Robots are taken attention as one of key solutions for nursing care field along with aging of population. In the nursing care field, the robots have to work in the limited space and contact with humans directly. Therefore miniaturization and precise force control are two important issues for nursing care robots. Then a tendon-driven rotary actuator with thrust wires and a polyethylene (PE) line was...
In the future, robots will be important device widely in our daily lives to achieve complicated tasks. To achieve the tasks, there are some demands for the robots. In this paper, two strong demands of them are taken attention. First one is multiple-degrees of freedom (DOF), and the second one is miniaturization of the robots. Although rotary actuators is necessary to get multiple-DOF, miniaturization...
