ROBOT SYSTEM HAVING SUPER-FLEXIBLE BODY

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a robot system which is equipped with a user-friendly sensing system (sensor system), and has a flexible body having an infinite-dimensional degree of kinetic freedom.;SOLUTION: The robot system is formed of the body having the infinite-dimensional degree of kinetic freedom, an actuator 2 for applying power to the body, an internal sensor 3 for detecting a feature value of the body, and a controller 4 for calculating a suitable control input from information from the sensor, and issuing an instruction to the actuator. According to the operation of the robot system, by efficiently selecting the sensing system (sensor system), desired work can be achieved based only on the information of the internal sensor though the robot system is of a super-driving system and a super-deteriorated observing system.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
