(PH8)Robotic Mechanisms with SIDM Micro-linearactuator

A piezoelectoric micro-linearactuator based on the Smooth Impact Drive Method (SIDM), which was driven by using small vibration due to a piezostack and difference between frictions in moving direction, was developed and the output characteristic of the atuator was experimentally examined. The SIDM micro linearactuators were applied to a small planar network-structure robot for CP-control of the robot.
*We have collaborated with Conica-Minolta Co. Ltd. for this research.
