFA is simple and convenient, as it does not require adhesives or special materials. In thermal drive bilayer actuator fabrication, the range of material selection is expanded substantially. In addition, large deformations are generated with less energy. Therefore, the energy consumption is likely to be reduced. © 2024 Institute of Electrical Engineer of Japan and Wiley Periodicals LLC.

    Emulsion formulations should be monodispersed in terms of their stability. Therefore, there is a need for a device that can classify droplets of the desired size from polydispersed emulsions in a fluidized bed manufacturing system. In the previous study, we evaluated the fabrication of a droplet manipulation device using acoustic radiation forces through simulation using the finite element method. In this study, particle manipulation experiments using 1, 6, and 10 µm polystyrene particles were first estimated and evaluated in comparison with their theoretical particle behavior. Based on the results we obtained, the driving conditions and droplet behavior were derived, and the droplet manipulation device using ultrasonic waves to shrink monodisperse emulsions was evaluated. As a result, the droplet classification effect in the microchannel was confirmed to be consistent with the droplet behavior prediction, and the microchannel structure with a constriction component improved its classification effect.

    Abstract

    Cryogenic environments are increasingly used in scientific and industrial fields. Recently, cryogenic environments are also used for storage and supply of liquid hydrogen, which is considered essential for the realization of a decarbonized society. Actuators to drive a valve that controls such a low-temperature fluid are required. In this study, a piezoelectric transducer that can be driven in the cryogenic environment has been fabricated and evaluated. Although the performance of piezoelectric elements degrades at cryogenic temperatures in general, the application of a preload can suppress the degradation of performance. Equivalent circuits were used for evaluation, and force factors and figures of merit were compared. As a result, the force factor was as high as that at RT even at cryogenic temperatures, and a high figure of merit was obtained. The result indicates that the transducer can be used for the driving of micro actuator at cryogenic temperature.

    Abstract

    In the fields of medical and sports science, it is required to evaluate muscle activity qualitatively and quantitatively. Currently, mechanomyogram (MMG) that can reflect the mechanical activity of muscle fibers is attracting attention. The purpose of this study is to develop a sensor that can measure MMG during exercise. In this study, a small and flexible MMG sensor using P(VDF/TrFE), which is a piezoelectric polymer material, spun into nanofibers by the electrospinning method has been fabricated and evaluated. By the fabricated electrospinning equipment and the obtained fabrication conditions of the nanofibers MMG sensor has been fabricated by using piezoelectric polymer fibers. By using nanofiber nonwoven fabric for the sensor element, the flexible sensor has been realized. In a sound wave reception experiment assuming MMG measurement, the P(VDF/TrFE) nonwoven fabric element showed that the element detected the sound pressure. Additionally, MMG during isometric contraction and pedaling motion has been measured using the fabricated sensor. The results show that the proposed sensor is effective for measuring MMG during exercise.

    A thin McKibben artificial muscle is a pneumatic actuator with an outer diameter of only 1.8 mm. We fabricated a string-shaped actuator called an “active string actuator,” which achieves a high contractile displacement by accumulating thin McKibben artificial muscles. To control the displacement, the length of the active string actuator should be estimated. However, this is difficult because bulky and rigid sensors are unsuitable for the sensor element of the active string actuator. Therefore, in this study, we propose a new sensing method for estimating the length of an active string actuator. The proposed sensing system is simple and comprises only three components: a step-index multimode optical fiber, a light emitter, and a light receiver. A step-index multimode optical fiber was combined with the active string actuator, and the length was estimated from the change in the amount of light propagating in the optical fiber when the active string actuator was driven. Fundamental experiments were conducted in this study, and the results demonstrated that the optical fiber sensor value changed with the actuator length. This suggests that it is possible to estimate the displacement of an active string actuator using an optical fiber sensor.

    Droplets with a core–shell structure formed from two immiscible liquids are used in various industrial field owing to their useful physical and chemical characteristics. Efficient generation of uniform core–shell droplets plays an important role in terms of productivity. In this study, monodisperse core-shell droplets were efficiently generated using a flexural bolt-clamped Langevin-type transducer and two micropore plates. Water and silicone oil were used as core and shell phases, respectively, to form core–shell droplets in air. When the applied pressure of the core phase, the applied pressure of the shell phase, and the vibration velocity in the micropore were 200 kPa, 150 kPa, and 8.2 mm/s, respectively, the average diameter and coefficient of variation of the droplets were 207.7 μm and 1.6%, respectively. A production rate of 29,000 core–shell droplets per second was achieved. This result shows that the developed device is effective for generating monodisperse core–shell droplets.

    In this study, a pneumatically contracting active cloth has been developed; its application is proposed for a safe sitting-posture recovery system for wheelchair users to avoid fall-related accidents. The active cloth consists of thin artificial muscles knitted via a flat string machine. The safe wheelchair system is configured with an active cloth and seating pressure sensor. The seating pressure sensor, located on the seating surface of the wheelchair, estimates the inclination of the upper body of the user; when this reaches an angle that is dangerous for falling from the wheelchair, the active cloth contracts to correct the posture of the upper body. In this paper, we clarify the fabrication process and fundamental characteristics of the active cloth and indicate its potential as a mechanical element for welfare apparatuses by demonstrating a safe wheelchair system.

    It is known that introducing a pediatric externally powered prosthetic hand from an early age has certain merits such as the recovery of body image. However, this process is not popular in Japan. The high cost and technological problems of the hand have resulted in difficulty in its popularization. The pediatric prosthetic hand must be lighter and smaller than the adult one. Furthermore, parents of users prefer a prosthetic hand, such as a human arm and hand. We developed a prosthetic hand that demonstrates certain functionalities and appearances similar to a real human hand. The prosthetic hand consists of miniature McKibben actuators and is manufactured from acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene resin and covered by a silicon glove. It has flexible joint structures and can grasp objects of various shapes. In this paper, we present a prototype of the pediatric prosthetic hand and the results of gripping experiments, bending and extension of finger experiments, and user tests.

    Recently, soft actuators have been getting increased attention within various fields. The actuators are composed of flexible materials and driven by pneumatic pressure. A thin pneumatic rubber actuator generating 3 degrees of freedom motion, called 3-DOF micro-hand, has small diameter McKibben artificial muscles which generate a contraction force in the axial direction. By this structure, the micro-hand contracts in the longitudinal direction and bends in any direction by changing the applied air pressure pattern to the artificial muscles. The input-output relation of the micro-hand, however, is complicated and has not been modeled. In this paper, modeling for 3-DOF micro-hand is proposed. Moreover, the experimental system is built for the micro-hand and the proposed model is evaluated by using the experimental results.

    An octopus arm with a flexible structure and no rigid skeleton shows a high degree of freedom and flexibility. These excellent features are suitable for working in an environment having fragile and unknown-shaped objects. Therefore, a soft robot arm resembling an octopus arm can be useful as a harvesting machine without damaging crops in the agricultural field, as a rehabilitation apparatus in the welfare field, as a safe surgery tool in the medical field, and so on. Unlike industrial robots, to consider the applications of the soft robot arm, the instructions for it relating to a task cannot in many cases be given as a numerical value, and the motion according to an operator's sense and intent is useful. This paper describes the design and feedback control of a soft master-slave robot system. The system is configured with two soft rubber machines
    one is a slave machine that is the soft robot arm mimicking the muscle arrangement of the octopus arm by pneumatic artificial muscles, and the other is a master machine that gives the target motion to the slave machine. Both are configured with soft materials. The slave machine has an actuating part and a sensing part, it can perform bending and torsional motions, and these motions are estimated by the sensing part with threads that connect to wire encoders. The master machine is almost the same configuration, but it has no actuating part. The slave machine is driven according to the deformation of the master machine. We confirmed experimentally that the slave machine followed the master machine that was deformed by an operator.

    Soft actuators have been employed in various fields recently. A miniature pneumatic bending rubber actuator is one of the soft actuators. This actuator will be used for medical and biological fields. Its flexibility and high safety are suitable for fragile objects. However, its modeling is difficult due to its nonlinearity. There are no suitable sensors to measure the output of this actuator. In this paper, the particle swarm optimization-support vector regression (PSO-SVR)-based estimation method with the generalized Gaussian kernel is proposed. An experimental result with the operator-based robust nonlinear control system is employed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

    This paper presents a redundant musculoskeletal robot using thin McKibben muscles that is based on human anatomy. The purpose of this robot is to achieve motions and characteristics that are very similar to a human body. We use a thin McKibben muscle, which is compliant and flexible, as the actuator of a musculoskeletal robot. Using a bundle of thin McKibben muscles, we develop a multifilament muscle that has characteristics similar to those of human muscles. In contrast, the actuators of conventional musculoskeletal robots are very heavy, not densely attached and have poor backdrivability. Because multifilament muscles are light and can be densely attached, we can attach them to the musculoskeletal robot as skeletal muscle and achieve a redundant system that is equivalent to a human drive mechanism. In this paper, we report a method for fabricating multifilament muscles that imitate various muscles, the development of a lower-limb muscle mechanism for the redundant musculoskeletal robot with thin McKibben muscles and experimental results showing that the proposed musculoskeletal robot achieves humanlike motions that have not yet been reported for other robots.

    A McKibben artificial muscle consisting of a rubber tube and a mesh sleeve made from fibers is a promising actuator as an artificial muscle because of its high power, low weight, and flexibility. However, an external pressure sensor or an expensive electro/pneumatic regulator is generally required to control the pneumatic pressure to drive the actuator.
    A novel smart McKibben-type artificial muscle with a pressure-sensing function has been proposed and developed in this study. One fiber on the sleeve of the actuator is converted from a normal to a conductive material. The applied pressure is estimated by observing the electrical resistance of the conductive fiber. Therefore, the fiber works as both a sensor and an actuator element.
    The fabrication process of the smart artificial muscle is established in this report, and the basic characteristics are clarified. Moreover, a compact driving control system of the smart artificial muscle, which uses a small rotary pump without external sensors, electro/pneumatic regulator, or valves, is proposed.

    This manuscript explains the employment of flexible actuators to act as a soft robot and transporting agent to assist medical X-ray examinations. Although soft robots from silicone material can be transparence and a human compliance used as medical assistive devices, soft robots have some problems: they tend to be sluggish, have long and imprecise gait trajectories, and need their control parameters to be adjusted for motion diversion. A soft robot with omnidirectional locomotion has been created, one that has a combination of pneumatic rubber legs that form a soft robot platform and an associated hardware setup. Tests have confirmed its omnidirectional locomotion ability
    it has a maximum speed of 6.90 mm/s in forward locomotion and a maximum payload of 70 g. These features indicate that the robot can be used as a medical assistive device for fluoroscopy examinations.

    Although pneumatic rubber actuators have unique advantages, (e.g., compliance, lightness, and cheapness) they require an air compressor, valves, and air supply hoses, limiting their use in portable devices. In our previous paper, we proposed the basic working principle of a novel pneumatic source for rubber actuators. This was based on the reversible chemical reaction of water electrolysis/synthesis, using a proton-exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). In the current study, we developed a small PEMFC reactor based on this principle and applied it to a flexible micro actuator (FMA), which is a typical pneumatic rubber actuator, thereby realizing a hose-free pneumatic actuator without a compressor. The results of the driving experiments show that the proposed actuator can be successfully controlled by electric current control.

    Since colonoscopic insertion requires a high level of skill on the part of the examining physician, the patient may experience pain if the physician is not so highly skilled. In this study, our objective is to realize an easy-to-execute endoscopic insertion that does not rely on the physician’s skill. We develop a pneumatic actuator that gives the endoscope self-propulsion capability. The actuator is configured with three bellows made of polyethylene film. By applying pneumatic pressure to the bellows in a specific sequence to extend and contract them, the end of the actuator moves elliptically. Thus, the endoscope can be given propulsion performance by attaching several actuators and driving them in different phases. In this paper, the basic characteristics of the actuator are determined geometrically from the characteristics of the bellows, and then those characteristics are compared to the results of experiments. In addition, experiments are conducted in which a rod, used as a dummy endoscope, is transported through a pipe and inserted in an intestinal tractmodel. The experiments confirmand validate the proposed concept.

    This paper describes a new pneumatic rubber leg mechanism for omnidirectional locomotion. The new mechanism was adopted from a pneumatic balloon actuator where translation and bending motions are produced as a result of balloon deformation. It was constructed using five chambers: one on the top and centered over four bottom chambers arranged in a square. Several possible designs were simulated to achieve the optimal design using a non-linear finite element analysis that considered the design parameters and the geometrical and material non-linearity of the elements. Prototyping was then performed using a rapid and efficient silicone rubber molding fabrication process based on computer-aided design and manufacturing. The experimental results were in good agreement with the analytical results. In conclusion, we have established a new rubber leg mechanism with a high degree of freedom to realize omnidirectional locomotion for a soft robot base, delicate object conveyance, and / or microscope stage applications.

    Recently, the need for mobile gas sources and portable gas controllers that are silent and have high efficiency for pneumatic actuators has become important. Conventional air compressors and their control systems are large, heavy, noisy, and of low efficiency. This paper proposes a new mobile pressure control system using reversible chemical reactions. This device, consisting of a proton-exchange membrane fuel cell and a current controller, can control gas pressures using an electric current. This report shows the basic mechanism and experimental results using the first prototype based on the electrolysis/synthesis of water; this new idea has great potential. The prototype system achieved a pressure of 0.5 MPaG, which can drive most general pneumatic actuators. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Research has recently been increasing on light weight and high-power robot hands that use artificial muscles. By applying ultra high strength PBO fiber sleeves to McKibben artificial muscles, new hydraulic artificial muscles have been developed in our laboratory. In this research, to apply this technology to a high-power robot easily, we have developed new, thin, hydraulic artificial muscles. While the hydraulic artificial muscles reported in our previous paper were driven by a maximum water pressure of 4 MPa, the newly developed thin muscles are driven by water with a maximum pressure of 7 MPa, resulting in very high force capability. This paper details the materials and structure of the new artificial muscles and reports the results of experiments on them. The muscles developed in this work are based on a sleeve and rubber tube design. The movements of the muscles depend on the angle of the knit of sleeve: an angle of less than 54.5 deg produces contraction while an angle of more than 54.5 deg produces extension. Based on this idea, we optimize, using FEM analysis, the angle of knit of the sleeve of each muscle. As a result, a high powered artificial muscle 21 mm in diameter which generates 8 kN of contraction force has been successfully developed.

    Soft actuators driven by pneumatic pressure are promising actuators for mechanical systems in medical, biological, agriculture, welfare fields and so on, because they can ensure high safety for fragile objects from their low mechanical impedance. In this study, a new rubber pneumatic actuator made from silicone rubber was developed. Composed of one chamber and one air-supply tube, it can generate curling motion in two directions by using positive and negative pneumatic pressure. The rubber actuator, for generating bidirectional motion, was designed to achieve an efficient shape by nonlinear finite element method analysis, and was fabricated by a molding and rubber bonding process using excimer light. The fabricated actuator was able to generate curling motion in two directions successfully. The displacement and force characteristics of the actuator were measured by using a motion capture system and a load cell. As an example application of the actuator, a robotic soft hand with three actuators was constructed and its effectiveness was confirmed by experiments. (C) Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, 2011

Each actuator used consists of five extensive elements of encoder, laser strip rod, pressure sensor, valves and PSoC microcontroller incorporated in a single device. By using the ICT, different shapes, spring and damping characteristics can be obtained to aid the design of chairs from the control inputs, i.e., position x, stiffness k(s) and viscous coefficient c. Several control algorithms are presented to realize the communication and control system, and to obtain all data in real-time. The control methodology presented contains an inner force loop and an outer position loop implemented using a unified control system.

    Pneumatic actuators have several advantages, which are high compliance, light weight, safety, and cheapness. However, a pneumatic system is complicated because of electric wires and air supply lines from solenoid valve and compressor. We aim to simplify pneumatic system and proposed a new control method. The developed pneumatic system which is called multiplex pneumatic system is driven by air resonance vibration remotely witbout electric wires. Valves of the system have different resonance systems inside it each. When many actuators are driven by the valves this system is possible to drive the actuators independently using only one air tube supply. This system will be effective to the pneumatic system having many degrees of freedom. In this paper, in this paper, the experimental evaluation of four prototype valves for independent control is described. In addition tbe independent control of four pneumatic cylinders using a time-sharing method for multi driving is succeeded. © 2010 TSI Press.

    Pneumatic systems are well known for their advantages and simplicity, and have been applied in various applications. This paper presents the development and experimental evaluation of an intelligent pneumatic cylinder and its control system. The cylinder is designed to have an optical encoder, pressure sensor, valve and a Programmable System on a Chip (PSoC) as the central processing unit. The PSoC will handle I(2)C communication, input and output data from the analogue to digital converter, counter program and pulse width modulation (PWM) duty cycle. An application tool for a distributed physical human-machine interaction is proposed using an intelligent pneumatic cylinder. The system applied 36 links of the actuator to form an Intelligent Chair Tool (ICT). The control methodology presented contains an inner force loop and an outer position loop implemented using a unified control system driven by PWM to an on/off valve. In this research, four control approaches, i.e., position control, force control, compliance control and viscosity control, were constructed and experimented. The physical properties of various objects were also detected by the intelligent cylinder through the detecting function experiment. Finally, an emulation experiment using mass was carried out and the results clearly show the ability of the intelligent cylinder, and the control approaches towards realization of the future ICT application.

    This paper reports on the fabrication procedure and the evaluation of a sensor with a flexible structure. Recently, because welfare robots with soft structures are being developed, there has been considerable progress in developing various soft actuators. Usually, however, sensors have high stiffness and diminish the compliance of soft actuators. In this study, a soft actuator's displacement was detected with a flexible displacement sensor using deposited conductive paste film. When the film was deformed, the sensor's electrical resistance changed, making a large deformation detectable. Initially, a flat type displacement sensor was fabricated, and its basic characteristics were evaluated. Then, an optimal wave patterning method that improved on the sensor signal's linearity was proposed. Finally, the flexible displacement sensor was formed onto the surface of a flexible microactuator (FMA). A servo control for the soft actuator was constructed with the flexible displacement sensor and high positioning accuracy was demonstrated. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    The purpose of this research is simplifying and downsizing of pneumatic system consisting of many pneumatic actuators. For this purpose a new method of multiplex pneumatic transmission for multi-pneumatic servo system is proposed. The pneumatic valve for this system has a simple structure consisting of two vibrators supported by springs. The working principle of the valve is based on vibrator resonance caused by multiplex pneumatic vibration in air supply line and this makes the valve work as an ON/OFF valve without electric wire or independent pneumatic tubes. Valve control needs superimposed only an air supply tube for its independent control, making this pneumatic system suitable for the system having many degrees of freedom.<BR>Two prototype valves have been developed to confirm the basic function and adapted to the pneumatic system consisting of two pneumatic cylinders. The prototype valve has been designed based on the result of a dynamic simulation and it was confirmed by basic experiments. In the experiment, the independent control for two pneumatic cylinders with prototype valves has been successfully realized.

    Recently, practical use of soft actuators is expected in the field of welfare robot. However, feedback control system for soft actuator has not been realized because appropriate sensor did not exist. Potentiometers or optical encoders which are generally used as displacement sensors have high stiffness and such sensors diminish the compliance of soft actuator. This paper presents fabrication of flexible displacement sensor and FMA (Flexible Microactuator) using this sensor. The flexible displacement sensor was fabricated by depositing conductive paste on the surface of rubber. A paste injection system was utilized to deposit the paste and it realized precise control of thickness, width and pattern of the film. Firstly, an experiment on flat type flexible displacement sensor was carried out to evaluate and improve the sensor. The experimental result showed enough linearity and detecting range. Then Intelligent FMA was fabricated by depositing conductive paste on the surface of FMA. Servo control system for Intelligent FMA was set up and high positioning accuracy was confimed by servo driving experiment.

    Some living beings both on ground and in water can move by forming traveling waves along their bodies, therefore the mechanisms using the traveling waves have the amphibious possibility. Several robots have been developed using the mechanisms, but there are no amphibious robots. In this study, our goal is development of a bio-mimetic soft cord robot which can move on ground and in water. First, we took particular note of a millipede and an eel, because they are similar to point of using the traveling waves for moving, but their living environments are different
    the millipede lives on the ground and the eel lives in water, and their moving principles were cleared theoretically and confirmed by computer simulation. As the result, the relations between their moving and the progressing directions of traveling waves were made clear. Second, a soft cord robot, 915 mm in length, 11 mm in width and 5 mm in height, which was based on the principles of the millipede and the eel was developed. Finally, the experiments of the robot were carried out, and they showed that the robot could move both on the ground and in water successfully. Moreover the robot could negotiate in the curve tube without special control algorithm because of its high compliance.

    我が国は大腸癌の罹患数が増え続けている。その原因の一つに大腸内視鏡の受検率が低いことが挙げられている。大腸内視鏡検査は苦痛であるということが受検率を下げている大きな理由である。そこで本研究では、挿入する内視鏡自体に自走機能を持たせて、患者の苦痛軽減に寄与する内視鏡システムを開発する。医学部と工学部が連携した取り組みで医工連携により、術者の技量によらず、患者にとって苦痛の少ない安全な内視鏡を実現することを目的としている。
    安全で自走機能を有する大腸内視鏡の実現のためシリコーンゴム製のバルーンを用いて，低圧で駆動可能かつ，従来の内視鏡に装着可能な大腸内視鏡挿入支援用のアクチュエータを開発している。
    本年度は，三つのバルーンを2層で配置した構造のアクチュエータを考案し，その検証モデルの設計と試作を行った。下層に配置した二つのバルーンと上層に配置した一つのバルーンに位相差をもたせて周期的に空気圧を印加し，各バルーンを膨張変形させることで，上層バルーンの上端部で人の歩行時の立脚相と遊脚相に相当する変形を励起する。このアクチュエータを内視鏡に取り付けて駆動させることで，内視鏡に推進性能を付与するアイデアである。液状シリコーンゴムを用いた型成形によりバルーンを製作し，三つのバルーンを接合することで機能検証用のアクチュエータを製作した．製作したアクチュエータの上端部の位置変位を計測した結果，10kPa以下の低圧の空気圧印加によって立脚相と遊脚相の状態が実現できていることを確認した．

    本研究の目的は，提案する小児用動力義手を実用レベルに発展させることを目指し，把持動作に加え巧緻動作が可能であり，義手認識機能を備えた動力義手を開発することである．研究期間の前半は，巧緻動作を実現するために義手ユーザが義手を認識することを可能とする感覚フィードバックシステムの開発と，義手を操作する義手制御インターフェースの開発を行う．そして，研究期間の後半では，動力義手の操作性や耐久性などを総合的に評価し，その結果を踏まえて改良する．これらの内容により，提案する動力義手システムを実用レベルまで発展させる．
    2021年度は，感覚フィードバックシステムの開発と，義手を操作する義手制御インターフェースの開発を行った．感覚フィードバックシステムの開発では，感圧センサによる把持情報の入力手法の検討と，把持情報を体にフィードバックさせる出力装置に用いる空気袋を試作した．フィードバック装置の特性評価試験結果により，印加圧力が100から350kPaで締め付けを認識しやすいことを確認した．つぎに，義手制御インターフェースの開発では，義手の指の開閉速度を制御する方法を検討し，細径マッキベン型人工筋肉の流量制御を可能とするスピードコントローラを義手前腕内部に搭載した．また，筋電センサを用いた義手の制御システムを検討して，義手前腕内部に内蔵するための制御基板を製作し，電磁弁とともに内蔵できるように義手の構造を変更した．前腕欠損女児に足して筋電センサによる義手制御システムの動作確認を実施したところ，現状のシステムでは，ライナーやソケットとセンサが干渉するため義手への装着が困難であることがわかった．また，小児は筋肉量が少なく筋電センサの測定値が不安定で，安定的に取得するための工夫が必要であることが明かとなった．

    柔軟材料から構成されるソフトロボットの開発が盛んになってくるとともにソフトアクチュエータの高機能化への期待が高くなっている。研究代表者は空気圧駆動のソフトアクチュエータであるMcKibben型人工筋をベースとし、これにセンサを一体化したスマート人工筋を開発している。スマート人工筋は、アクチュエータとしての構成要素である繊維の一部を光ファイバに置き換えることで実現できる。光ファイバは製紐機（せいちゅうき）と呼ばれる装置を用いることで人工筋の製作プロセスと同時に複合させることが可能である。本研究では、収縮型・湾曲型のスマート人工筋の製作手法の確立や特性の改善を行い、それぞれソフトロボットアーム、ソフトロボットハンドへ適用することで有効性を示す。
    2021年度に実施した研究は下記となる。
    収縮型スマート人工筋に関しては、ソフトロボットアームの要素機構として前年度に試作した収縮型人工筋を並列接合した湾曲メカニズムの基礎特性を実験的に計測した。２本の収縮型スマート人工筋に複合された光ファイバセンサの差分をとることで湾曲方向・湾曲量が推定できる可能性を示した。一方で、収縮型の人工筋に湾曲変形を生じさせる本機構では人工筋の耐久性に問題がみられた。人工筋のスリーブを2重構造にする新たな構造を導入することでこれを解決した。湾曲型スマート人工筋に関しては、光ファイバ表面の加工幅を変えながら湾曲量に対するセンサ出力の線形性が高くなる加工条件を実験的に明らかにするとともに、湾曲型スマート人工筋をフィンガとしたロボットハンドを構築し、その駆動を確認した。

    In this study, we have developed a forearm power prosthesis for children and have evaluated the mechanical basic performance of the power prosthesis. A small McKibben type pneumatic artificial muscle was used as an actuator, and the forearm power prosthesis has high safety and practicability in daily life.
    The operability and durability of the forearm power prosthesis were synthetically evaluated in daily life by the heavy user of conventional child power prosthesis. In the test, the user succeeded in grasping several objects such as a stuffed animal, stacking blocks, and pulling out tissue paper. In addition, the user stated that the power prosthesis was easy to operate in terms of quick movements. Therefore, we verified the usefulness of the proposed artificial arm and the basis technologies for the practical application were constructed.

    In the agriculture, medical, and welfare fields, soft robots with high safety are required. For improving the convenience of the soft robots, it is effective to enhance the functionality of the pneumatic artificial muscles that are used as the drive source of the soft robots. In this research, we have developed two kinds of artificial muscles, one has the sensor function, and the other can change the driving form, respectively. Both artificial muscles have functional fibers. The former artificial muscle can estimate its state by the embedded fiber sensor, and the latter artificial muscle can realize multiple movements such as contracting and bending by shape-memory polymer fiber.

    Calcium spark is diastolic spontaneous calcium releasing event from ryanodine receptors (RyR) on sarcoplasmic reticulum. We have previously reported that myocardial stretch increases calcium spark rate. It has been regarded that stretch-induced increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production from NADPH oxidase stimulates RyR to cause the phenomenon. However, the present study revealed that stretch-induced increase in ROS production is derived from mitochondria.

    大腸は複雑な形状であり、且つ柔軟性の高い器官である。このため、大腸内視鏡検査は医師の技量に大きく依存しており、麻酔を必要とするほどの苦痛を伴う場合もある。本研究では空気圧の印加によって剛性が調整可能なゴム製剛性変化ユニットの開発を行い、これを用いて内視鏡を構成する。大腸に局所的に過負荷が生じた場合、その部位にある内視鏡の剛性を低くすることで大腸へのダメージを回避することが可能である。本年度は1、剛性変化デバイスの基本設計と製作、2、デバイスの駆動実験、3、感圧センサの基礎特製の確認を行った。
    1、ゴム製剛性変化デバイスは内部の空気圧力を変化させることで、デバイス自体の硬さを調整する機能を有しており、本研究の基盤デバイスとなる。一般に空気圧ゴムデバイスは繊維強化の方法によってその挙動が決まる。本研究では理論計算によって、空気圧印加時に、形状変化を極めて小さく抑え、かつ剛性の大きな変化を実現させる繊維の編み角度を求めた。繊維にPBOを用いることでデバイスの高い柔軟性と強度を実現した。また、複数の剛性変化デバイスを直列に構成するためのゴム製ジョイントの開発を行った。
    2、剛性変化デバイスの特製評価を行った。空気圧0.4MPa印加時と非印加時を比較すると、デバイスのヤング率は5倍以上も変化することが可能であった。さらにデバイスの形状変化は極めて小さく、長手方向に対して約2%の伸びであることを確認した。
    3、剛性変化デバイスへ搭載する柔軟センサの検討を行った。2種類の導電性エラストマーを用いて基礎実験を行っており、それぞれ有効性を確認した。今後、剛性変化デバイスへの搭載性を考慮しセンサ形状の決定を行う。

    柔軟機能要素として、高分子材料を母材とした柔軟センサの開発を行い、ゴム製空気圧駆動ソフトアクチュエータであるMcKibben型アクチュエータとFMA(Flexible Microactuator)の制御を行った。柔軟センサは母材である高分子材料と導電性樹脂ペーストから成膜される導電性樹脂膜で構成されており、アクチュエータに内蔵、及び一体成形が可能である。そのため、センサの搭載によるソフトアクチュエータの柔軟性の低下、サイズの増加を防ぐことが可能である。なお、3次元位置決めロボットと液体精密吐出装置からなるペーストインジェクションシステムを構築することで、導電性樹脂膜は任意面に均一な厚みでパターニングすることが可能となっている。センサ特性は高分子材料の粘弾性特性の影響を受けるため、対に配置した2つのセンサの出力差を利用する手法と力学モデルによってセンサのモデル化を行う手法によりセンサ特性の改善を行い、ソフトアクチュエータの変位量と発生力の制御を実現した。
    また、高分子材料のみで構成される高コンプライアントロボットに柔軟センサを形成した。ロボットは、索状体形であり、非常に安価に製作が可能であるため、将来は大腸内視鏡用ロボットとしての応用が期待できる。人体に挿入することを目指すロボットにはロボットが進行する経路環境に対して、高い安全性を実現することが求められるが、これまで安全性は機構的な柔軟性によってのみ確保されていた。これに対して、柔軟センサを利用して力制御を行うことで、ロボットは通過する経路環境に応じて駆動状態を変化させ、経路壁への過剰な負荷を回避することが可能となり、制御性による安全性を付加することに成功した。
